EXPRESS LOGIC
“The arrival of the Cortex-M4 processor will extend the ARM architecture to a wide audience of MCU and digital signal control developers,” said William Lamie, CEO, Express Logic. “Our ThreadX® RTOS powers more than 600 million units worldwide and we have worked closely with ARM during development of the Cortex-M4 processor to ensure that ThreadX users, and those looking to use an RTOS for the first time, have a smooth migration path to this exciting new processor technology.”
IAR SYSTEMS
“The Cortex-M4 processor marks a significant step in the evolution of the MCU market by providing efficient signal processing capabilities for motor control, automotive and other embedded applications” said Anders Lundgren, ARM Product Manager, IAR Systems. “As the world’s leading independent software tools vendor for deeply embedded systems, IAR Systems has a tradition of enthusiastically supporting ARM MCU processors and will continue to do so in the future.”
ITTIAM
“Ittiam has been a strong partner of ARM, offering performance and power efficient audio solutions for portable, home and automotive segments on a wide range of ARM processors,” said Shantanu Jha, vice president, Media Processing at Ittiam Systems. “The launch of the Cortex-M4 processor with enhanced DSP instructions and SIMD unit enables very efficient audio processing, making it a compelling choice for control applications requiring signal processing functions at low power.”
MENTOR GRAPHICS
“The ARM Cortex-M4 processor addresses the need for an efficient, low-power MCU capable of operating at ever-increasing performance levels but requiring a low memory footprint and fast interrupt response,” said Glenn Perry, General Manager, Embedded Software Division, Mentor Graphics. “Our strong working relationship with ARM ensures that the licensees of our Mentor Embedded Nucleus Real Time OS – the most widely deployed commercial real-time OS in portable applications today – plus our full range of embedded tools and software IP, can fully exploit the advantages of the ARM Cortex-M4, and help them bring their products to market quickly.”
MICRIUM
“ARM has, for many years, been at the forefront of low-power processor technology and its leadership is reinforced by this latest addition to the Cortex-M processor portfolio,” said Jean Labrosse, Micrium CEO. “Micrium's leading RTOS product family will rapidly support and enhance the DSP and floating point features of the Cortex-M4 processor.”
SEGGER
“We have worked closely with ARM for many years, most recently on the development of the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS),” said Rolf Segger, founder and CEO of SEGGER Microcontroller. “We will fully support the Cortex-M4 processor, with both, our leading J-Link emulator family as well as our middleware line of products. The middleware support will be based on CMSIS, enabling fast and risk free software development and reuse.”
