Freescale i.MX31 floating point   
Does QNX support the Freescale i.MX31 vector floating point unit?

We're looking for a replacement for the pxa270 and sure could use the floating point unit.

TIA

Yep, gcc 4.2 toolchain has support to do ARM vfp.

Re: Freescale i.MX31 floating point   
BTW, the compiler options you would want to use would be:

-mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softvfp

Re: Freescale i.MX31 floating point   
No problem. Rereading your question, I'm not certain if you were strictly speaking about VFP support from the Tools or 
the OS. I assumed it was the tools because this is the tools forum.  

You would also need the ARM v6 procnto for VFP support.

Re: Freescale i.MX31 floating point   
Is procnto v6 released or still beta?

IOW, what needs to be downloaded to get this support?

Thanks again.

Re: Freescale i.MX31 floating point   
It will be released with 6.4.0

Note that you'll also need a startup built with the 6.4.0 (head branch)
libstartup.a to ensure it sets everything up for procnto-v6 operation.
I don't know the BSP release schedule though...

Re: Freescale i.MX31 floating point   
Great, Thanks!

It looks like the required stuff can be downloaded from the Trinity build.

Hopefully that will be suitable for our MX31 evaluation benchmarks.
