This may be a dumb question.
I was looking at the FreeBSD 15.1 Hardware Notes page. In 2. Supported Platforms > 2.2. AArch64 I saw Zedboard (Zynq 7000 SoC), with Tier-1 support. I checked some documents and here's what I got:
Am I missing something, or should Zedboard be moved to AArch32 (Tier-2 support)?
I was looking at the FreeBSD 15.1 Hardware Notes page. In 2. Supported Platforms > 2.2. AArch64 I saw Zedboard (Zynq 7000 SoC), with Tier-1 support. I checked some documents and here's what I got:
- The SoC of Zedboard is XC7Z020-CLG484-1.
- See this page at avnet.com, go to Technical Specifications > SOC OPTIONS.
- Also in this page at digilent.com, go to Features.
- The processor of XC7Z020 is Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore.
- See Zynq-7000 SoC Product Selection Guide (XMP097), go to page 2.
- Also in this page at digilent.com, go to Features.
- The architecture of Cortex-A9 is Armv7-A.
- See Cortex-A9 Product Support, go to Specifications > Architecture.
Also in the FreeBSD/ARM Project page, Status.The ARM instruction set is a set of 32-bit instructions providing comprehensive data-processing and control functions.
32-bit ARMv7 is officially a Tier 2 architecture, as the FreeBSD Project does not provide official releases or pre-built packages for this platform due to it primarily targeting the embedded arena.
Am I missing something, or should Zedboard be moved to AArch32 (Tier-2 support)?
