Tiny Core Base > Raspberry Pi

What processors is piCore compiled for?

reminded of Bruce Schneier's 2006 post and referencing David A. Wheeler regarding trusting-trust and compiling-compilers

for reader convenience:
Mr. Schneier:

Mr. Wheeler:

thought-provoking nevertheless

I've split your post into its own topic.

32 bit piCore for ARMv6, ARMv7, and ARMv7l can be found here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv6/releases/RPi/
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv7/releases/RPi/
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv7l/releases/RPi/

64 bit piCore for ARMv8 can be found here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/

These ports are combatible only with Rasberry family-SOC I think? Whole ARM/SOC field (and armel) is "badly corrupted" for countless number of SOC's and driver mess (as Linus too has commented). Device Tree Blob -mechanism should help, but ports will probably more binded for SOC family rather than ARM-version, for ever....

Paul_123:
Yes, because we only have a Raspi bootLoader and kernel.  If you have those 2 things for a different arm board, the rest of the distribution would work.

The issue is only Raspberry pi properly supports their hardware.   Everyone else waves a shiny board at you to sucker you out of your $$$.
