    "excerpt": "PLEASANTON, Calif. , Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alif Semiconductor today announced that Alif has licensed Arm® Keil® MDK to provide Alif's customers with professional software development tools for the Alif Ensemble® and Balletto® families of Arm-based microcontrollers and fusion processors. The agreement gives Alif's customers access to the Keil MDK toolchain for embedded software development, debug, and optimization. Keil MDK provides an Arm-native development workflow for creating production software for IoT, machine learning, and embedded edge AI applications. Alif's Ensemble and Balletto families are designed for low-power edge AI and machine-learning workloads in battery-operated IoT devices. The family spans the B1 , E1C , E1, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, and E8 series , combining Arm-based 32-bit microcontrollers and fusion processors with integrated AI acceleration based on Arm Ethos™-U55 and Arm Ethos-U85 neural processing units. Support for Alif devices is available through the Arm Keil portal, including the Alif Semiconductor Device Family Pack , board support, middleware components, RTOS support, graphics libraries, and related CMSIS packs. This enables developers to start projects quickly, configure target hardware, integrate runtime software, and build optimized applications for Ensemble devices using Ethos-U NPU acceleration. The collaboration also supports broader...",
