See http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/JapanTechnicalJamboree11 for information about the jamboree. The presentation about this technology which was delivered at the meeting is at: http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/JapanTechnicalJamboree11?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=MIPS-Prelinker.pdf MIPS and CodeSourcery brought a demo so we got to do some actual speed comparisons live at the event. It was fun! Regards, -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Electronics =============================
