  • Synchronization
    • This module describes the mechanism in the Armv8-M architecture to to share resources like peripherals between different threads and processors in an M-profile system.
  • Cache Management
    • This module is aimed to be a top-level module on caches for M-profile systems that covers fundamental cache terminology all the way through to configuring and utilising the cache for improved performance in M-profile systems involving more complex implementations like Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M55.
  • DSP Extension
    • The DSP Extension is an optional feature for Armv8-M Mainline implementations that allows allows DSP operations to be executed by a dedicated instructions.

  • SysTick Timer Extension
    • This module is about the SysTick Timer, which is mandatory in Armv7-M and Armv8-M Mainline implementations, and optional in Armv6-M and Armv8-M Baseline implementations.
  • Security Extension (TrustZone for Arm8-M)
    • This module is about the optional Security Extension in Armv8-M Mainline implementations. The Security Extension is also an option for Armv8-M Baseline implementations.
  • PACBTI Extension
    • This module describes the Pointer Authentication Code (PAC) and Branch Target Identification (BTI) Extension introduced as a part of Armv8.1-M architecture.
  • M-profile Vector Extension (MVE)
    • This module is an essential foundation module for MVE training course. It introduces the story, architecture features, software and tools support for MVE.
