Articles / pages about developing for ARM hardware or tools for so doing
Whether you want old school ARM (32-bit) or a shiny new UEFI ARM (32-bit) virtual machine in Libvirt/KVM, and automated or ‘manual’ creation, there is a way to get what you want. This post introduces the four ARMs and will point to the four posts as they are added.
Create a non-EFI (old school) ARM hardfloat virtual machine for Libvirt/KVM using a traditional interactive Debian install.
Create an UEFI (newish) ARM hardfloat (32-bit) virtual machine for Libvirt/KVM using a traditional interactive Debian install.
Create a non-EFI (old school) ARM hardfloat virtual machine for Libvirt/KVM using packer to automate a repeatable process.
Create an UEFI (newish) ARM hardfloat (32-bit) virtual machine for Libvirt/KVM using automated image build using Packer.
The fastest and most practical way to build software for armel is to cross-compile on an x86_64 machine even for a Linux 2.6-series kernel
