ARM Single Board Computers

Founded:1990

Location:Cambridge, UK

ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) is a family of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architectures for computer processors. ARM processors are widely used in mobile devices, embedded systems, and increasingly in single-board computers due to their power efficiency and performance characteristics.
