Note that "ARM9" (note the lack of v) is a particular implementation of version N of the ARM architecture specification, while "ARMvN" is version N of the ARM architecture specficiation. There is no ARMv9 at this point, and even ARMv8 hasn't been published yet. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
