Everyone's a Winner says ARM, Freescale and Samsung as BBC Gives Away a Million Free micro:bits to Schools

 

07 July 2015

Cambridge, UK, July 7, 2015 - ARM, Freescale and Samsung welcome the full technical launch of the BBC micro:bit pocket computer that will be given to all Year 7 children in the UK in the Autumn. The companies have supported the project from concept to reality in close partnership with the BBC's engineering teams. Find more detail on today's announcement in the BBC media centre.

 

Simon Segars, CEO ARM: "Technology is now as much a part of childhood as riding a bicycle or kicking a football but going from user to innovator is something we still need to encourage. The BBC and Acorn Computers, where ARM® technology was first created, came together 35 years ago to develop the BBC Micro and that inspired the engineers now at the forefront of shaping our increasingly connected world. The new BBC micro:bit has even greater potential because it can inspire boys and girls toward a career in technology at a time of unprecedented demand for science and engineering skills across all areas of the global economy."

 

Geoff Lees, Senior Vice President of Microcontrollers at Freescale® Semiconductor: "The Internet of Tomorrow is bringing almost limitless possibility to interact with the world around us and the new BBC micro:bit with its unique ability to detect and measure both movement and direction, as well as sensing location and surroundings, should truly encourage more young people to get involved and to experiment and create in the digital world. The BBC Make it Digital initiative is set to play a critical role in helping to unleash imagination and creativity within the next generation technology innovators and visionaries of tomorrow, and this aligns perfectly with our own commitment to world-class education in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)."

 

Andy Griffiths, President of Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland: "At Samsung, we're very excited to bring the micro:bit to life with the BBC. Our engineers are enabling the micro:bit to communicate with everyday digital devices such as phones and tablets to allow young people to code inside and outside of the classroom. It's a great way to showcase the capabilities of this technology and we're looking forward to seeing how creative people can get with coding, whether that's programming their micro:bit to take a 'selfie' via their phone camera or coding it to flash when they get an incoming call, the possibilities are limitless."

Notes to Editors:

 

ARM

 

The BBC micro:bit was created using the ARM mbed™ hardware and software development kits (HDK and SDK) and compiler services. The project builds on the organisation's collaboration on the original 1981 BBC Microcomputer.

 

ARM mbed software enables Lancaster University's micro:bit runtime solution and the Microsoft programming interface sits on top of mbed's professional-grade cloud compiler service, converting users' programmes into micro:bit code. These files are 'flashed' onto the device over USB or BLE for the board to run. The ARM mbed developer tools (developer.mbed.org) are available for students to take their microbit experience to the next level to develop low level programming skills.

 

Freescale

 

Freescale is responsible for supplying the accelerometer, the magnetometer, and the Micro-USB controller.

 

Freescale have worked on the hardware of the micro:bit. They have provided the Kinetis KL26 microcontroller that manages the micro:bit's USB connection. This allows the users to connect the micro:bit to their computers. Once connected the micro:bit will appear in a similar way to a usb drive. Users can then drag their compiled code file onto the micro:bit and run it.

 

Freescale have also provided the accelerometer and magnetometer motion sensors that enable the micro:bit to react to motion and the direction it's facing. These will allow children to create exciting new applications based on position and whether they shake, turn or tilt their micro:bit.

Samsung

 

Samsung is connecting the micro:bit to phones and tablets, so that they are able to communicate with each other. By enabling the micro:bit to tap into the functions of our everyday digital devices, it opens up a limitless possibility of imaginative uses. For example, young people could code their micro:bit to launch their phone camera remotely to take a 'selfie' at the push of a button or they could code their micro:bit to act as a remote control to play music on their phone.

 

Samsung will also publish an app that will support the micro:bit coding environment from mobile devices, allowing young people to program on-the-go.

 

Developing student projects and teacher resources for the micro:bit, Samsung will help introduce the Internet of Things and the future of connected technologies into the classroom.

Three Weeks to go in the World's Most Inclusive Tech Design Challenge set by UNICEF, ARM and frog

 

14 July 2015

 

Wearables for Good design challenge attracts over 600 registrations so far

 

#WearablesForGood

 

London/New York, July 14, 2015 - The Wearables for Good design challenge is rapidly turning into one of the most inclusive global technology races ever, attracting more than 600 registrations so far from Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and North and South America all vying for two winning places. With the entry deadline approaching rapidly (Aug. 4), the Wearables for Good challenge website is seeing 5,000 page views per week with browsers' ages ranging from 18 to 60 years-old and a fairly even split between male and female. The challenge, coordinated by UNICEF, ARM and frog, tasks entrants with creating ideas for new and innovative wearable devices that tackle issues such as maternal and child health needs in emerging economies.

 

Regions involved include:

 

·Africa: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe

·Asia: China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, South Korea, Vietnam

·Europe: UK, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain

·North America: US, Canada

·South America: Brazil

 

"It is not too late to enter - we are looking for concepts that address these global issues, not final designs," said Erica Kochi, co-lead and co-founder of UNICEF Innovation. "We set up the challenge this way to make participation widely available to anyone with a good idea. The challenge itself is unique among open tech challenges both in its global reach and with the focus on creating products to save lives, help educate young people or advance their communities in some way."

