Programming standards in the Armv8-M architecture provide common rules and software interfaces that allow embedded applications, compilers, libraries, operating systems, and development tools to interact predictably with Cortex-M processors. Rather than every compiler or microcontroller vendor defining its own conventions, Arm standards establish consistent approaches for procedure calls, data organization, stack usage, register handling, and…
