Microchip has announced its first 64bit processors, picking the RISC-V instruction set for the initial parts: an octa-core for space and a industrial quad-core. Although, “future PIC64 families will include devices based on RISC-V or Arm architectures”, said the company. PIC64-HPSC is the family name of the space processors, which have come out of a 2022 deal with NASA to ...

Renesas Electronics has introduced a 64bit MCU for 5G IoT edge devices and Gigabit Wi-Fi 7 gateways, part of its RZ/G Series. RZ/G3S can stand-by for 10µW, run Linux, and provides a PCI Express interface “that enables high-speed connectivity with 5G wireless modules”, said the company. “Additionally, the device boasts enhanced security features such as tamper detection to ensure data ...

Segger has added an Arm64 instruction set simulator to its latest version of its Embedded Studio integrated development environment. This follows the recently added compiler, linker, and runtime support for Arm64, which made it possible to generate and debug Arm64 programs. “Due to its complexity, Arm64 was the first architecture we ever introduced that did not have a simulator from ...

Segger has added support for 64bit ARMv8-A (AArch64) cores to its Embedded Studio IDE (integrated development environment), now covering Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72, for example. “We see a migration to 64bit cores, even for a typical embedded application, simply because many modern SoCs and FPGAs use them,” said Segger MD Ivo Geilenbruegge. Embedded Studio includes tools and features for professional ...

ST is offering SESIP Level 3 security certification in 64bit microprocessors aimed at industry-4.0, with industrial interfaces and edge AI acceleration. Called the STM32MP2 series, these are the first 64bit STM32 ICs (all before are 32bit), and the first of this series will be the STM32MP25, available with single or dual 1.5GHz 64bit Arm Cortex-A35 cores (up to 6,000 DMIPS), ...

Arm has announced its first 64bit, Linux-capable Cortex-R processor, designed for computational storage solutions. Called the Cortex-R82, it is a successor to the 32bit Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R8 processors used in solid-state drives. “These systems have historically required less then 4Gbyte of DRAM and addressable space, and have not had a need to run Linux,” according to the company. “With continually increasing ...

ARM has extended its 64-bit architecture into power-constrained embedded applications such as single-board computers and automotive with the Cortex-A35. ARM says thst the A35 is “the most efficient Cortex-A class CPU ever designed by ARM.” It delivers an average of 20% greater performance and efficiency across a range of 32-bit mobile workloads relative to Cortex-A7 while consuming less than 90mW ...

Is the ARM 64-bit v8-A processor architecture gaining traction in the market? UK-based development tool firm Undo believes it is and it has created a version of its novel debug too for the ARM 64-bit architecture. The debug tool will be demonstrated at ARM TechCon when it takes place in Santa Clara, California on 10-12 November. “Porting code across architecture ...

Imagination Technologies has released the first complete 64-bit MIPS core for many years. Although the MIPS64 instruction set has been licensed in the past, it is less common for the complete core to be licensed in RTL form. Remarkably, the 64-bit core will be half-way down the firm’s performance range – and will be the first of its I-Class Warrior ...

At this year’s ISSCC, Holst Centre has presented a plastic 64-bit inductively-coupled passive RFID tag operating at 13.56MHz. According to the organisation, it claims a record 780bit/s data readout of 64 bits over 10cm and that the tag generates a 5-fold higher bit rate compared to state-of-the-art plastic RFID systems. Holst Centre – which was founded by the Belgian nanoelectronics research ...
