So if you consider the current cross-toolchain we're providing, they offer these -march=armv4t or -mcpu=arm926ej-s flags; is this good enough for you? > An unrelated thing that is missing is a universal configuration tool > for putting together Linux images.

Linaro doesn't aim at being a distribution, but I think mainstream distribution are becoming more and more embedded friendly, more and more "combinable". Eventually, the lines will blur I'm sure. In the mean time, you should consider the current distributions like OpenEmbedded/Poky/Angstrom/ Debian/Ubuntu/MeeGo etc. on their face value for what they can offer: either a good (cross-)compilation framework, or a large amount of software, usually not both right now :-) We're working at providing more tools to cross-compile Debian/Ubuntu distros though. -- Loïc Minier _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
