ARM TechCon Redux

This week in part two of my 2011 ARM TechCon coverage, I chat with Will Tu from ARM about the development of ARM’s new Embedded Software Store and his impressions of the show this year. I also chat with Jake Alamat (Director of Product Marketing for Sitara ARM microprocessors at Texas Instruments) about their new line of $5 ARM® Cortex A8 microprocessors, and try to find out what the heck they were thinking with that price point.

I’ve got another Spartan-6 SP-01 Evaluation kit to give away this week, but you’ll have to listen find out how to win.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
