Upcoming changes to Arm's technical documentation websites

3 minute read time.

Earlier this year we announced a few changes that we’re making to improve the user experience, consistency, and discoverability for people accessing Arm technical content: We’ve heard your feedback! Upcoming changes to Arm's developer and community websites, and Upcoming changes - a detailed look at the new Arm Developer and Community websites.  

Arm’s technical documentation website, infocenter.arm.com, has delivered non-confidential technical documentation for over 20 years. More recently we have served non-confidential documentation from Arm Developer, where we tried to introduce an updated user experience and deliver that experience in a more modern and accessible way. The simple truth, however, is it failed to do so as we never completed the documentation section to our original design, and it’s failed to be a suitable successor to Infocenter. 

What are we doing now? 

We’ve recently built a new documentation delivery service, using scalable, performant infrastructure, to deliver both non-confidential and confidential documentation, if you are entitled to access it, anywhere in the world. 

Using this new documentation service, we’re currently building a brand-new documentation hub which offers significant improvements over both the current developer.arm.com/docs and infocenter.arm.com user experiences. 

The new documentation hub will replace Infocenter when we launch later this year. You’ll still be able to find the content you use regularly as we’re migrating the content from Infocenter to the new documentation hub.

What does the new documentation hub look like? 

The documentation hub is a stand-alone service that will be accessed from the ‘Documentation’ menu item of the Arm Developer website. 

It enables browsing and navigation of Arm's technical documentation and allows granular search of the platform. Here’s a sneak peak of what it will look like: 

 New Arm Developer documentation hub landing page

Once in a document, you can navigate using the left-hand menu tree, and you can also hide this menu tree to enable a larger viewing panel for the actual content. On launch day, you’ll be able to view different versions of a document and download them, plus any other available attachments, such as example code.

Future iterations of the documentation hub will introduce in-document search (like Ctrl+F in your web browser), change/update notifications subscription through multiple channels (such as RSS, your Arm Account, or email), a light/dark theme switch, and a related articles component to connect you with other relevant documentation or content. 

What about the existing websites/services? 

To make sure we don’t lose anything when the sun sets for the last time on infocenter.arm.com, we are migrating all of the content across to the new documentation hub. 

We’ll be doing the same for developer.arm.com/docs. 

And finally, we’ll set up a comprehensive network of redirects, to ensure that you can still connect with your existing links and content once they’ve moved to their new home. 

If you think that you might be affected in any way by these changes, please click on the yellow feedback button and get in touch with us.

    Your new system is truly horrible. You display great hubris to think that you can improve on infocenter. It was so easy to find exactly the required spec version.
