Welcome to SoC Labs. I would like to share my first journey in using the Arm Academic Access (AAA) IP. In this post, I hope to show,  how to register, how to connect Arm servers and what may be useful to download as the first steps. You may find some of the screenshots useful. Here is a quick review: 

Arm Academic Access (AAA) adds some extra development environment requirements but is also an opportunity to take fresh look at how you support your hardware development activities. At the University of Southampton we had systems in place to support our Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for education and research but AAA allowed us to put in place an improved environment for sharing among the team.

Dr Basel Halak, National Teaching Fellow and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, presents an in depth tutorial on the implementation of Physically Unclonable Functions and their applications in security of hardware devices.

To realize the scale of device deployments as envisioned by the Internet of Things (IoT), we inevitably face the issue of how these numerous “Things” are to be powered. In the case of many smart appliances, for example your Philips Hue bulbs or Amazon Echo Dot, this is a non-issue since these devices are connected to mains power. The same may be said for battery-powered appliances, such as smart watches and fitness bands, where recharging or replacing a battery is easy and convenient.

Tim Daulby has won an award for presenting his work on intermittent computing at ENSsys 2020, the 8th International Workshop on Energy Harvesting & Energy-Neutral Sensing Systems.

Tim's paper, entitled ''Exploring NVM technologies through the lens of intermittent computation'', evaluated emerging non-volatile memory technologies across a number of metrics. It explored their impact on the design of intermittent computing devices.
