Presumably this will include the Raspberry Pi ? * Acorn Research machines; manufacturers of the BBC Models A, B, B+, Master 128 etc - those were the days. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU.

This is for larger devices ... although, there are now a some armv8 embedded devices too. We SHOULD also have an armv7hl branch at some point too (we have just really started working on that) ... and I think that will run on the raspberry pi2 when done (though not the original). We are trying for large data center devices not cell phones :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Presumably this will include the Raspberry Pi ?> is the rasberry pi ARMv8 (arm64) ? I thought it was v7 (32bit only)~~~~~~~~~~ Raspberry Pi 2 Model B is the second generation Raspberry Pi. A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU 128-bit AMBA? 4 AXI bus interface. The Cortex-A7 processor builds on the energy-efficient 8-stage pipeline of the Cortex-A5 processor. .... with 64-bit load-store path, 128-bit AMBA 4 AXI buses and increased TLB size (256 entry, up from 128 entry .... ARMv7-A The MPE extends the Cortex-A7 processor's FPU to provide a quad-MAC and additional 64-bit and 128-bit register set supporting a rich set of SIMD operations over 8, 16 and 32-bit integer and 32-bit Floating-Point data quantities. ~~~~~~~~~~ Except for the above, can't find any specific mentioned of 32 or 64 bit CPU. -- Regards, Paul.
