Hello

This video is from the Australian Linuxconf 2017 and provides a reasonably detailed overview of the ARM architecture, its Linux support and the ecosystem.

If you're interested in understanding more about the ARM ecosystem, it's worth a watch.

Thanks for the link. I remember watching that video some time ago. I didn't fully grasp all the details. It was helpful to watch it again after having more experience working with arm technology. The most interesting part was the explanation between the different SoCs and their design.

arm I think is not fully open as Intel. I tried to find .PDF on BUS and VIDEO and they (android.com?) asked me for money.

ARM is a British company based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, which was founded on 27 November 1990 as "Advanced RISC Machines Ltd". The company changed its name to "ARM Holdings" in 1998.

ARM Holdings was bought by Saudi-backed Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group (founded by Masayoshi Son, Minato City, Tokyo, Japan in 1981) who made an agreed offer to purchase ARM Holdings on 18 July 2016. The deal was completed on 5 September 2016.

Founded in April 2018, ARM China is the only authorised platform for ARM's intellectual property in China. ARM has transferred its stake in its rogue ARM China joint venture to an independent entity, enabling it to continue collecting licensing fees from Chinese companies but without requiring ARM China to open its books to potential ARM investors when the company IPOs in 2023. ARM China accounts for approx. one quarter of ARM's total revenue. But ARM China is not a fully-owned subsidiary of the parent company, but is a joint venture between ARM Ltd and a consortium of China-based investment funds.

So one could rightly assert that ARM is as much Chinese as 'Coca-Cola' or 'Macdonalds'.

As for the remainder of your postulations, I think going to bed was your best option there.
