+## ARM compiler(version 6) for C and CPP
+
+Cross-compilation is now supported for ARM targets using ARM compiler version 6 - ARMCLANG.
+The required ARMCLANG compiler options for building a shareable library are not included in the
+current Meson implementation for ARMCLANG support, so it can not build shareable libraries.
+This current Meson implementation for ARMCLANG support can not build assembly files with
+arm syntax(we need to use armasm instead of ARMCLANG for the .s files with this syntax)
+and only supports gnu syntax.
+The default extension of the executable output is .axf.
+The environment path should be set properly for the ARM compiler executables.
+The '--target', '-mcpu' options with the appropriate values should be mentioned
+in the cross file as shown in the snippet below.
+
+```
+[properties]
+c_args      = ['--target=arm-arm-none-eabi', '-mcpu=cortex-m0plus']
+cpp_args    = ['--target=arm-arm-none-eabi', '-mcpu=cortex-m0plus']
+
+```
+
+Note:
+- The current changes are tested on Windows only.
+- PIC support is not enabled by default for ARM,
+  if users want to use it, they need to add the required arguments
+  explicitly from cross-file(c_args/c++_args) or some other way.
