@pancake I think this is one of the rare ones where you can hit “skip” because there's no matching images :P

@pancake Ah, PXA255, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...
I still remember the day we fixed that cache bug in the PXA250 and marketing decided to name it 255 and charge extra.

alt: google captcha style meme, the challenge is "Select all squares with SoCs which can boot mainline linux", below it are 16 pictures of various SoCs from broadcom, rockchip, texas instruments, motorola, mediatek, qualcomm and others, as well as a few FPGAs

@pancake Fuck uh umm the Rockchip umm uhh

@pancake Can a Spartan-6 run a core that can boot Linux? I feel like this is one of those annoying questions because "boot" is a very vague term and if you were clever enough designing the core and paring down the kernel you could say "yes" even tho my (admittedly very limited here) intuition says "not normally."

@pancake
The spartan definitely not, thats just an FPGA. The Zynq can definitely boot linux as it has a regular ARM processor (i did this on my zynq dev board). I think OMAP can boot it too, along with the Mediatek, Broadcom and Qualcomm chip. I'm not sure about the others.

@pancake Lol. This is good.

I worked at Marvell for many years and couldn’t remember the PXA1928. More used to the interval code names than the marketing part numbers. (Blush)

@pancake @whitequark do the FPGAs count if I put a softcore in them?
