is hard floating point enabled in NXP provided linux images for i.mx8m mini evk?

Hi,

I loaded the Linux binary demo files onto the i.mx8m mini evk using uuu

I downloaded the images from: https://www.nxp.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=L4.14.98_2.0.0_MX8MM&appType=file1&DOWNLOAD_ID=null

Do you know if this image has hard floating point support enabled?

It appears to me that perhaps it's not.

Thanks,

Davis

Hi Davis,

I have internally consulted about your injury, and below you can check the response:

This Arm Developer article claims: "the ARM software specification[1] followed by Linux Distributions and toolchain libraries mandates hardware floating point support at AARCH64."
So, if it is Linux on ARMv8, it is hardware floating point. And that is the reason why our toolchain does not support flags like -msoft-float.

Hope this will be useful for you.
Best regards!
