The academic community will gain access to a click-through end-user licensing agreement to accelerate access to Arm IP. The IP will be available to professors within the Arm Cortex-A, -R and -M families, along with access to complete RGL subsystems and tools for use in research.
Arm is also developing an online community called Arm Research SoC Labs to help academics share their designs and gain feedback. More information is available at Arm’s website.
