ARM has disclosed technical details of its new ARMv7 architecture at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco The new ARMv7 architecture defines three distinct processor profiles: the A profile for sophisticated, virtual memory-based OS and user applications; the R profile for real-time systems; and the M profile optimised for microcontroller and low-cost applications

New processors compliant with the ARMv7 architecture will enable systems designers to intelligently match the CPU to their chosen application target, optimising performance, power consumption, code size, and silicon cost.

ARM is working with key members of the ARM Connected Community to ensure broad support for the ARMv7 architecture.

This programme embraces operating systems, third-party tools and EDA vendors, including Cadence, Green Hills, IAR, Lauterbach, MontaVista, Synopsys and Wind River.
