ARM architecture Flashcards
where can arm architecture be found
in small devices eg mobile phones, in cars, in factories and plants
three types of arm architecture
cortex A processors, Cortex R processors and Cortex M processors
applications of Cortex A processors
performance sensitive systems eg phones, laptops
applications of Cortex R systems
high performance cores for real time applications eg hard disk controllers
applications of Cortex M systems
microcontroller cores for a wide range of embedded applications eg. cost and energy efficiency
what does arm BASED mean
much of the functionality of the device is fabricated into the chip itself rather than built around in separate processors
what does RISC stand for
reduced instruction set computing
What does CISC stand for
complex instruction set computing
does arm make their designs
no, only sells them
what is an embedded system
small computers embedded in the world around us
