Partner Quotes: ARM Connected Community

"GPU compute as enabled by ARM Mali opens up exciting possibilities to implement next-generation imaging and video processing features in mobile devices. To achieve really outstanding user experiences will require management of algorithm complexity, implementation across CPU and GPU cores, hardware-specific optimizations and integration with external imaging subsystems. We see the ARM Connected Community interactive platform as an ideal forum for groups working to leverage their shared experiences and we intend to be an active contributor to online discussions."

- Michael Tusch, CEO, Apical

The ARM Connected Community is an inspired user-friendly way to leverage the conversation to disseminate timely and relevant technical information to a hungry worldwide engineering audience."

- Brian Fuller, Editor-in-Chief, Cadence Design Systems

"I love the ARM Connected Community. It is a forum not only where we can showcase our firm, but also where we can find and connect with other partners that complement our efforts. This is invaluable resource for a laser focused smaller firm like DSP Concepts. We don't have to give up our lean and mean strategy in order to accomplish big things."

- Chin Beckmann, Co-Founder, DSP Concepts

"Freescale has a long track record of successfully deploying advanced ARM technologies across a range of processors and microcontroller platforms. As the ARM Connected Community comes online, Freescale looks forward to sharing our expertise on ARM-based embedded systems for the greater benefit of the growing ARM community. In addition to the clear benefits of ARM’s new community initiative, Freescale and its ecosystem partners also help to reduce risk and speed time for customers leveraging ARM-based Freescale solutions with professional software services for the Android and Linux operating systems."

- Jean-Christophe Bodet, Director of Microcontrollers Software & Services, Freescale Semiconductor

"With all due respect to my colleagues in our Technical Publications group and our solution architects who regularly publish informative whitepapers, nothing beats the variety and depth of content available in a thriving online community. ARM has wisely invested in further improving an already engaging community site with a new design and capabilities that simplify the discovery and creation of technical materials, relevant conversation threads and ARM ecosystem activities. I predict the new online ARM Connected Community will be an even busier ‘central square’ for ARM developers and partners, and I look forward to participating more directly, and more often, then ever before."

- Joe Hupcey, Director of Product Marketing, Jasper Design Automation, Inc.

"As Linux usage grows and the ARM architecture penetrates more markets, the sharing of best practices within the ecosystem becomes more of a challenge. We're excited to see how the community interacts on this new platform and are looking forward to actively participating."

- Steve Taylor, Executive Director of Marketing, Linaro

"The next generation of the ARM Connected Community provides a new interactive forum for embedded system developers to engage with experts and improve their skills and designs. Our experts are excited to enable embedded developers in the community to make use of the high performance, low power and security features of ARM-based devices with the virtualization enabled by the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor, the Nucleus RTOS and Mentor Embedded Linux operating system and advanced Sourcery development tools."

- Kamran Shah, Director of Marketing, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division

"The ARM Connected Community is another valuable resource for designers of ARM-based systems. There are many places within the Connected Community where engineers will have meaningful discussions and interactions directly with NXP engineers on Embedded, Tools and Smart / Connected Technology."

- Ross Bannatyne, General Manager of Mass Market Microcontroller Product Line, NXP Semiconductors

"As the leading supplier of the STM32 ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers and a lead partner on many other ARM cores, ST sees the new ARM Connected Community as a valuable tool that supplements and enhances resources like our own my.ST.com for developers looking to solve problems and develop next-generation applications. Our cooperative efforts with ARM have allowed us to combine valuable innovations like our Adaptive Real-Time Accelerator (ART) with a standard, efficient architecture, to deliver a powerful, yet cost-effective MCU and ecosystem."
