I went down the path of finding out the correct names to use. Ther= e has not been consistency in using these names across all other projects. = So, the recommendation I have got is, 'choose something and use it consiste= ntly' (within the DPDK project). Following are my recommendations (please n= otice the lower/upper case of the letters): Architectural State: aarch64/arm64 - referring to aarch64 state - recommended: aarch64 aarch32/arm32 - referring to aarch32 state - recommended: aarch32 (arm32 mi= ght create confusion with armv7) ISA: armv8.x armv7.x Any reference to Company name: Arm So, everything is lower case except when referring to the company (for ex: = Copyright) name. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Honnappa IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confid= ential and may also be privileged.
