This year’s Embedded System Expo conference and Wireless M2M Expo conference were combined and held in Tokyo this week. In this event, companies showcase new ideas and components that can be used for various embedded applications, from deep embedded devices to enterprise equipment. I spotted some interesting new components and devices to share with you in this blog.

4K & 8K DTV

Low voltage differentiated signaling (LVDS) is used for the video image transfer line in most DTVs and Full-HD TVs. One of the issues created by new, higher resolution displays, such as 4K and 8K, is that the high-speed video transfer line must be cheap and fast enough to cope. Actually, when it comes to external video cables, only display-ports and the newly standardized HDMI ver2.3 are capable of transferring 4K2K native video images. But for internal use, such interfaces are simply too expensive. “V-by-One” technology, invented by THine electronics, could solve this problem and has already been adopted by many DTV companies. “V-by-One” enables 3.75Gbps data transfer by two signal lines and Mitsubishi demonstrated it with its ...

Embedded World 2013 in Nuremberg was a very successful event for ARM and our partners. My blog summarizes the highlights for microcontrollers and the related development tools.

A preview of the upcoming Keil MDK-ARM Version 5 was shown at the ARM booth. MDK Version 5 will introduce Software Packs, a new system to manage software components for embedded applications. Visitors have seen this new functionality, as well as the recently introduced enhanced editor capabilities.



A laser show controlled by an ARM Cortex-M4 based hardware was an eyecatcher at the ARM booth. The system is designed with...

Phew, the second day of Embedded World is at a close. In yesterday’s blog we had the chance to meet up with Chris Styles from ARM, Terrance Bar from Oracle, Paul Zoratti from Xilinx and Dr. Majd Zoorob from PhotonStar, and I only walked 5793 steps – today I just about doubled that with 10502 steps and I haven’t yet ventured out into the brisk weather for some dinner and a well-deserved Weissbier!

8-bit versus 32-bit MCUs - The impassioned debate goes on

Recently I read a post by Steve Leibson that referred a very passionate on-going debate on the “ARM Based Group” on LinkedIn from a few industry veterans about the pros and cons of 8-bit versus 32-bit MCUs.

I did think about jumping in myself and adding to the debate but instead I thought I’d step back and try to clear the air about where my colleagues and I at ARM think the benefits of 32-bit lie for your average current 8-bit user.

First let’s list out some of the main areas of debate in the discussion:

8-bit will always be lower power because they are simpler architectures with one-quarter the bus sizeMost applications can be handled by 8-bit MCUs and if efficiency is more important than performance then a 32-bit MCU offers no advantage over an 8-bit one 8-bit is far the best solution because the number of cycles to get to an interrupt is less
Here are my thoughts on each, for...

FTF 2012 and Everything ARM

Freescale’s Technology Forum (FTF) has always been one of my favorite conferences to attend, and this year has to be one of the best. The opening keynote from Freescale’s new CEO, Greg Lowe, was jam packed with ARM® processor-based product announcements, so much so that ARM’s CEO Warren East himself decided to make a guest appearance in a show of his support.

I was also very excited to hear the guest speaker this year, Dr. Peter Diamandis CEO of the X Prize Foundation, give his keynote on inspiring innovation. Did you know that the X Prize for a privately owned manned spacecraft was created in 1996, but did not actually have the $10 Million of prize money funded until May 2004? That’s just a few months before the prize was actually won. Interestingly, a total of $100 Million was invested in new technologies as a result of all the teams competing for the prize.

In addition to being a venue for Freescale to demonstrate its own products, FTF also represents an opportunity for Freescale...
