    COVER STORY Standards & Services for ARM-based developments: The faster way to application-ready ARM platforms Special Features Industrial Computing Small Form Factor Boards Tools & Software VIEWPOINT Dear Reader, For a long time x86 processors was the dominant technology for em- bedded computing. But nowadays more and more ARM based micro- controllers are launched and be- come an useful alternative. The ad- vantage of ARM based multicore MCUs is their high performance at extremely low power which allows using it in mobile applications. Our cover story starting at page 12 de- scribes that small form factor boards and systems featuring ARM MCUs can be found already in the area of graphical user interfaces with touch-screen control, where upgrades from simple line displays to full graphic support are being carried out while using a minimum of power, or migration from x86 platforms to ARM is taking place. The extremely low energy consumption of the processors, which is around two to three watts, makes it possible to reduce the effort needed for a passive cooling solution to an absolute minimum, enabling developers to design very compact, flat/slim and above all portable devices, having a battery runtime which surpasses that of x86 systems to date. Application areas for mobile applications in harsh environments can be found, for example, in courier and parcel services, in machines maintained by service personnel, and equipment or in medical emergency services. All these applications profit from the advantages of a compact, power-saving technology as well as from the comfortable programmability of these processors on the basis of standard operating systems i.e.
