So I'm a bit more hesitant o= n > dropping architectures quickly. >=20 Firstly, sorry for too long time to no response about tilegx. During latest 2 years, I turned to android development (custom aosp with java/c++/c, merge android and linux together), and revert engineering about android (java/c). At present, sorry, I really have no time for tilegx any more. :( For me, tilegx is still a good platform, and we have done much things, now, so if we can find another maintainers/volunteers for it, I hope qemu can still support tilegx. By the way, for floating point instructions patches, I have sent before (2 years ago), it seems I did not get any reply. I hope they are useful for tilegx. Thanks. --=20 Chen Gang (=E9=99=88=E5=88=9A)
