No, the v4 signifies that it supports v4 and up, but in fact the code is tuned for dual issue, i.e. Cortex and up. As far as I know, there is no reason not to use the asm versions if you need the algos in the first place. -- Ard. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
