Wednesday, October 08, 2008:
ARM has announced the availability of its new Active Assist on-site service to meet ARM IP Partners’ demand for rapid IP deployment. Active Assist will help embedded system designers, implementers and programmers of ARM-based platforms to shorten their time-to-market by gaining the engineering expertise on ARM IP that is most relevant to their design project.

According to the company, the service will offer customers architectural design advice to ensure best practice techniques are adopted, thereby helping achieve optimal ARM subsystem design. In addition, project monitoring and proactive technical feedback during the lifecycle of the customer project will help to reduce time-to-market and increase design-in confidence for new ARM Partners.
"We are helping our partners help themselves," said Paul Elbro, VP and general manager, ARM Services. "The ARM Active Assist service aids engineering teams coming up to speed on ARM IP to benefit directly from our design expertise. We are in a unique position to offer this high value service to adopters of ARM processor-based technology."
Active Assist helps make engineering teams more effective on ARM IP through a range of customised deployment services, including: tailored training customised to project requirements; on-site design and flow auditing from dedicated ARM analysts to optimise the team set-up for ARM deployment; assistance on delivering high-performance, energy-efficient SoC implementations through the combination of ARM’s processor and Fabric IP in conjunction with ARM’s Physical IP portfolio of optimised cell libraries, memory compilers and interface products.
The customised deployment services also include regular correspondence through project monitoring to track milestones and ensure constant checking against ARM design techniques; technical design reviews before design sign-off; and assistance with test chip and debug environment set-up to get the prototyping environment up-and-running as fast as possible when first silicon is returned.
The customised deployment services offered within the ARM Active Assist service can be acquired in distinct service packages tailored to meet different project demands. These packages range from complete front-to-back project assistance from team set-up through architectural specification and design sign-off, to one-off engagements including assessment of project set-up, architectural design review, or on-site help with prototype board bring-up.
The ARM Active Assist service will be initially rolled out in 2008 in the US and Europe, with rollout to other world regions planned for 2009. Active Assist packages will initially be offered for the ARM7 processor family, ARM9 processor family, ARM11 processor family, MPCore multicore technology and Cortex family of processors, AMBA interconnect and Fabric IP, CoreSight on-chip debug and trace technology and the RealView debugger.
