The ARM port and new abi transition
Proposal details:
Abstract: | Discussion of the state of the existing arm port and the proposed new ABI for ARM.
We'll cover the arm port's status as an underused, yet very important port, recent problems, new variants and future challenges. There is strong pressure to move to a new ABI for ARM. This session will cover the practical effects this has on toolchain, kernel, libraries and applications. Pros and cons of Debian using the new ABI (for big and/or little-endian arm). How such a transition can be best managed within the Debian infrastructure, and considering the interaction between Debian and the commercial interest of ARM Corp. |
