ARM Enables Cortex-M0 Processor IP Availability via ARM Designstart Portal!ARM has announced the availability of the ARM® Cortex™-M0 processor via the ARM DesignStart™ online IP portal. The special configuration of the processor is designed for universities, start-ups and ad-hoc technology teams looking to teach or prototype with the popular ARM Cortex-M0 processor. Through this online access model ARM will accelerate the proliferation of ARM technology in university curriculums and research projects, while also providing a starting point to evaluate ARM Cortex-M0 processor design and implementation.
The product is available for download as a pre-configured Verilog netlist to approved educational institutions and companies with no initial payment necessary, with an upgrade path to a full ARM Cortex-M0 processor license available when customer products ship at high volumes. Although this special version has limitations in power optimizations and feature configurations relative to the full ARM Cortex-M0 processor, it is fully software compatible and enables designers to create manufacturable designs.
As the processor is a fixed configuration of the standard ARM Cortex-M0, it enjoys the support of compiler tools, RTOS and fabric IP available from ARM and members of the ARM Connected Community® ecosystem, including the Keil MDK-ARM development tools and RL-ARM RTOS and middleware libraries.
ARM is asking that only faculty members from universities request the materials.
Application Note: Cortex™-M0 Implementation in the Nexys2 FPGA Board – A Step by Step Guide
An Application Note has been written by Pedro Martos and Fabricio Baglivo from the Embedded Systems Laboratory in the School of Engineering at the University of Buenos Aires. It describes a basic implementation of the Cortex-M0_DS in an FPGA board. It’s intended as a starting point to build a system around the Cortex-M0_DS processor. It includes example hardware and software, and takes you through synthesizing the system, functional simulation, and hardware verification.
About the ARM Cortex-M0 Processor
The ARM Cortex-M0 processor is the smallest and lowest power 32-bit ARM processor available. The exceptional low power, small gate count and code footprint of the processor makes it ideal for ultra low power MCU and mixed signal applications, providing 32-bit performance and efficiency in an 8/16-bit footprint. ARM Cortex-M0 also offers a broad ecosystem, software development tools support and a future proof solution through upwards compatibility with the Cortex-M family. As the entry-level ARM processor, it is ideal for designers, students and researchers who need low cost access to industry standard processor IP.
About ARM DesignStart Online Portal
The ARM DesignStart portal provides easy and comprehensive online access to a broad range of physical and processor IP from ARM. The portal contains design kits and evaluations of several of ARM processors including ARM Cortex-M0, and an extensive selection of ARM Artisan logic, memory and interface IP. The DesignStart IP provides a silicon proven path to accelerate ARM processor-based SoC designs. Please see http://designstart.arm.com.

ARM University Program/University of Plymouth Educational Interview Series on iTunes!The first in a planned series of educational and technical interviews between ARM and the University of Plymouth is now available on iTunes! The first interview is with Bill Hohl, World-wide ARM University Program Manager, discussing the ARM business model and general information about the suite of ARM cores and architectures. Additionally, Bill talks about the skills needed by graduates today in the embedded software and hardware fields.
ARM Assembly Textbook! Teaching ARM Assembly Has Never Been Easier!One of the most often requested resources from ARM University Program is an undergraduate text (2nd or 3rd-year) which covers the fundamentals of assembly and hardware. To facilitate the teaching of ARM, a new textbook has been written that includes a discussion of the ARM7TDMI, the basics of assembly, tables, fractional arithmetic, mixing C and assembly, subroutines, and memory-mapped peripherals. It also includes part of the Version 4T Architectural Reference Manual, and uses the free Keil software tools, which can simulate not only an ARM processor but an entire microcontroller. Students can either learn at their own pace or use the text in part of course offerings.
The book is titled "ARM Assembly Language: Fundamentals and Techniques", and is available directly through CRC Press or through Amazon.com.
