 The backend targets Arm Cortex-M CPUs via CMSIS-NN, which provides optimized kernel implementations for three instruction set variants:
 
-| Variant      | Description                 | Example CPUs       | Supported |
-|--------------|-----------------------------|--------------------|-----------|
-| MVE (Helium) | M-profile Vector extensions | Cortex-M55, M85    | ✅        |
-| DSP          | DSP extension instructions  | Cortex-M4, M7, M33 | ⬜        |
-| Pure C       | Reference C implementation  | Any Cortex-M       | ⬜        |

-DSP and pure C variants use the same CMSIS-NN API and may work, but have not been tested.
+The variant is selected from the target CPU's `-mcpu` flag. Build a test runner for a specific target with `backends/cortex_m/test/build_test_runner.sh --target=<cortex-mX>` and run tests against it with `pytest --cortex-m-target=<cortex-mX>`.
