Re: iwmmxt requires an AAPCS compatible ABI for proper operation


Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what the status of ARM VFP support is? I am thinking
about using a Philips LPC3180 in my next project, because I need
floating point. Will the hardfloat ABI use VFP or is FPA different to
VFP? Has anyone used a LPC3180 yet, with GCC/Linux?

Cheers,
Hugo.

p.s. sorry I hijacked this thread :-)
