SystemReady Certified Devices Guide

CC BY-SA 4.0

This repository hosts a series of guides on how to setup devices that are Arm SystemReady certified and their firmware.

The Arm SystemReady program is a foundational compliance certification program to ensure software "just works" across a vibrant, diverse ecosystem of hardware. It builds on the former ServerReady program, setting the standards for a broader set of devices for the server, infrastructure edge and IoT edge sectors.

There are four main bands of SystemReady: SR - ServerReady, ES - Embedded Server, IR - IoT, and LS - LinuxBoot Server. These bands are based on combinations or recipes from the Base System Architecture (BSA), supplements such as the Server Base System Architecture (SBSA), and the Base Boot Requirements (BBR) specifications.
