Sparking IoT's Tomorrow

The promise of the IoT is clear: collect vast new sources of data to transform businesses, leveraging distributed compute and AI and ML in the process. But traditional development methods can’t support the immense scaling to come.

ROI can be expanded and time-to-market drastically accelerated for the entire value chain through a radical change in how systems are designed: Arm Total Solutions for IoT. This industry first brings together software and hardware in a simple, use case-specific package. Making these solutions available in the cloud brings modern development flows to IoT and gives software developers access ahead of silicon.

In the process, it transforms the economics of IoT:

• Arm Total Solutions for IoT provides a full-stack solution designed with specific use cases in mind.

• Powered by Arm Virtual Hardware, cloud software development begins immediately, before silicon production.

• Arm Corstone provides proven foundations delivering pre-designed, pre-verified, and pre-validated subsystems.

• The ecosystem initiative Project Centauri delivers software leverage and scale with defined standards.

Arm Total Solutions for IoT Roadmap
Arm is fully committed to a comprehensive solutions approach with the Total Solutions for IoT roadmap continuing to be rolled out over the coming months and years. The solutions will target new IoT use cases and support our latest IP. Expect more to come in the future. Meanwhile, you can get started with the foundational tools to transform your IoT development:• Arm Total Solution SDK based on Centauri is available for download: https://github.com/ARM-software/ATS-Keyword• Arm Virtual Hardware is available as an Amazon Machine Image, working with AWS we are offsetting initial infrastructure fees:

Why Does All of This Matter?

When we built this new approach, we established three core tenets we need to live by in order to give the IoT and embedded market what it needs:

First, Scale. We must enable scale. This means making it so that developers can focus on innovation, not on porting software from device to device.

Second, Acceleration. We must streamline the development process. This is all about accelerating time to market and simplifying how products are developed.

And finally, Leverage. We will need to leverage the ecosystem. We can’t do it alone – we’ll need to work with partners to reach millions of developers and OEMs.

The three pillars of Arm Total Solutions are designed with those core principles in mind – and as you’ve heard today, we’re continuing to invest in all three of these areas:

More Corstone designs, incorporating IP such as the Cortex-M85.
A broader Arm Virtual Hardware library that gives developers what they need.
A strong framework from which to drive adoption of standards across the ecosystem, and new software components to speed up innovation.

We’re extremely excited to have had so much engagement from our ecosystem since we first launched this radical approach to IoT design, along with the tools, technologies, and platforms our ecosystem needs to continue to innovate and scale IoT.
