ARM Development Platform

ARM Development Platform

[davi]

Hi,

To get used to develop for ARM, do you think I should focus on Linux kernel 
development or on Android project development?

Would a Cortex-A* chip be valid as development platform?  If so I will buy
the "Exynos4 Quad Mobile Development Platform" at hardkernel.com.

it really depends on what you actually wanna do. These days there are
many, as Linus once said, "throw-away cheap" ARM boards out there. Check
out BeagleBoard XM, PandaBoard, BeagleBone and Raspberry Pi to name a
few.

Cortex-A is the newest "family" of ARM Cores (if you can call it that).
Cortex-A15 being the newest one and Cortex-A8 being the lowest end.

All you have to do is choose a board, choose what you actually want to
hack on, and start hacking.

cheers
