Intel, Arm To Collaborate On Iot

WoT?
They are sworn enemies. Incompatible architectures, your mama dresses yous funny jibe-throwers.
Nah, non really, friendly rivals, maybe.

From Electrical Engineering Times:

SAN FRANCISCO — Intel in addition to Arm announced a strategic partnership that aims to eliminate a major barrier to IoT deployment, reducing the complexity associated amongst the onboarding procedure for IoT devices in addition to enabling customers to lead their onboarding systems without beingness locked into a unmarried device architecture or unmarried cloud provider’s provisioning method.

The companies said that the partnership aims to extend the capability of Intel’s Secure Device Onboard onboarding service to include Arm devices. The collaboration volition besides enable Arm’s Pelion IoT Platform to onboard in addition to cope x86 platforms inwards improver to Arm-based IoT devices in addition to gateways, they said.

Collaboration betwixt the ii only about prevalent semiconductor architectures could hold out an of import pace toward reducing bottlenecks to the wide-scale deployment of IoT — lack of interoperability, standards, in addition to mutual technologies.

“Arm in addition to Intel convey a lot to gain past times working together on IoT, in addition to it’s skilful to run across every bit the ii of them agree many of the keys to widespread adoption,” said Patrick Moorhead, president in addition to main analyst at Moor Insights in addition to Strategy, inwards an e-mail central amongst EE Times.

“Intel in addition to Arm are simplifying ane of IoT’s only about complex in addition to challenging barriers amongst watch to streamlining the manufacturing in addition to safety deployment workflows for IoT,” said Michela Menting, a manager at ABI Research, inwards a populace statement.

Jim McGregor, main analyst at Tirias Research, said inwards an e-mail central amongst EE Times that the collaboration appears to hold out to a greater extent than of an seek from Arm than Intel, arising from companies that Arm has acquired, which McGregor said he assumes were working amongst Intel or on Intel platforms previously....MORE
