To Bolster IoT Security, Think Holistically
By Nandan Nayampally - 10 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

On Friday Oct. 21, a new phrase captured the public’s imagination: “script kiddie.” That’s what security experts suspect was at work when a denial-of-service attack slipped in through thousands of security cameras and home entertainment devices and brought much of the Internet to its knees. If you’re not familiar with the term, “script kiddie” refers to an unskilled person who ... » read more

Simplifying Software Separation With Real-Time Virtualization
By James Scobie - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Electronic systems are becoming more complex across multiple markets including automotive, industrial control and healthcare. Vehicles are beginning to drive themselves, industrial robots are becoming increasingly collaborative, and medical systems are automated to assist with surgery or deliver medication. This trend is not a new phenomenon. What was a high-end capability in the last generatio... » read more

What You Need To Know About Functional Safety Requirements
By Andrew Hopkins - 08 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

Driver safety technologies, traffic congestion, environmental concern, and the fundamental premise of how we use our cars are influencing the design of next-generation vehicles. As a sign of the times, Euro NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) continues to push the vehicle manufacturers by regularly evolving the five star rating to include more and more safety assist features. These include: ... » read more

Confronting Design Challenges With Smaller Thermal Envelopes
By James Bruce - 11 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 0

For design engineers, physics giveth but physics can also taketh away. Consider leading-edge smartphones. Outside the improved performance that each generation gives consumers, the handsets themselves get thinner, sleeker, lighter. The reduction in the Z height is effectively a given with each new generation. In 2010, the HTC Nexus One was 11.5mm thick; this year, the Mate 8 is 7.9mm. Rem... » read more

How To Scale IoT For “Time To Money,” Security
By Brian Fuller - 14 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

When it comes to design, IoT can be boiled down to “time to money.” It’s more complex than that, of course, but the unique, dynamic nature of the segment is changing the way we design systems and how we think about security. “IoT is not a device. It’s delivering service across the cloud to connected devices,” said Nandan Nayampally, vice president of marketing with ARM. “In the... » read more

How Do We Get To Full Throttle In Mobile?
By Brian Fuller - 16 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

By Govind Wathan and Brian Fuller With each new generation of mobile device, we look forward to running the latest apps—especially games. (It's amazing how immersive mobile games have become in just a few years). We’re consumers but we’re also engineers, and here we’re faced with a huge challenge. It’s not just the games that get more powerful. A whole new generation of virtual ... » read more

Evolving LTE Brings New Era Of Connectivity To IoT
By David Maidment - 12 May, 2016 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things is here and ramping deployment today, but there’s still considerable work underway to optimize many aspects of the network. Not the least of this are the access technologies that exist or are emerging to enable the ‘last mile’ connectivity for IoT connected objects. Wireless access broadly fits into two main areas: licensed band and unlicensed band. Short-range unli... » read more

Bluetooth Smart: Doing (A Lot) More With Less
By Charles Dittmer - 14 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

By Charles Dittmer and Prithi Ramakrishnan I was really struck by Ann Steffora Mutschler's piece last month (Running Out Of Energy?). She notes that by 2040, the energy required for computing is expected to surpass the estimated world's energy production. That's a problem. One factor could be the rise of IoT applications. Billions of devices will be deployed in the next decade, and we ... » read more

New Twist On Scalable Electronics?
By Brian Fuller - 14 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

Snug in their tents at Everest base camp a few years ago, Matt Du Puy and his colleagues marveled at the howling snowstorm outside, until they peeked out and saw snow drifts piling up quickly. They made a quick decision to tug on their boots and seek safer ground. As they did, clutches of other campers emerged and fell in line, bleary-eyed refugees trudging through the darkness. “We got of... » read more

What The Next Era Of Automotive Design Will Require
By Brian Fuller - 11 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 0

ARM, automotive, automotive electronics, lower-power processors, ADAS, automated driver assist, smart cars, autonomous vehicles, TECHnalysis, Your father’s automotive market, with its long design cycles and reluctance for change, is in the rear-view mirror— a spec on the horizon in fact. The industry’s enthusiastic embrace of electronics — and the astonishing cost, functional, safety... » read more
