Without the impetus of arm-like processors upstream.

The rising tide of intelligent hardware, but also the arm of this kind of processor upstream company. Yesterday in the arm of the technical panel hosted Beijing station, saw some arm technology in the application of intelligent hardware, introduced me to the interesting points.

ARM processor in the intelligent hardware to play the core computing role, while Arm is also trying some things networking platform research.

ARM processors in smart devices:

This is a few more familiar with the smart hardware, toy ball Sphero, Nike FuelBand hand ring, Fitbit hand Ring, which is based on the calculation of the CPU ARM Cortex M Series architecture, Sphero using the 48MHz frequency of the M0 processor, FuelBand and Fitibit are 32MHz M5 processors, unlike the cortex a series architecture processor, which is common on mobile phones, with a lower frequency of M series and lower power consumption.

Compared with the 1GHz mobile phone processor, these mature intelligent hardware processor is only a fraction of the phone processor, so it is also rare to see foreign mature wear products to emphasize how strong their own processor, but some of the domestic type of Android phone wear products in the emphasis on how high the frequency, In fact, it is a mistake to walk on the road to enjoy themselves.

Another is interested in arm's 64-bit processor, the architecture name is Cortex A53, A57, listen to the scene of the engineers said, product licensing has been released, such as chip manufacturers to produce landed. Elevation from 32 to 64 is more efficient in improving processor performance relative to the frequency and multi-core elevation.

At the same time, I also saw arm in the intelligent furniture, some of the attempts, in this is called Iris software and hardware platform, you can achieve a lot of smart home, or things networking functions, such as the usual use of mobile phones to control the temperature of the home, switches and so on.

This is an intelligent switch that can be turned off remotely.

The small box is an action sensor, fixed in the home a suitable location, if the induction is not active, will turn off the air-conditioning.

A contact piece and a base, the design scene is used in the curtain, when the contact piece leaves to indicate that the window opens, may adjust the temperature.

Home Alarm, if someone invades, the following key button will be prompted.

Arm is mainly to do chip design, will not compete with downstream manufacturers, but from the arm in the smart home, low power processor, intelligent hardware has been a move from top to bottom of the industrial chain to advance the revolution, and soon to the outbreak.
