Platform designs pull together CPU and system architectures into a platform definition that large bodies of software, such as operating systems, can rely on. Reducing the cost of ownership of software in the Arm ecosystem and helping the Arm ecosystem scale.
Arm platform designs target different systems and markets, including servers and networking (infrastructure), embedded and automotive, mobile computing, and IoT devices.
The links on this page provide more guidance on what is required when designing specific systems, including embedded products, automotive applications, mobile, and IoT devices. Arm provides the Base System Architectures (BSA) that define the hardware product requirements for specific markets, developed through our partner ecosystem. Arm platform design architectures offer many benefits, including accelerated development of products, the incorporation of best practice, and an interoperable ecosystem.
The Base System Architecturesare made up of various hardware and software components. To find out more about the system components, see here.
For system-specific architectures, choose from the following systems and markets:
