VFP on AM3703

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3703

The AM3703 mentions floating point in the data sheet, only in the bullet list ("Supports Both Integer and Floating Point SIMD"). I'm not sure what "supports" means in this case. Can you confirm that it has the VFP unit? Thank you.

Paul,

as far as I am aware all of our Cortex-A8 cores do contain the NEON and VFPv3 units. The rest is software and correct compiler options...

Regards.

Paul,

I guess we need to be more clear on this on the web and the datasheet. But yes, for the AM3703 we definitely have full NEON and VFPv3 support according to ARM specs for Cortex-A8. I am using it...

Regards.
