The differences between it and armv7 are almost entirely in the cache maintenence routines, and notably not in handling unaligned access the way we now configure the hardware. Bottom line: this is an old slow chip and you'll be nothing but frustrated using it. If you're going to get an rpi, get the much faster rpi2, which is a quad-core system. These days you may be even better off with something even newer based on the Allwinner chips (banana pi, cubieboard, a bunch of others), thanks to the excellent support work done recent (and still happening) by Jarred and Emmanuel. But I'm not sure of the price comparisons. -- Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
