Arm SystemReady Compliance Program
Hardware vendors across the industry are under pressure to accelerate time to market, reduce total cost of ownership, and adapt to longer product lifecycles. A combination of regulation and changing customer behavior is extending the lifetime of devices, but the cost of maintaining multiple platforms is not viable. As hardware changes, operating systems need to remain compatible without modification.
Arm SystemReady is a compliance program that helps ensure the interoperability of an operating system on Arm-based hardware. Developers can build software once and deploy it on any compliant Arm-based chip. Arm SystemReady benefits the entire ecosystem as existing software can move through hardware generations and hardware providers can reach a broader addressable market.
Pre-Silicon Program
Arm SystemReady Pre-Silicon is a program to help silicon vendors achieve BSA compliance prior to taping out, in a well-defined and low-risk path to SystemReady. It provides tools (such as the pre-silicon BSA/SBSA compliance tests), and, above all, a framework with specific steps for silicon vendors to take to become BSA compliant.
