Originally posted by pigpen View PostI hope they continue to build Fedora for ARMv7. I have 2 devices (Beagle bone black and Udoo Neo) that have CANbus that are useful. I have a "shield" w/ CANbus transceivers for the BBB. The Udoo Neo is nice because it takes 6 to 15 VDC, which is useful for cars & boats.
STMicroelectronics STM32MP15x also incorporate a Vivante 2d/3d Graphics card on it, and I still have the same doubt about etnaviv support?
does you experimented with etnaviv driver?
thanks,

I doubt any arm v5 or v6 is been produced (haven't researched) and given the low power consumption of such devices their life span is really long. For that fact many people still use these older arm devices on networking applications. Their is now the new shiny armv9, What will happen to armv8? Will it also be retired in 1 - 2 years?
Debian/Devuan also has support for armv5T and armv6, its armel..
In Debian stretch it used to support also arm4T, but 4T was dropped in Debian 10 (buster).
There are tons and tons of armv5/6/7 hardware out there, because they are long term devices..
Agree, with your question about armv9, and if they will drop armv8 too?

Yes and no. It is correct that 32 Bit ARM systems are continued to be manufactured and sold, but not Cortex Chips. 32bit Cortex Chips basically vanished, all that is remaining are the M type chips for micro controllers.
