Arm hardware and firmware standards are the foundational pillars for Arm servers, and a major reason for the early successes and continued investment and growth of this horizontally-integrated ecosystem. Non-server "Edge" systems, however, are still an embedded-style vertically-integrated market, which is getting in the way of massive adoption and proliferation of Edge/IoT Compute. So let's make the Edge systems standards compliant and start with the highest-volume and better known platform of them all - the Raspberry Pi! Let's teach the Pi how to boot off-the-shelf SBBR -compliant Linux, *BSDs and of course VMware ESXi-Arm and Microsoft Windows.
