Or "rpi-1"? ..is the Raspberry Zero hardware way different, i.e. not ARMv6+VFPU2 since it doesn't boot off Raspian Wheezy? ..acconding to the foundation, it's "A(?)+ minus camera" etc and clocked 30% faster, which might cause a need for slightly higher cpu etc voltage settings. > The problem wouldn't be compiling the packages, which can be done with > a cross-compiler + toolchain on any more powerful piece of hw, but > perhaps putting together an entire port for such a specific target, > although it is a quite popular one. > > HND > > KatolaZ > -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
