Linaro and Arm have introduced CoreCollective to help people build compliant open source powered products on Arm.

“Linaro has been a catalyst for the Arm ecosystem, driving the open source software collaboration that enabled and enhanced Arm on all major operating systems and cloud providers,” says Li Gong, Linaro CEO, “as the ecosystem expands, we must scale our impact. CoreCollective with Arm’s backing removes the financial barrier to entry, making collaboration more inclusive, free and open to anyone to join and participate. By running CoreCollective alongside Linaro’s commercial services, we can support more partners in the Arm ecosystem, be it through industry-wide cooperation or tailored, one-to-one service agreements.”
“New workloads, including AI, are pushing performance, efficiency and security needs to new highs. To continue to scale demands new levels of ecosystem collaboration,”said Mark Hambleton, SVP Software, Arm. “CoreCollective is set up to enable us to come together to solve challenges in an open model, with a shared vision to help developers innovate faster on Arm as we build the next era of AI and compute.”
The consortium’s membership includes AMD, Ampere, Canonical, CIX Technology, Fujitsu, Google, Graphcore, Huawei, Qualcomm and SUSE.
CoreCollective will establish working groups focused on high-priority areas such as Android, Confidential Compute, Edge Platforms, Linux Fundamentals, Virtualization and Windows on Arm, and deliver standardised tooling and integration workstreams that strengthen the software ecosystem.
It is free and open to any company helping developers build, test and deploy secure workloads on Arm.
