Overview
Arm® RealView Hardware Platforms are suitable for architecture and CPU evaluation, hardware and software design, and ASIC emulation. They are designed to provide value to customers in a number of ways:
- Early access to the latest Arm® IP, including processors, AMBA interfaces, and PrimeCell blocks
- Faster time to market achieved by fast software development early in the development cycle
- Risk reduction in ASIC designs by prototyping custom hardware in FPGAs and connecting it to real processors and peripherals
- Fast environment for application development for a number of operating systems

Connectors
Versatile is the latest generation family of Arm® boards. They are based on high density Q Strip® QTH/QSH connectors from Samtec, which allow several AMBA AHB or AXI buses to be routed between baseboard and daughter cards, also called "tiles."
Samtec describes the Q Strip® QTH connector (used on the upper side of the tile) as a header and the QSH connector (used on the lower side of the tile) as a socket.
