How to Pick the Right ARM development Board for Your Embedded Project

Author: Boardcon   Date: 2014-04-02

ARM development boards are the ideal platform for accelerating the development and reducing the risk of new SoC designs. The combination of ASIC and FPGA technology in ARM boards delivers an optimal solution in terms of speed, accuracy, flexibility and cost.

ARM development boards are often used to:
Evaluate, benchmark and start software development on the latest ARM processors
Prototype, validate and develop software drivers for new SoC IP blocks - for example, a modem or video engine
Test custom logic blocks or system IP in an FPGA, connected to an ARM core running at ASIC speed
Key Features
Support for a wide range of ARM processors from deeply embedded to multimedia applications
Large system memory and rich set of peripheral interfaces: Ethernet, USB, LCD, UART and more
Full CoreSight debug and trace
Linux distributions for early development of driver and application software
User documentation, FPGA example code, example firmware and expert technical support
