Deep Learning Models With MATLAB And Cortex-A


Today, I’ve teamed up with Ram Cherukuri of MathWorks to provide an overview of the MathWorks toolchain for machine learning (ML) and the deployment of embedded ML inference on Arm Cortex-A using the Arm Compute Library. MathWorks enables engineers to get started quickly and makes machine learning possible without having to become an expert. If you’re an algorithm engineer interested ... » read more

Making Software Development Equivalent For Models And Boards


Selected Cortex-M processors include the instruction trace microcell (ITM) to help understand system behavior. Although it can provide other types of trace, the ITM is commonly associated with printf() output and event tracing from applications and operating systems. Historically, Fast Model systems have used semihosting or UART models to provide character and file I/O when running software on ... » read more

Extracting Maximum Performance From Hardware


The Arm DS-5 Streamline performance analyzer provides system performance metrics, software tracing, and statistical profiling to help engineers get the most performance from hardware and find important bottlenecks in software. The Raspberry Pi 3 is one of the easiest systems for learning Streamline, and a quad-core Cortex-A53 also makes it a good target for learning Linux development. Many o... » read more

Fast Models, Cycle Models


There has been a lot of coverage since the launch of new CPU and graphics cores at Computex 2017, including some information about early software development. The public announcement of new ARM IP is a milestone for ARM Models because it means we can now talk about available models and share additional information about the new IP. ARM Fast Models and Cycle Models enable virtual prototyping ... » read more

Do More, Earlier


The ARM Cortex-R52 processor is the most advanced processor for functional safety and the first implementation of the ARMv8-R architecture. Along with the announcement of the Cortex-R52, ARM offers a number of development tools to help partners speed up their path to market. This is especially helpful for a new architecture which highlights software separation for safety and security. This arti... » read more
