1.1 ARM－Advanced RISC Machines
ARM- Advanced RISC Machines is thought to be a company name, can be considered to be a type known as the microprocessor, can be considered a technical name.
ARM company was established in Cambridge in 1991, It mainly sales mandate of chip design technology. At present, the technology used ARM Intellectual Property (IP) Core microprocessors, that is, we usually refer to as the ARM microprocessor, which cover the industrial control, and consumer electronic products, communications systems, network systems, wireless systems and other products market, Based on the ARM microprocessor technology application was about a 32-bit RISC microprocessor 75% above the share of the market, ARM technology is gradually infiltrated into our lives in various areas.
ARM company specializing in technology-based RISC chip design and development company, as a supplier of intellectual property rights, it should not be directly involved in the production of silicon chips Design permits through the assignment of cooperation from the production company of special chips, the world's major semiconductor manufacturers from the company to buy its ARM microprocessor design nuclear, According to different application areas, to add appropriate external circuit, thereby forming

1.1 ARM－Advanced RISC Machines
　 ARM（Advanced RISC Machines），既可以認(rèn)為是一個(gè)公司的名字，也可以認(rèn)為是對(duì)一類微處理器的通稱，還可以認(rèn)為是一種技術(shù)的名字。
　 1991年ARM公司成立于英國劍橋，主要出售芯片設(shè)計(jì)技術(shù)的授權(quán)。目前，采用ARM技術(shù)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)（IP）核的微處理器，即我們通常所說的ARM微處理器，已遍及工業(yè)控制、消費(fèi)類電子產(chǎn)品、通信系統(tǒng)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)、無線系統(tǒng)等各類產(chǎn)品市場(chǎng)，基于ARM技術(shù)的微處理器應(yīng)用約占據(jù)了32位RISC微處理器75％以上的市場(chǎng)份額，ARM技術(shù)正在逐步滲入到我們生活的各個(gè)方面。
　　ARM公司是專門從事基于RISC技術(shù)芯片設(shè)計(jì)開發(fā)的公司，作為知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)供應(yīng)商，本身不直接從事芯片生產(chǎn)，靠轉(zhuǎn)讓設(shè)計(jì)許可由合作公司生產(chǎn)各具特色的芯片，世界各大半導(dǎo)體生產(chǎn)商從ARM公司購買其設(shè)計(jì)的ARM微處理器核
根據(jù)各自不同的應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域，加入適當(dāng)?shù)耐鈬娐罚瑥亩纬勺约旱腁RM微處理器芯
，
1.2 片進(jìn)入市場(chǎng)。目前，全世界有幾十家大的半導(dǎo)體公司都使用ARM公司的授權(quán)，因此既使得ARM技術(shù)獲得更多的第三方工具、制造、軟件的支持，又使整個(gè)系統(tǒng)成本降低，使產(chǎn)品更容易進(jìn)入市場(chǎng)被消費(fèi)者所接受，更具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。
