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 |

|
| 23 |
So there is a rich archives of codes for the arm thumb. Exactly |
| 24 |
what the new processor you have on your new board compared to the |
| 25 |
legacy features of the "Arm Thumb" is something you are going to |
| 26 |
have to research, test and verify. Arm codes from older devices |
| 27 |
usually run on newer arm processors, but not always. Indianess and |
| 28 |
similar issue abound, but they are usually well documented, including |
| 29 |
examples. |

Linaro is moving arm linux, particularly but not limited to 64bit arm, |
| 34 |
forward at light speed. It is a formidable collection of coders. |
| 35 |
Many have connections to the legacy arm communities, like the Arm Thumb. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Much of the Arm Thumb legacy codes will run natively on the Aarch64 Arm |
| 38 |
processors. Im pretty sure you'll be able to run an Aarch64 arm chip |
| 39 |
like a cluster of arm thumb procesors. Aarch64 is purported to support |
| 40 |
2 or 3 simultaneously running and different Operating Systems, concurrently. |
| 41 |
It is a brave new world and arm is the place to be. Even AMD has several Arm |
| 42 |
(64 bit)server SOC in the process of being rolled out! |
