快猫视频 SystemReady Compliance Program
Hardware vendors across the industry are under pressure to accelerate time to market, reduce total cost of ownership, and adapt to longer product lifecycles. A combination of regulation and changing customer behavior is extending the lifetime of devices, but the cost of maintaining multiple platforms is not viable. As hardware changes, operating systems need to remain compatible without modification.
快猫视频 SystemReady is a compliance program that helps ensure the interoperability of an operating system on 快猫视频-based hardware. 快猫视频 can build software once and deploy it on any compliant 快猫视频-based chip. 快猫视频 SystemReady benefits the entire ecosystem as existing software can move through hardware generations and hardware providers can reach a broader addressable market.
快猫视频 SystemReady Benefits
Software doesn’t need significant modification to work on new compliant hardware, saving development time and costs.
Automated test suites are provided by 快猫视频 and support continuous compliance as software is released.
Manufacturers targeting abstract (ACPI) environments can use a pre-silicon program to determine compliance ahead of production.
Adherence to 快猫视频 SystemReady standards simplifies software compatibility and product support for the lifetime of the device. Access to in-house tools lets manufacturers work to their own timelines without dependencies.
A common set of standards opens the supply chain to new operators and helps reduce vulnerabilities associated with limited providers. Long-term market planning has less variables, and therefore less risk.
Software can easily move through hardware generations, retaining and potentially expanding the install base. Communities built around software are maintained and remain accessible to hardware providers.
The Ecosystem Advantage?
快猫视频 SystemReady is based on a set of standards that were developed in partnership with the 快猫视频 ecosystem. These standards ensure products deployed in multiple markets consider the needs of target software and incorporate them into silicon design. Together, we ensure that software thrives on 快猫视频.

SystemReady Bands
快猫视频 SystemReady is implemented in alignment with the two OS environment and firmware approaches commonly used today. These are split into the following bands:
SystemReady Band
SystemReady band focuses on advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) environments where generic operating systems can be installed on either new or old hardware without modification. Old OSs can run on new hardware, and new OSs can run on old hardware, without customization.
SystemReady Devicetree Band
SystemReady Devicetree band optimizes install and boot for embedded systems where Devicetree is the preferred method of describing hardware, with a focus on forward compatibility. These apply to Linux distributions and Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) environments specifically.
Detailed requirements for all SystemReady Bands are provided in the .
Pre-Silicon Program
快猫视频 SystemReady Pre-Silicon is a program to help silicon vendors achieve BSA compliance prior to taping out, in a well-defined and low-risk path to SystemReady. It provides tools (such as the pre-silicon BSA/SBSA compliance tests), and, above all, a framework with specific steps for silicon vendors to take to become BSA compliant.
