Application Binary Interface for the Arm® Architecture

This is the official place for the latest documents of the Application Binary Interface for the Arm® Architecture, both for source files and officially released documents.

Releases

The latest ABI releases are being made available only here on Github: https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/releases and are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License + grant of Patent License.

If there is no entry in the change history table for a release, there are no changes to the content of the document for that release.

Previous versions of the documents were released under a proprietary license on developer.arm.com. These are now hosted in this repo, and are to be found under the legacy documents folder. They follow the same folder naming scheme as the main document folders.

See the links to the individual documents in the Document locations section below.

Defect reports

Please report defects in or enhancements to the specifications in this folder to the issue tracker page on GitHub.

For reporting defects or enhancements to documents that currenlty are not yet included in this repo and are thus only hosted on developer.arm.com, please send an email to [email protected].

Document locations

See the tables below for the status of the various ABI specifications. A dash represents that the document isn't available either as a Github release or as a legacy release.
