Joseph Yiu ARM Cortex ASN Filter Designer DSP portrait

New book on Arm’s latest processors:  The Definitive Guide to Arm Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 Processors. The book is written by Joseph Yiu, Arm’s resident architecture guru. It features benchmarks and experiments with our DSP filter design tooling (ASN Filter Designer) using CMSIS-DSP for Arm’s latest processors

We’re proud that Dr. Sanjeev Sarpal, Director of AI at Advanced Solutions Nederland has provided support in the digital filter design topic. We’re also very pleased to announce that Joseph Yiu’s new book features a chapter on the ASN Filter Designer for AI/IoT applications using the M23 and M33 Cortex-M cores. Advanced Solutions Nederland works closely with Arm’s DSP/architecture team for AI/DSP solutions using their cores. We’re currently working with Arm on releasing whitepapers on the Cortex-M55.

Armv8-M architecture and its features

The Definitive Guide to Arm® Cortex®-M23 and Cortex-M33 Processors focuses on the Armv8-M architecture and the features that are available in the Cortex-M23 and Cortex- M33 processors.

This book covers a range of topics, including:

  • the instruction set
  • the programmer’s model
  • interrupt handling
  • OS support
  • debug features

It demonstrates how to create software for the Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors by way of a range of examples. This enables embedded software developers to understand the Armv8-M architecture.

Worked out examples with ASN Filter Designer

Joseph Yiu’s new book features a chapter on the ASN Filter Designer for AI/IoT applications using the M23 and M33 Cortex-M cores. Our Director of AI, Dr. Sanjeev Sarpal, has provided support.

“The ASN Filter Designer Professional software supports a wide range of filter types. Its design allows filters to be designed via an interactive user interface, where various parameters can be adjusted and the design’s output can immediately be viewed. It also supports the simulation of the filter’s response so that the simulation outputs can be examined to determine whether the filter meets the requirements of the application. An added bonus, for developers creating software for Cortex-M processors, is that it generates C code that directly call CMSIS-DSP library functions (the designed filters can also be exported to C/C++, Python, Matlab, etc.).”

“A number of commercial filter-design software tools are designed specifically for filter-design tasks and make it easier tot analyze a filters’ characteristics. For software developers who are not familiar with filter designs, these tools can be a great help” (p. 820). Thereby, Joseph Yiu uses the ASN Filter Designer for worked out examples. He creates a low pass biquad filter for a system with 48kHz sampling rate and with single-precision floating-point data type.
