Optional: your own copy.
The specifications open at their publishers: AMD's PDF and Arm's documentation page. This site does not copy them. No download-and-upload step is required. The section list gives PDF page numbers for the named editions; publishers may use their own navigation. If you already have a copy, the optional local viewer can jump to verified pages. An exact edition match enables these jumps; other editions open at page 1.
Local PDFs are read on your device, without an upload. They are not retained after this page is closed. Other PDF documents can be opened here too, up to 32 MB.
