> Hi,
> This email was triggered by a request to change ARM to Arm in the dpdk.org
> webpage. I went down the path of finding out the correct names to use. There
> has not been consistency in using these names across all other projects. So,
> the recommendation I have got is, 'choose something and use it consistently'
> (within the DPDK project). Following are my recommendations (please notice
> 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
> might 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,
