The "
internet of things" is quite the buzzed about phenomena these days and everyone wants in on the action. But, much of the hype so far has been associated with that DIY staple, the
Arduino, and its admittedly under-powered 8-bit MCU. ARM is looking to put more power at developers fingertips, though, with the Cortex-M0+, an ultra low-power processor designed for embedded applications. The 32-bit chip is based on the existing
M0, but with significant tweaks that greatly improve performance while keeping power draw to a minimum.
Freescale and
NXP should be first out the box with licensed processors and, while we wouldn't anticipate these showing up in a refrigerator or
printer just yet, we wouldn't be shocked if they drew some interest from hobbyists. Check out the complete PR after the break.
