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.

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's Agentic AI Push: What Indian Embedded Teams Can Actually Use Today
Arm has set out its platform strategy for the agentic era, putting inference everywhere it has compute. Indian embedded teams can start on that direction this quarter with the Cortex-M toolchain they already own: Helium, CMSIS-NN, Ethos-U and Vela, on boards you can order today.
Arm User-Based Licensing in CI/CD: armlm, Proxy Activation and What Breaks
A licensing failure in an Arm pipeline blocks the release branch and puts a firmware engineer on armlm output instead of driver code, up to seven days after the change that caused it. The reason: a UBL licence is a cached certificate valid for 7 days, not a checkout. Here is what that changes about pipeline design, and what to fix first.
