Application Processors
Application processors provide solutions for running complex operating systems (OS) for wireless, consumer, imaging, driver information and automotive entertainment systems.

Choosing an Operating System
The ARM architecture enjoys the widest choice of embedded operating systems for system development. OS choice is critical in producing a winning system design that meets the needs of the developer's chosen market. ARM enables choice by partnering with many leading suppliers of application OS and development environments.

Choosing an Individual Processor
The table below provides an at-a-glance guide to application processors and their performance characteristics, with links to each.
