Your good wish has already worked! > I got access to the board 8) I'm always glad to hear of your successes.... It looks like the "arm9" is a moderized "Arm Thumb" processor. ARM926EJ-S™ ARM® Thumb® Processor So there is a rich archives of codes for the arm thumb. Exactly what the new processor you have on your new board compared to the legacy features of the "Arm Thumb" is something you are going to have to research, test and verify. Arm codes from older devices usually run on newer arm processors, but not always. Indianess and similar issue abound, but they are usually well documented, including examples. https://www.linaro.org/projects/ Linaro is moving arm linux, particularly but not limited to 64bit arm, forward at light speed. It is a formidable collection of coders. Many have connections to the legacy arm communities, like the Arm Thumb. Much of the Arm Thumb legacy codes will run natively on the Aarch64 Arm processors. Im pretty sure you'll be able to run an Aarch64 arm chip like a cluster of arm thumb procesors. Aarch64 is purported to support 2 or 3 simultaneously running and different Operating Systems, concurrently. It is a brave new world and arm is the place to be. Even AMD has several Arm (64 bit)server SOC in the process of being rolled out! > Best regards, > Meino James
