“The Cortex-A5 processor is an exciting addition to the ARM Cortex family of scalable multicore processors, targeting a wide variety of devices including low-cost handsets and other consumer electronic devices,” said Stephan Lauterbach, general manager, Lauterbach GmbH. “Lauterbach’s PowerDebug and PowerTrace range of development tools provide support across the whole family of ARM processors and we work closely with ARM to ensure that developers have the tools required to bring innovative products to market in a timely and cost-effective manner.”

“A common challenge for many of our customers is minimizing design area and power consumption without sacrificing performance,” said Bob Smith, vice president, Product Marketing, Magma. “We will continue to collaborate with ARM to enable our mutual customers to leverage the integrated and automated low-power design capabilities of Magma’s Talus 1.1 IC design platform and the new Cortex-A5 multiprocessor architecture to achieve these objectives.”

“The ARM Cortex-A5 processor is the ideal solution for fast, efficient multicore systems so it is a perfect complement to Mentor’s Multi-OS on multicore embedded software solutions,” said Glenn Perry, embedded systems division general manager, Mentor Graphics. “Customers will benefit from being able to seamlessly run their existing Cortex-A9 processor-based Nucleus RTOS, Linux and Android applications unchanged on this new processor.”

“The Cortex-A5 scalable multiprocessor represents an ideal opportunity for developers and OEMs to move to the ARMv7 architecture and to a multicore design,” said Kroy Chang-Zeviar, Business Alliance manager, QNX Software Systems. “The QNX Neutrino RTOS provides an SMP-capable, networked and memory-protected real-time operating system that already runs across a variety of ARM Cortex processors.”

“The power and performance characteristics of the Cortex-A5 processor enables JavaFX to bring visually compelling user experiences to consumer, commercial, and embedded devices,” said Eric Klein, vice president of Java Platform Marketing at Sun Microsystems. “Java's strong multicore support and the Cortex-A5 processor's compatibility with the Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors mean that the rich programming and display capabilities of Java SE and JavaFX will be available to developers on these amazing processors.”

“The Symbian platform and the ARM Cortex-A5 processor will enable the delivery of advanced, always-on multimedia use cases, while respecting the power and memory constraints of mobile devices,” said Shaun Puckrin, head of Community Support, Symbian Foundation. “Symbian and ARM work in close collaboration to deliver high-performance converged mobile devices and our history of collaboration has seen the Symbian platform scale across all ARM processor architectures. The multiprocessor variants of the Cortex-A5 processor will bring even greater performance and power efficiency to internet-enabled mobile devices, through the use of the Symbian platform’s class-leading support for Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP).”

“The ARM Cortex-A5 processor takes advantages of the latest design and semiconductor technology advances to enable a true ‘Internet Everywhere’ experience,” said John Chilton, senior vice president, marketing & strategic development at Synopsys. “ARM and Synopsys have collaborated extensively to deliver performance and energy optimized design enablement with the Galaxy™ Implementation Platform for ARM processors; by adding support in Synopsys’ Lynx Design System for the ARM Cortex-A5 processor and enhanced 40LP physical IP, we will provide designers a complete, optimized production-ready IC development platform for next-generation, internet-enabled devices.”
