Please correct me if this is wrong.
OK, I'll restate my original question. Has anyone used gentoo or the embedded gentoo tool chain to build from sources a linux kernel that runs on the brand new A9 chip? Is anyone working on the A9? Does anyone have any plans to use gentoo to build a working A9 linux kernel? The A9 is not an Arm9 chip, it's the latest processor in the new line of Arm's multi processor line. Yes it has many similarities to the Arm 9 as alluded to above. There is also a single core version of the A9. http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARMCortex-A9_MPCore.html -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
