"The different architecture profiles and version numbers are written as Armv8-A, Armv7-R, Armv6-M. A, R and M refer

to the relevant architecture profiles and 6, 7 and 8 refer to the different versions of the architecture."

A-Profile: Optimized for high-level operating systems.

R-Profile: Optimized for real-time high-performance applications.

M-Profile: Optimized for discrete processing and microcontrollers.
