It's arguably a proto-RISC architechture (eg ADD has to be coded explicitly from CLC and one or more ADC, register file is memory locations 00-FF, etc), but it has little to do with ARM.
- colanderman 5y agoMy understanding was that much of the design of ARM was literally based on 6502: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#Design_concepts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#Design_concep... Edit: Granted, Sophie Wilson, one of the designers of ARM, is on record stating that 6502 didn't inspire anything in particular, beside being one of the few inputs to her pool of ideas (16032 and Berkeley RISC being the others): https://people.cs.clemson.edu/~mark/admired_designs.html#wilson https://people.cs.clemson.edu/~mark/admired_designs.html#wil... So... arguably :)
