But even with a modern microcontroller it’s still a significant challenge, so [Nicola Wrachien]’s uChip, a VGA console that does the whole job in software on a humble ARM Cortex M0 is a ...

The Cortex-M0+ processor builds on the very successful Cortex-M0 processor, retaining full instruction set and tool compatibility, while further reducing energy consumption and increasing performance.

ARM has introduced its smallest Cortex processor yet. At 12,000 gates, the firm sees the Cortex-M0 displacing 8 and 16bit processors in low-power applications, particularly where protocol stacks are ...

This is enabled by the powerful Cortex-M0 v6-M instruction set which is built on a fundamental base of 16-bit Thumb instructions unique to 32-bit microcontrollers today. With over 45 DMIPS of ...
