Thanks for the detailed explanation.  Very helpful.

To be clear, I'm not a proponent of always using ARM "standards"
(especially when it's not exactly clear if it's a standard or a Juno
thing) but I'm seeing several SoCs come out with SCPI derivatives, or
old ARM versions etc., so was just curious about the decision making
process.

Thanks for sharing,

Kevin
