Hello,
the hardfp floating point ABI for ARM will be made default and
mandatory for MeeGo 1.2 and later. This decision was made and approved
back in December 2010 in the MeeGo TSG and the impact has been
described in MeeGo wiki [1].
The hardfp scheduler is called armv8el and is up and running in MeeGo
Trunk.
This change introduces an ABI break with MeeGo 1.1. The hardfp ABI is
not compatible with the softfp ABI and because of this the packages
produced by the armv8el scheduler have the architecture name .armv7hl.
They cannot be installed in an armv7l system and vice versa.
If you or your company run into problems with this changeover, feel
free to seek help from #meego-arm @ freenode IRC channel or from the
meego-porting mailing list [2].
can you, for completeness, list a set of ARM SOC's that this hardfp will
run on...
omap3
tegra?
qualcom ?
asking because if it's only omap3 then I think this is a step in the
wrong direction and we should revisit the TSG decision.
