cerbero: Add support for armv7s architecture
Last modified: 2014-04-08 08:27:50 UTC
Patch coming to add basic armv7s support to Cerbero. The armv7s architecture is used on the iPad 4. This doesn’t add support for it to every recipe; only the ones needed for our particular dependency tree.
Created attachment 273377 [details] [review] config: Add support for armv7s architecture It’s used by the iPad 4, and differs from armv7. This modifies a couple of core recipes, but doesn’t claim to add armv7s support to all of them.

Are you saying that armv7s is incompatible with armv7?
Review of attachment 273377 [details] [review]: Looks good
(In reply to comment #3) > Are you saying that armv7s is incompatible with armv7? armv7s is a superset of armv7, adding a couple of new instructions. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12569339/what-is-armv7s An armv7s processor should be able to run armv7 code, I believe, but it’s probably best to keep the architectures of different object files equal inside a universal binary, so supporting armv7s is useful if linking against other armv7s code.
