ARM^® software tools enable developers to get the best from their ARM technology-based systems. Whether implementing an ARM technology-based SoC, or writing software for an Application Specific Standard Product (ASSP) or embedded Microcontroller (MCU), ARM tools enable you to deliver the best solution with the highest performance and lowest power.

ARM tools are the industry standard for the ARM architecture and have been continually developed over a period of more than 20 years. In 2005 ARM acquired the Keil tools business adding new MCU tools to complement the portfolio, and in 2010 the launch of ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5™) introduced new development tools for ARM Linux and Android. ARM tools are developed together with ARM processor IP, and offer unique benefits:

• High Performance - used in the development of billions of products
• Reliable - co-developed and validated with the ARM IP
• Comprehensive - support ALL ARM architectures and features
• Roadmap – long term commitment to improvement, innovation and support

ARM designs the technology that lies at the heart of advanced digital products. ARM's comprehensive product offering includes 32-bit RISC microprocessors, graphics processors, video engines, enabling software, cell libraries, embedded memories, high-speed connectivity products, peripherals and development tools.

• ARM^® Development Suite 5 (DS-5™) Tools for ARM Linux and Android
• ARM RVDS™ suite, a complete end-to-end solution for software development supporting all ARM processors and ARM CoreSight™ debug technology.
• Target connection through DSTREAM™ and VSTREAM™ provide an interface between an ARM software debugger and CoreSight technology
• Virtual platform simulation with Fast Models
• Development Boards that are fully validated hardware platforms for early prototyping and development
