ARMv6 stack/v3 and stack/spur VMs updated accordingly.
We’ll soon be adding ARMv7 quadcore Pi support - http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/
I’ve been using one for some time now and it is certainly nicely faster. The multiple cores make quite a difference to overall system performance even if Squeak can’t directly take advantage. The memory interface seems faster too.
I was going to ask you about this as I saw the RPi 2 announcement today. I figured you probably already had one :)
I haven’t been building the ARMv7 VMs recently since there is something broken in the ARM fast BitBlt enhancements for ARMv7, which I haven’t had time to look into. Have you been able to make any improvements to that? (There’s also some potential issues noted by Ken Dickey regarding atomic operations).
