Another thing that needs explaining, before anyone assumes that making "working" images for other ARM devices, is just a case of name that device.....
On paper we have the BBB with a TI AM335x Cortex-A8 processor, the WB's with Freescale IMX6 Cortex-A9, and the CT with Allwinner A20 Cortex-A7. But they all have one thing in common. VFPv3 and NEON. CSOS is never going to support any ARM device which uses a processor without VFPv3 and NEON. Whcih is not to say that there is a technical reason why it is not possible to do so, only that I do not have the time to do anything other than look at what we already have as the lowest common denominator, that I have spent the last year building packages with NEON optimisations switched on, (whether they are used or not is another matter), and run with that. I'm not interested in "oh, can't you switch on kernel emulation of the missing instructions", or "perhaps you could provide generic packages". I've spent way too much time getting bogged down in stuff that I never should have gone anywhere near to start with. Line in the sand.... But, I suspect it wont be difficult to take the CSOS "base" F20 image, put a working kernel (for your specific device) on it and have a working CSOS image for any ARM device with a processor that supports VFPv3 and NEON. But that's not something I intend to do. You're on your own there. Have fun with that! ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
