ARM Microprocessors (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
You can use Windows Embedded Compact to build devices that use an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) microprocessor.
The ARM microprocessor provides solutions for the following.
- Open hardware platforms that run complex operating systems with wireless, consumer, and imaging applications.
- Embedded, real-time systems for mass storage, automotive, industrial, and networking applications.
- Smart cards and Single Inline Memory (SIM) modules.
The ARM instruction set architecture (ISA) includes several technology extensions, such as Thumb technology, that enable optimum functionality and performance.
Windows Embedded Compact 7 supports ARM-licensed technologies for architecture v5, v6, v6 MP, and v7.
