ARM Accelerates Secure IoT from Chip to Cloud
ARM (News - Alert) has released its most comprehensive product suite ever to deliver
new levels of security, efficiency, low-power connectivity and device
life cycle management for the Internet
of Things (IoT). With new processors, radio technology, subsystems,
end-to-end security and a cloud-based services platform, ARM is aiming
to increase the rate at which IoT scales globally.
"As IoT technologies become more pervasive, it is time for a complete
solution that secures data from the sensor to the service," said Pete
Hutton, executive vice president and president of product groups, ARM.
"ARM partners shipped a record 15 billion chips last year, many destined
for smart embedded applications. The IoT already runs on ARM but the
goal now is scale, which we are enabling today through a uniquely
comprehensive set of technologies and services built to work together
seamlessly."
The ARM ecosystem is the industry's most successful IoT partnership with
more than 1,000 members. ARM's latest suite of technologies will further
enable the ecosystem with the fastest and most efficient route to secure
IoT applications from the chip through to device management in any cloud.
Bringing proven TrustZone to Cortex-M processors ARM
Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 are the first embedded processors based on the ARMv8-M
architecture, bringing the proven secure foundation of ARM
TrustZone to the most constrained IoT nodes. The majority of the top
ten global MCU suppliers have already licensed one or both processors.
Lead partners include Analog Devices (News - Alert), Microchip, Nuvoton, NXP, Renesas,
Silicon Labs and STMicroelectronics.
-
The highly versatile Cortex-M33
features configuration options including a coprocessor interface, DSP
and floating point computation, with increased performance and
efficiency relative to Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4
-
The Cortex-M23
takes security to the most constrained devices, building on the
standard set by Cortex-M0+ as an ultra-low power microprocessor in a
tiny footprint
-
The new
Cortex-M processors are backwards compatible with ARMv6-M and
ARMv7-M architectures for direct and fast porting, accelerating
product development
-
TrustZone
CryptoCell-312 fortifies the SoC with a rich set of security
features protecting the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of
code and data.
Fastest and lowest-risk path to market for SoCs based on ARMv8-M Silicon
design teams can reduce their time to market and target multiple IoT
applications with a new range of ARM system IP optimized for the latest
Cortex-M processors.
-
ARM
CoreLink SIE-200 is already licensed by ARM silicon partners and
provides the interconnects and controllers that extend TrustZone to
the system
-
ARM
CoreLink SSE-200 IoT subsystem reduces time to market by 6-12
months by integrating Cortex-M33, CryptoCell
and Cordio
radio along with software drivers, secure libraries, protocol
stack and mbed OS.
IoT connectivity without limits Connectivity is enhanced by
next-generation ARM
Cordio radio IP with Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4-based standards ZigBee (News - Alert)
and Thread. The specifications are the most popular, ultra-low power
radio standards used in IoT applications. Developers can choose from a
standard radio implementation across a range of process nodes from
multiple foundries. The Cordio architecture supports ARM and third-party
RF.
-
Next-generation Bluetooth 5 enables faster data rates and extends
ranges within existing ultra-low-power envelopes
-
802.15.4 helps to ensure compatibility within the expanding ZigBee and
Thread device market
-
Bluetooth and 802.15.4-based standards can be implemented individually
or together
-
Complete and qualified single-source solution from RF to stack, all
designed in conjunction with ARM processor and system IP.
First cloud-based SaaS (News - Alert) from ARM for secure IoT device management The
ARM mbed IoT Device Platform has been expanded to include mbed
Cloud, a new standards and cloud-based SaaS solution for secure IoT
device management. Through mbed Cloud, OEMs can:
-
Simplify connection, provisioning, updating and securing of devices
across complex networks
-
Enable faster scaling, productivity and time to market, allowing
developers to use any device on any cloud
-
Enhance device-side capabilities with mbed OS 5, supported by a global
community of 200,000 developers and more than 1 million device builds
per month.
Ease of implementation with IoT POP on TSMC 40ULP The
development and implementation of SoCs based on the latest Cortex-M
processors can be accelerated with Artisan
IoT POP IP now available for TSMC 40ULP process technology. ARM
Artisan IoT POP IP is vital in enabling low-power designs and optimizing
for IoT applications through:
-
Innovative logic and memory architecture features to maximize
performance while minimizing area and dynamic power
-
Silicon-proven physical IP that works seamlessly with Cortex-M33
-
Seamless integration with CoreLink SSE-200 IoT subsystem to ease the
challenge of implementing low-power designs

TechCon Newsroom. Resources include fact sheets, further technical
information, silicon and ecosystem partner quotes and press releases.
Additionally, the newsroom offers information on the latest software
models, developer
tools and knowledge
services in support of Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors.
