Afraid I have bad news about ARM right there.

I'm interested in understanding and keeping up with this space - do you have any suggestions for resources to look at?

Refer to the RISC-V platform spec (ongoing).
It depends on other specs, some of which (like those related to the boot process) have already been ratified.

That's amazing - does that mean it's more complete than arm as a platform offering?
I don't think arm has anything standard around the boot process and vendors have various implementations
Like, if we ignore the chip design aspects - is it guaranteed software compiled on one RISC-V chip will run on another RISC-V chip? (in the same way it does on ARM and amd64/x86?
What about hardware interoperability? PCI? UEFI/Boot semantics? Power management?
Who enforces that stuff for arm and x86 platforms?
