I started up initramfs image with qemu. And the /proc/cpuinfo stated:
Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt vfpd32
lpae evtstrm
So, wouldn't it make sense to change the
CPU_SUBTYPE:=neon
to
CPU_SUBTYPE:=neon-vfpv4
Because, this way it will share the same "packages" with ipq806x.
So it will be less work for the phase2 builds.
(Note: I haven't tested this with kvm on a A15, but only qemu-system-arm
on a x86). But I haven't seen any "illegal instruction signal (code 0x00000004)"
there when I compiled a initramfs with neon-vfpv4.
Regards,
Christian
