The ARM architecture has opened up many new apps and design tools and building blocks for embedded developers. It's also forced them to look closely at existing 8-/16-bit MCU designs to see if it is time to shift to its more flexible 32-bit architecture.

Mark Ainsworth and Ranith M of Cypress Semiconductor provide guidelines on porting applications from an 8- or 16-bit CPU to a 32-bit CPU.

A novel architecture for baseband processing that combines ARM’s Cortex A57 processor with a real-time, reconfigurable modem processing unit (MPU).

An analysis of typical wireless sensor network designs that compares the power and performance trade-offs between the Cortex-M3 versus 8-16 bit microcontrollers in a variety of resource constrained Internet of Things environments.

The basics of ARM-based application development using the open source mbed integrated development environment.
