ARM Partnership

15+ Years in the ARM Ecosystem


Future Designs, Inc. has been a member of the ARM Connected Community since 2009, when FDI joined what was then a network of over 525 companies aligned around ARM technology. The Connected Community is the industry’s largest ecosystem of ARM technology-based products and services, bringing together companies to provide the most complete solutions in the shortest possible time. Today that ecosystem has grown into the Arm Developer Program, a global community giving members access to tools, learning, on-demand labs, and expert support to build, optimize, and scale software on Arm.

ARM Cortex-M — The Core of Every uEZ GUI Module

FDI’s entire uEZ GUI product family runs on industry-standard ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers as part of the uEZ® / FreeRTOS software platform. This shared architecture across NXP, ST, Renesas, and other silicon partners lets FDI’s engineers reuse application code and design patterns across a wide range of customer projects, rather than re-learning a new instruction set for every design.

Design Services — Custom ARM-Based Platforms

Beyond off-the-shelf kits, FDI offers full hardware and software design services to customize any ARM-based platform for a customer’s unique application, with production volumes as low as 500 units. This flexibility, combined with FDI’s decades of embedded design experience, lets customers get ARM-powered products to market faster without building an in-house ARM design team.

Arm Developer Program — Tools, Training, and Direct Access to Arm Experts

As part of the broader Arm ecosystem, FDI’s engineering team can draw on the Arm Developer Program’s personalized dashboard, hands-on labs, and guided courses, along with direct help from Arm engineers, Ambassadors, and peers through Discord and technical support forums. This keeps FDI’s team current on new Arm tools, SDKs, and architecture updates as they roll out.

Community and Peer Networking — One-Stop Solutions for Customers

Membership connects FDI with the wider ARM ecosystem of technology-based products and services, giving FDI’s customers a proven partner in a network built around delivering complete, end-to-end solutions — from initial design through manufacturing.
