Hi James, |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
sorry for the delay...I was not at home this weekend. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
quemu is offered via emerge...will try that first. By the way: |
| 56 |
I think the CPU on my Arietta board is a 32 bit thingy.You wrote about |
| 57 |
64 bit thumb code...executed by a cluster of 32 bit ARM CPUs...I have |
| 58 |
one Arietta board...or...what did I get confused here totally |
| 59 |
<scratching my head... ;) > |
| 60 |
|

Best regards, |
