=== <br />Introduction ===
 
ARM is the dominant processor architecture in mobile and embedded devices. The CPU architectures are developed by [https://www.arm.com ARM Ltd.] and licensed by various hardware manufacturers for use in processor design. Plenty of ARM-based processor models are available on the market, ranging from special-purpose microcontrollers to generic computing with support for consumer operating systems. The price-performance ratio and broad availability makes ARM processors ideal for use in hobbyist electronics projects.

=== History ===
== Armv7-M Programming Model ==
The initial ARM processor architecture was developed in the mid-1980s by the British computer manufacturer Acorn Computers with the goal of creating an auxiliary processor for a business computer product. The acronym ARM stands for <u>A</u>corn <u>R</u>ISC <u>M</u>achine. ARM Ltd. was founded as a joint venture with the U.S. computer manufacturer Apple with the goal of developing an improved architecture that could be used for the main processor of a computer.
This is the programming model used in Cortex-M processors with higher performance. For example, Cortex-M4.

=== Cross-Compiling ===
If your operating system is Ubuntu Linux, running on an x64/AMD64 processor, you need the following package to ''cross-compile'' code to run on ARM Cortex series processors:
<pre class="terminal">
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
</pre>
<br />
<br />


==== CMSIS ====
== CMSIS ==
Arm specifies a standard C interface for programming Cortex-M processors, the '''C'''ortex-'''M''' '''S'''tandard '''I'''nterface (CMSIS). The Arm licensees are strongly encouraged to provide the CMSIS functions as part of their microcontroller programming SDK. Third-party software libraries usually rely on CMSIS availability.
