<br>
I read several discussions about lifting the default qemuarm target to armv7 or higher.<br>
On the mailinglist and on the internet I also found several mentions about machines qemuarmv7 and qemuarma8, but I didn't find any working machine configs for them.<br>
<br>
What are the planes here?<br>
<br>
Is the goal to increase the default to a higher arm version?<br>
<br>
Is there a bsp layer for other qemuarm variants (cortex-a8, ...)?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Whatever we replace it with has to be part of linux-yocto and the meta data that is<br></div><div>carried there, so it can be used for the sanity/smoke test machine for arch arm.<br><br></div><div>As such, it has to be feature compatible (network capabilities, disk boot, etc) with<br></div><div>the existing arm versatile 926ejs platform<br></div><div><br></div><div>There have been newer variants for ages, but since there's been no compelling <br></div><div>reason to upgrade, I continue to carry the existing platform support along to the<br></div><div>new kernels.
