Overview
About Arm Arduino Adapter

The Arm Arduino Adapter exposes Arduino Uno R3 shield headers on older Arm FPGA prototyping boards that route GPIO/SPI/I2C/UART through a generic expansion connector, primarily the V2M-MPS2+. The adapter maps the MPS2+ expansion pins to the Arduino shield pinout, letting teams reuse the Arduino sensor / display / motor-driver / radio shield ecosystem during Cortex-M firmware development on Arm’s FPGA prototyping platforms.
MPS3 and MPS4 already expose Arduino-compatible headers natively on the motherboard, so most Cortex-M Arduino-shield workflows on MPS3/MPS4 do not require this adapter. The adapter is most useful for MPS2+ users and for legacy projects that standardised on MPS2+ before MPS3/MPS4 were available.

| Use Cases | Sensor integration, display modules, communication shields on MPS2+ |
Why GSAS for Arduino Adapter
GSAS provides the Arm Arduino Adapter in India for teams running Arduino-shield-based prototyping on the MPS2+ FPGA board. For MPS3 and MPS4 users, we will route you to the native Arduino-compatible headers on the motherboard rather than recommend the adapter unnecessarily. Contact GSAS for pricing and bundled configurations.

Arm User-Based Licensing in CI/CD: armlm, Proxy Activation and What Breaks
A CI job under Arm User-Based Licensing does not check a licence out and check it back in. It reads a cached certificate that Arm's User Guide says 'is valid for 7 days'. That one difference explains most of what goes wrong in an embedded pipeline, and it is why Arm's own documentation points Continuous Integration workflows at proxy activation rather than at per-job activation against a licence server.
Two Arm Keil MDK Webinars This Summer: DevOps and Edge AI for Indian Cortex-M Teams
Arm is running two free live Keil MDK webinars this summer: DevOps with Keil MDK on 23 June and edge AI with ModelNova Fusion Studio on 21 July. What Cortex-M teams in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR should know, shared by GSAS, Arm's authorized partner in India.
AI Data Centers in India: Test, Measurement & Memory Boom
AI is a hardware supercycle. Every AI rack has to be designed, brought up, powered, fed with memory, and kept alive, and each of those is a test, measurement and memory problem. Here is the full engineering toolchain behind the AI data center, mapped to what Indian teams can buy today through GSAS.
