A deprecation timeline for older Arm CPUs

[Posted July 31, 2024 by corbet]

Arnd Bergmann has posted a detailed timeline for the deprecation of support for old Arm CPUs in both the kernel and the compiler toolchain. Anybody who is working with that hardware will likely want to review this list and let the relevant developers know if any of that support is still needed.

RIP StrongArm

"These are the other StrongARM based platforms, which like RiscPC are only relevant for nostalgia". Arnd is right of course, but wow there's nothing like all the recent platform deprecations to make you feel old :)

I still have an iPaq PXA sitting on a shelf. Not booted up in many many years though (15, 20?).

OT: Can always daydream about risc-v. Hoping Oasis gets beyond the pipedream stage...
