10 Intriguing Technologies from Arm TechCon

By Richard Quinnell, EETimes, Nov. 03, 2016 – SANTA CLARA, CA - While some of the biggest news out of last week's Arm TechCon centered on security for smaller IoT devices, plenty of other interesting technology was on display. Everything from SoC design IP to software agents for location services were represented. Here are ten of the interesting technologies I encountered while at the show.

Ada development coming to the IoT
AdaCore brought its development tools for the Ada programming language to the show, with a message for IoT developers: Ada is coming. "Our development tools have traditionally been used in the aerospace and defense industries," AdaCore's lead of business development Quentin Ochem told EE Times at the conference. "But we are expanding into IoT and automotive." Ochem explained that Ada may still have a poor reputation among many developers that stemmed from the early implementations, but these early problems are long resolved. Ada 2012, the most recent of three revisions since the original introduction of Ada, is a mature, standards-based language, Ochem noted.
