The Cambridge, United Kingdom-located ARM has taken yet another step in its journey in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). It has released a chip designed for smart home appliances and wearable products.
The company said the new processor ARM Cortex-M7 would run devices from connected fridges to smart watches and fitness wristbands. The new 32-bit Cortex-M processor will deliver double the compute and digital signal processing (DSP) capability of today’s most powerful ARM-based MCUs, it claimed. Other expected uses of Cortex-M7 include smart control systems employed in a range of applications such as motor control, industrial automation, advanced audio, image processing, and in a variety of connected vehicle applications.
The ARM Cortex-M7 is targeted at high-end embedded applications used in next generation vehicles, connected devices, and smart homes and factories.
“The addition of the Cortex-M7 processor to the Cortex-M series allows ARM and its partners to offer the most scalable and software-compatible solutions possible for the connected world,” said Noel Hurley, General Manager, CPU group, ARM. “The versatility and new memory features of the Cortex-M7 enable more powerful, smarter and reliable microcontrollers that can be used across a multitude of embedded applications.”
