Indeed. I've just commited text from http://www.debian.org/ports/ : =================================================================== <listitem> <para> - armhf, an alternative to armel for ARMv7 machines with hard-float + armhf, an alternative to armel for ARMv7 machines with hard-float. +A lot of modern ARM boards and devices ship with a floating-point unit (FPU), +but the older Debian armel port doesn't take much advantage of it. The armhf +port was started to improve this situation and also take advantage of other +features of newer ARM CPUs. The Debian armhf port requires at least an ARMv7 +CPU with Thumb-2 and VFP3D16 coprocessor. </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It should get shown at http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#idp154000 soonish.
