[15:49] <goshawk> hi
[16:41] <Meizirkki> hey, goshawk
[17:31] <goshawk> is there any possibility to run ubuntu on armv4?
[17:32] <goshawk> i read that the ubuntu arm version will be for armv5
[17:33] <goshawk> but there are devices, like the well known Openmoko Freerunner, that uses armv4
[17:33] <ogra> the ubuntu port is actually focused on armv7 ...
[17:34] <ogra> thought since it is based on debian it inherits armv5 compatibility by default
[17:34] <ogra> there might be some v7 optimized libs soon though
[17:34] <ogra> v4 isnt actually in focus
[17:35] <goshawk> wait.. as long as i know debian focuses on armv4, in fact there is debian running or Freerunner.
[17:36] <ogra> right, but ubuntus port is based on the armv5 port
[17:36] <ogra> and even that is a compromise
[17:37] <ogra> there are currently performance tests going on about v7 vs v5 optimized builds
[17:37] <ogra> you lose a lot if you are building for armv4 but target v7
[17:38] <goshawk> but can i still run the code?
[17:38] <goshawk> i don't care performances
[17:38] <ogra> we dont build for armv5
[17:38] <ogra> as i said above
[17:38] <goshawk> ok
[17:38] <ogra> i doubt armv5 compiled binaries run right away on armv4
[17:41] <goshawk> oki
[17:41] <goshawk> thanks :)
