There’s no IBM PC/AT for ARM to fork from.
So there are duplicate and diverse attempts to design purpose built ARM computers.
Just as it was with PowerPC Macs, ThinkPads, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, router appliances, etc., that were all built on PowerPC CPU, “ARM platform PC” are usually not designed to run kernel binaries complied for any other machines.
There are recent attempts by SoC vendors to change that, too early to call widespread or matured just yet.
