ARM Profile since Qseven Specification 1.2

Rapid Market adoption of Qseven triggered strong interest for

Several ARM based “Qseven” Products on the Market

Specification 1.2 and 2.0 clearly define Qseven with ARM processors

Extension of Specification fully compatible for existing modules ARM Profile allows some interfaces not to be mandatory for ARM-based modules

Features Extension with ARM/RISC profile Some x86 specific interfaces not mandatory anymore CAN support added

Qseven: x86 meets ARM
