Re: [android-developers] info about ARMV6 processor type and phone model

2011-09-13 Thread David Turner
ARMv6 doesnt use the same VFP instruction set than ARMv7 (ARMv6 is VFPv2,
while ARMv7 is VFPv3)
The two are completely incompatible, I really doubt that Firefox is going to
work on this device.

 Hi,

 I'm looking for the following information : what processor is inside
 the phone? It's a Samsung S5570 and I understand the processor is
 ARMV6. Is it V6 only or V6 + VFP.

 I guess I can get the answer if I install Firefox as it only works on
 V7 processors but I think I have read it could work with V6+VFP.

 Can anyone tell if the Samsung S5570 smartphone has VFP in it?

 I don't know a lot about processor hardware but I understand VFP is
 Very Floating Point and it enhances the capacities of the processor...

 Thanks,

 Pascal
