System Architecture Standards from Arm-based Servers to PCs

This conference talk explores how Arm Base System Architecture (BSA) and the SBBR recipe in Arm Base Boot Requirements (BBR) create the hardware and firmware foundation for generic operating systems to install and boot on compliant systems without customization. Discover the additional hardware requirements needed for standard software support, as well as further hardware and firmware standardization required for power and thermal management in laptops. Learn about the efforts in PC BSA supplement and SBBR extensions necessary for Arm-based PCs, along with the roadmap for future developments in this 26-minute presentation from Linaro.
