ARM6

a family of 32-bit [|RISC] processors of the [|ARMv3 architecture] released in early 1992 by //Advanced RISC Machines Ltd//, a company structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers Ltd, Apple and [|VLSI Technology], which became  ARM Ltd when its parent company, [|ARM Holdings], floated on the [|London Stock Exchange] and [|NASDAQ] in 1998. The ARM6 is instruction compatible to Acorn's ARM2, has a full 32-bit address bus, requiring an extra PSR register. The differences between ARM6 and the later ARM7 are that the latter has a hardware debug capability, the [|Thumb instruction set] to support both 16-bit and 32-bit instruction formats and an enhanced multiplier. The ARM6 and successors were used in various Dedicated Chess Computers, notably the RISC 2500, Mephisto Montreux, Tasc R30 and Tasc R40. || toc =See also=
