WHAT: |
ARM will showcase the latest advancements in its microcontroller and embedded design technology this week at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Sept. 21-24, 2009. ARM and its Connected Community Partners will demonstrate the latest ARM technologies, and present numerous papers and tutorials educating attendees on embedded design alternatives, the latest in chip architecture and designing for power efficiency. |
||
| Also at the conference, ARM and NXP Semiconductors, the independent semiconductor company founded by Philips, announced the mbed microcontroller rapid prototyping tools, the industry’s first online platform for fast, low-risk prototyping of microcontroller-based systems, and an accompanying developer community, mbed.org. (See related press release, “ARM and NXP Launch mbed to Enable Rapid Prototyping with Microcontrollers.”) | |||
| A full line-up of product and technology demonstrations will be available at the ARM Partner Pavilion (#901). Participating partners include: Bluespec, Certicom, Electric Cloud, Gainspan, Intrinsity, Keil, NXP Software, Synopsys and Vast. | |||
|
|
|||
| In addition, ARM will be leading an educational session, delivering a paper and participating in technology panels with partner NXP Semiconductors. | |||

The microcontroller (MCU) market has been evolving rapidly to address a wider application space while maintaining costs at 8/16 bit MCU levels. Among the application challenges which MCU designers face are ultra low power for long battery life, reliable/deterministic response and the ability to reduce software development costs by porting existing software between designs. In this traditionally fragmented market, the ability to reuse existing software when migrating between architectures, silicon vendors or just other processors, is often a costly process. This session will focus on how these costs can be reduced by examining some of the existing standards and safeguards which exist to prevent software developers ending up in a blind alley of a single processor architecture or vendor. |

|
Rob Cosaro, Systems, Applications & Architecture Manager, NXP Semiconductors |
|||
|
Tuesday, Sept. 22 - 11:30 am–1 pm and Wednesday, Sept. 23 - 11:30 am–1 pm; Room 203 |
|||
| This presentation will provide an in-depth review of the world’s first microcontrollers based on the new M0 core from ARM. The talk will include the M0 core, the chip architecture, special features and performance. The M0 allows for extreme low-power microcontroller implementation, features highest code density and provides fast deterministic interrupt performance. | |||

Rob Cosaro, Systems, Applications & Architecture Manager, NXP Semiconductors |
|||
|
Wednesday, Sept. 23 - 1:15 pm–2:45 pm; Room 203 |
|||
| This presentation will describe the implementation of the NXP microcontroller series based on the ARM Cortex-M0 core, the smallest, lowest-power and most energy-efficient ARM processor available. There will be detailed discussion on the architecture of the part showing why it is very suitable for energy sensitive applications and simple to learn and use. In addition, a new web-based design environment will be unveiled. | |||
