To properly qualify a target like ARM which are supported on many different CPUs and platforms, we need a group of volunteers. This is critical near release time for obvious reasons, but it's also welcome between releases as well. LLVM.org doesn't explicitly name these "maintainers". I personally don't see a benefit because we don't want to force people to do release qualification when they might not be available. I think what we usually do is for the release manager to gather a group of volunteered. These are the folks who are responsible for qualification the targets of their interests on their preferred platform.> > EvanGroup of volunteers sounds great! I would like to add my resources for ARM target qualification. - Cortex-A9MP (Tegra2) ARMv7 architecture on Ubuntu/Linux, this is quite useable dual-core system for host testing. I have 2 systems that I can volunteer. - Cortex-A8 I have bunch of devices but they are only good for target testing. - Cortex-Mx ARMv7M I have myriad of boards that I use for target testing, the problem is that they can only run very small testcases. - Assorted ARMv4, ARMv5 and ARMv6 architecture or ARM11, ARM9 and ARM7 processors. Usable for host testing are the Marvell Armada/Kirkwood based Plug Computers, easy to get and I can volunteer 1. Just my 32-bits. Pawel
Please talk to Bill, the release manager, about how you can help. Thanks, Evan On Oct 13, 2011, at 12:54 PM, Pawel Wodnicki wrote:> Evan, > >> I'm the code owner of LLVM codegen and targets.

I can get Armada XP ARMv7 replacement at the end of this year. Can I also be a volunteer? :-) Regards, chenwj -- Wei-Ren Chen (陳韋任) Computer Systems Lab, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan (R.O.C.) Tel:886-2-2788-3799 #1667
