Arm Reference Platforms

Introduction

Arm produces open source software stacks for a variety of platforms, serving as a reference to help enable product development based on Arm IP for a range of target markets and applications.

We use these software stacks to demonstrate:

  • Integration of multiple open source software components, including firmware, operating systems, applications, and services.

  • Upstream support for configuring the latest Arm IP.

  • Software features including secure services and power management.

  • Alignment with Arm specifications and open source community initiatives.

Neoverse N1 Software Development Platform

Neoverse N1 SDP is an infrastructure segment development platform available for licensing to Arm partners. The platform supports a reference open-source software stack based on Trusted Firmware-A, SCP-firmware, EDK II UEFI, GRUB, Linux, and user-space components. Supporting code is available either directly in the relevant upstream projects, or VIA public-facing git repositories.

The software release supports Linux stable kernel booting Ubuntu server distribution or an optional minimal BusyBox filesystem.

Please follow the user guide to sync, build, and run the software stack on the N1SDP.

More details are available in the following Neoverse N1 SDP getting started guide.