 

"The Wearables design challenge was set to encourage a diverse group of people to create ideas for new technologies that solve a social problem," said Simon Segars, CEO, ARM. "The broad spread of people registering tells us we are succeeding. This is hugely encouraging as conceiving technologies that tackle issues such as child health and education, especially in the emerging world, demands the attention of people with an array of life and professional experience."

 

"We are excited to see submissions—and expressions of interest—coming from the geographies where these solutions will bring the most value and deliver the highest impact," said Fabio Sergio, vice president of Creative, frog. "This challenge offers an opportunity for local innovators to submit ideas and concepts that draw on their inherent sensitivity to the needs and aspirations of the people they are trying to help."

The applications will be reviewed by a panel of technology, design and humanitarian experts from August 4, with ten finalists shortlisted. The competition panel will assess entries on several levels including product and service design that disrupts or improves the status quo, sustainability of technology and potential impact at scale.

 

The 'Use Case Handbook', created by UNICEF and frog, guides the entrants and helps them structure their ideas. The handbook outlines the challenges that need to be addressed, as well as considerations, context and principles for good design.

 

Those ten finalists will receive about a month of coaching and mentoring to refine and resubmit their ideas. Out of the ten finalists, two winners will be selected at the end of the design challenge. Each winner will receive $15,000 funding alongside incubation and mentorship support from UNICEF, ARM and frog.

New global initiative to create a sustainable educational ecosystem giving engineering students access to diverse, rigorous and low-cost teaching materials.

 

Cambridge, UK, July 27, 2015 - ARM has launched a new university alliance partnership that allows industry partners to develop high quality teaching materials based on their own technologies for engineering students around the world. The hardware and software kits will be centered around ARM teaching materials and will offer the most up-to-date professional-standard platforms and tools. The program will launch through partnerships with leading Chinese technology companies Beijing Chukong Technology Co. Ltd, the company behind Cocos2d/Cocos3d, one of the top global games engines, and GigaDevice Semiconductor (Beijing) Inc.

 

"This new initiative will give universities expanded access to diverse, low-cost hardware, industry-standard software tools and academically rigorous educational materials," said Khaled Benkrid, manager, Worldwide University Program, ARM. "It builds on our well-established teaching tools program but significantly enhances the range of technologies and expertise the universities will get access to. We believe this to be a necessary step as educational establishments all around the world try to cope with increasingly diverse student populations and industry demands."

 

This unique model will see the ARM® University Program developing core teaching materials which industry partners can easily tailor toward their own technologies. By utilizing the ARM ecosystem, the initiative will provide universities with sustainable access to diverse, low-cost, and high quality educational kits. This is a vital step to support academics as the pace of technological change exceeds their ability to keep up, especially given the pressures of balancing teaching with research.

 

The new alliance model will also anticipate future industry trends as the creation of teaching materials becomes an on-going collaborative enterprise across the ARM ecosystem. This will result in the production of regularly updated curricula that will allow students to maintain currency with state-of-the-art technologies. Ultimately, this will help resolve the ever-growing demand placed upon academia to produce workplace-ready graduates.

 

The first public members of the ARM University Program Alliance partnership are GigaDevice Semiconductor (Beijing) Inc. and Beijing Chukong Technology Co. Ltd with additional worldwide partners to follow.

 

"Our mobile game development industry is growing at a huge rate. Students and developers need to be exposed to the underlying technologies," said Zhiyuan Li, education director, Chukong Technology. "By being a part of this exciting ARM initiative, we will be able to utilize markets and resources beyond our own to train the next generation of mobile game developers worldwide."

ARM Expands IoT Security Capability with Acquisition of Sansa Security

 

30 July 2015

Acquisition will offer hardware and software-based security features, boosting protection for sensitive data and content on any connected device

 

ARM, Cambridge, U.K, July 30, 2015 - ARM has acquired Israel-based Sansa Security, a provider of hardware security IP and software for advanced system-on-chip components deployed in Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices. The company currently enables security in more than 150 million products a year and Sansa Security technology is deployed across a range of smart connected devices and enterprise systems. The deal complements the ARM security portfolio, including ARM® TrustZone® technology and SecurCore® processor IP. Terms have not been disclosed.

 

"Any connected device could be a target for a malicious attack so we must embed security at every potential attack point," said Mike Muller, CTO, ARM. "Protection against hackers works best when it is multi-layered, so we are extending our security technology capability into hardware subsystems and trusted software. This means our partners will be able to license a comprehensive security suite from a single source."

 

Sansa Security technology makes it easier for manufacturers to build secure products by offering a complete hardware subsystem that adds additional isolation of security operations from the main application processor. This is complemented by software components operating on top of trusted execution environments to perform security-sensitive operations. The acquisition builds upon ARM's embedded TrustZone technology, creating extra protection against malware and malicious software. It is a system-wide approach that underpins security-related chipset and trusted software needs. This enables the protection of any connected device and management of sensitive data and content.

 

"Our technology is already being used to protect data gathered and transmitted by a multitude of IoT and mobile devices," said Coby Sella, CEO, Sansa Security. "Joining ARM will enable us to scale the business by helping ARM's global technology partners to address their most pressing security needs. Aligning what we do with the world's leading IP company, allows us to develop our products and capability to new levels."
