Arm

Edge AI, for everyone 

Arm has built the most complete developer ecosystem for Edge AI. Working directly with Arm, we extend it – with Fusion Studio, the toolchain that takes developers from model to deployment in a single workflow. 

Six integrations across Arm's Edge AI stack. 

Fusion Studio integrates with Arm at every layer from Cortex-M MCUs and Ethos-U NPUs to Arm’s developer toolchain, simulation, data capture, and the complete MLOps loop. 

Compute Coverage

Broad support for Arm Cortex-M-based microcontrollers across the Edge AI silicon ecosystem. Build, optimize, and deploy AI workloads to Cortex-M targets through Fusion Studio’s integrated workflow – wherever Cortex-M ships, Fusion Studio runs.

Native ExecuTorch support for Arm’s Ethos-U55 and U85 NPUs, compiled through the Vela toolchain. Train, quantize, and deploy NPU-optimized models from one desktop environment – no command-line conversions, no separate compilers.

Toolchain & Workflow Integrations

Direct integration with Arm’s Keil MDK toolchain and Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) simulation. Build, simulate, and iterate on Arm targets inside Fusion Studio – then deploy to physical hardware from the same environment. 

Integration with Arm’s SDS Framework brings dataset capture, playback, and inference workflows directly from Arm-based hardware into the development loop – closing the path from sensor to trained model inside one tool. 

Model training and optimization in Fusion Studio’s MLOps pipeline use Arm’s KleidiAI libraries – surfacing Arm’s CPU-side performance work directly in the developer’s training workflow. 

Capture data from Arm hardware. Annotate. Train with ExecuTorch and KleidiAI. Build firmware with Keil MDK. Deploy to Ethos-U targets. The full Edge AI loop, executed locally – no cloud compute costs, no toolchain stitching. 

“[Fusion Studio] is reducing complexity, accelerating innovation, and supporting teams to move to production more efficiently.”
