[q] APQ8060 Neon Support - Hardware Hacking General

Hi ,
Just got a quick question does qualcomm APQ8060 supports neon?

I think so, not sure. I believe the Tegra2 is one of the few mobile SoC's that doesn't have NEON. If you wanna be sure, (and you have an APQ8060 device) you could execute the following command in the terminal:
'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
If you're device supports NEON you should see it listed somewhere.

2nd result (would be first if you didn't post this question):
MSM8x60/APQ8060:
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3

Activate GPS on TOUCH ?

Hi,
Is it possible ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1539468&posted=1
Thks !
elf's cpu
CPU: 32bit Texas Instruments OMAP 850
nike's cpu
CPU: 32bit Qualcomm MSM7200 (SoC)
because nikes is called touch II dont mean that they have the same cpu
nikes cpu have onchip gps
not sure if elf's does
names can be very decieving
Thx for precision.

Arm11 Processor?

How're arm11 processors? Is it like the droid's processors which is clocked at 550 but has great gpu clocks?
Beautiful processor!

better yet can the arm 11 processor be over clocked to 800?
which ARM11 platform does boot the linux kernel ?
I am wondering which ARM11 platform does boot the linux kernel ? And where to start for Nokia E7 (BCM2727)
Regards

Just pointing out any processor that is ARMv6 or ARMv7 is considered ARM11. So the MT3GS is an ARM11 processor and of course it runs on a linux kernel. That is exactly what Android is, a flavor of Linux.

Qualcomm's Dual-core Processors for HTC

Is it true that Qualcomm's dual-core CPU's will be based on the older ARM Cortex-A8 architecture set instead of the modern Cortex-A9 which is being used by Apple's A5 Chip and Nvidia'S Tegra 2 ?

The hardware benchmarks on the dual-core MSM8x60 1.2 Ghz chip used by HTC Pyramid (Sensation,Doubleshot) and the Evo-3D do not look pretty good.

Need a bit of clarification on this issue why they didn't choose the Cortex-A9 path.
Ok so I just read this report from Qualcomm explaining this issue:
http://www.qualcomm.de/documents/files/linley-report-dual-core-snapdragon.pdf
Apparently their architecture set is compatible with ARM's instruction architecture set and they claim its better than the A9.
"The superscalar CPU uses a 13-stage pipeline to generate faster clock speeds than competing products can achieve using ARM’s Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9"
Having said that still not sure why the hardware benchmarks are not near the Cortex-A9 dual-core processors.
Adreno-220 is pretty good though compared to other GPU's.

Because bechmarks are meaningless and HTC have yet to put the work into fiddling them yet!
Quamcomm has been claiming that their design is better than ARM's Cortex A8 before but other than few special occasions, they are mostly equal at the same clock speed. Since MSM8x60 is also based on the identical cores, I don't see how it could be better than Cortex A9. In fact, Qualcomm is working on their own "equivalent to A9" version right now.
FYI, # of pipelines don't tell the whole story about the speed of CPUs. If not implemented well, it will simply cause longer stall delays. We have seen this in the old Pentium 4 architectures.
I think the 128bit fpu makes scorpion equivalent to a9 in floating points calculation

armv7

Hi guys I'm confused as my a500 processor is a armv7 when I checked in setcpu . Isn't it suppose to be a tegra 2 dual core?
"Tegra" is just a name/label. The processor is built in the ArmV7 instruction set. If you want to know more, Google is just a click away
