Will there be armel images for 14.04?

  • 772

Looking at this page, it looks like armel arch will not be provided for 14.04. I'd that the case? Why so and when did this happen?

As a sidenote, I run armel 12.04 on my embedded systems, and haven't checked if armhf works.

    Ubuntu no longer provides pre-built images of new Ubuntu versions for armel. It only provides images for armhf (Hard Float, instead of floating-point emulation).

    What Single Board Computer (SBC) are you using? The only popular SBC that requires armel is the Raspberry Pi. All other work with armhf.

    For the Raspberry Pi, there was an effort to re-build the Ubuntu repositories to support the Raspberry Pi at http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2013/11/building-ubuntu-for-the-raspberry-pi/ Not sure whether the project was successful.
