There have been requests to enable the hard floating point abi for the Yocto Project Beagleboard BSP. With the recent cortexa8 tune file changes I submitted to oe-core, subject "tune: update arm7a and cortexa8 tune files", it is now possible for the machine config to change DEFAULTTUNE to take advantage of the newly added "hf" tune variants.
Some binary libraries are incompatible with hardfp, as is 3D support on the Beagleboard. We don't ship either, so I feel it makes sense to take advantage of as much of the core CPU features as possible. This addresses [YOCTO 1203] http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204 I don't feel very strongly about this however. So if someone would like to argue for hardfp not being the default, please do so and I can easily comment out the DEFAULTTUNE change and add a comment in the machine config describing how to enable hardfp.
