EDA Weekend Reader – Mobile Unleashed

Mobile Unleashed – The Origin and Evolution of ARM Processors In Our Devices

Daniel Nenni & Don Dingee 2015

This is an excellent book detailing the origins of ARM, emerging from the Acorn Computer Company and the educational 6502 BBC Micro to the industry de-facto microprocessing power that exists in the majority of the smartphones around the world. A fascinating read of the twists and turns that the ARM business endured with the various projects detailed – the people involved, the applications targeted, the CMOS technology size, clock frequencies incorporated, even the transistors counts.

How each ARM architecture has evolved is also detailed – caching, pipelining, AMBA, and so on.

Coincidentally, I started computer programming at school in the 1980s and it was on a BBC Micro. It’s where it all began for me too!

A great read over the weekend.
