(V)FPU support on new chips like ATMEL, NXP and Renesas

Post by Huib Koppers »

Hello,

Is their an possible ability to support de hardware FPU or VFPU (Vector)Floating Point Unit on new Atmel AVR32 and ARM (AT91SAMS926x), NXP LPC32xx or Renesas RX61x / Rx62x series for ARM FlowCode V4.

This could be very interesting to do realtime calculations and conversions with just a little clock cycles then older ARM chips.

It would be a great and a very interresting feature for hobbiest, engineers, enginering schools and devellopment companies.

The present GNU compilers do support this feature already, for the ATMEL, PIC, NXP and Renesas chips.

Kind Regards

Huib Koppers
