Hi all,

I notice when looking through the LPCNet code that it uses, on x86_64, it uses

"intrinsics" to use the AVX/AVX2 extended instructions in modern CPUs.

I'm not a "super guru" C or C++ programmer. How "compatible" are the

x86_64 and the aarch64 "intrinsics" ?

On the aarch64 box here, (NetBSD) where I'm told "it just works" I do have:

/usr/include/gcc-7/arm_neon.h

And, from /proc/cpuinfo "neon" is there so I hope the kernel knows what to do

during context switching. (Do I have the right terminology here?)

(I assume there's only one SIMD/NEON unit on the SoC.)

BTW: We've just done the Winter VHF/UHF (and Microwave) contest.

We had 6m to 23cm with Yaesu/Icom transceivers.

And, 10Ghz and 24Ghz transverters, two sites 3km apart 59 both ways.

On 122GHz it was a LOT harder. We could do CW as the setup, a mixer diode

at the focus of a cassegrain dish, it can triple but to do SSB (or FM) the 
output

is some 15db down. The diode is microscopic on a thin PCB about 10mm x 15mm.

Also, our atmosphere has huge absorption around this frequency, water related??

(Is this why we have this band??)

Anyway, CW succeeded, just. very "wobbly" signals.
