Hi James, sorry for the delay...I was not at home this weekend. quemu is offered via emerge...will try that first. By the way: I think the CPU on my Arietta board is a 32 bit thingy.You wrote about 64 bit thumb code...executed by a cluster of 32 bit ARM CPUs...I have one Arietta board...or...what did I get confused here totally <scratching my head... ;) > Best regards, Meino
