AM37x EVM Development Kit (MISTRAL EVM MAIN BOARD AM37x)

I have looked at many of the AM/DM37x Evaluation Module (EVM) related docs and can not find a definite answer to my question about floating point math support.

It appears that the AM/DM37x configured as an omap-4 does have a floating point processor, but does the AM/DM37x EVM Development Kit (MISTRAL EVM MAIN BOARD AM37x) support floating point math? If it can, does it have a floating point processor or software floating point?

Thank you.

    So, the answer depends on 'what' is being put into the EVM main board.  If you look over at this other thread: http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/sitara_arm174_microprocessors/f/416/p/107241/379045.aspx the answer is yes.

    I just want to clarify, the AM37xx and DM37xx are not OMAP4 devices.  They are based on the ARM Cortex-A8 core.  Devices in these series implement the NEON hardware co-processor of the ARM Cortex-A8 and the VFPv3 hardware.
