Why are we building for armv6?

Open sinetek opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Most of the boards referenced have ARM cores that are armv7a (for instance I'm on the Zynq 7020), yet the config files seem to build for armv6. Why is that?

They all used to be armv6

Patches to change this would be welcome.

Ola, What could I start reading to understand what would need to be changed to build for ARM7 / other ARM architectures?

This would just be updating TARGET_ARCH for the relevant boards, no?

This shows most of them: git grep TARGET board/*/setup.sh

Some boards I see are already armv7.
