Arm launched Arm Virtual Hardware (AVH) in October 2021, a cloud-based offering which enables software development without the need for physical hardware. This helps reduce time to market for embedded software developers and simplifying end-device integration into IoT services. Arm has extended the capabilities of AVH to address new uses cases and to enable a wider range of Arm processors and third-party hardware. The AVH service has transitioned from private beta to public beta and is now open to anyone with an Arm account to try out and use for commercial purposes.
