They initially told people that armv6 with vfp will be included in aarch32.. But then, When they created aarch32( the real one...armv7...it has a vfpv3 at least I believe, vector extensions were droped in favour of SIMD NEON 1.0.. ), that idea was droped.. So armv6 could not be in aarch32.. because aarch32 or armv7, is a new architecture.. So compilers for Hardfloat target armv7 only, And not armv6( for which some processors have vfp.. ) So you end with armel for armv6 with vfp( that's why I compiled kernel with hardfloat support, but the userspace is Devuan, so armel.. ). Also, Armel targets ARMv5T, ARMv6( unfortunatly even processors armv6 with vfp, are in that group of arm32 != aarch32 ) -- tux <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
