Cortex A8 not visible on Visual Studio Platform builder

Hello,

I'm trying to build and SDK for the OMAP 3530 EVM with cortex A8 platform. I have installed all the necessary tools and the BSP (source) from the TI ftp server.

The problem is that when I'm trying to clone my BSP, prior starting a new project, there is no A8 choise. The only choises are ARMV4I. Like, EVM_OMAP35xx:ARMV4I

Is there any solutions to that? How can I have an A8 bsp?

Thanks in advance.

    Are you talking about Windows Embedded Compact 7 or Windows CE 6?

    WinCE6 only supports the ARMV4I architecture whereas WEC7 supports ARMV7. Note however that you can compile code for you Cortex A8 with both ARMV4I and ARMV7 compilers, but your code will be less performant on ARMV4I that does not support all the instruction set of the ARMV7 architecture available on ARM Cortex A8.
