Neon Instructions


That's a double sided gift: no one can complain anymore they can't use NEON due to lack of information. Lazy dev's :p
 
I really hope for some awesome compilers and JITs. ASM scares me.

I found some official information about NEON instructions. It's part of ARM RealView Development Suite documentation.
Look on the wiki: http://pandorawiki.org/Hardware_documentation#Cortex-A8

Hope this helps :)


1. Hmm i did a very quick scan. I did not see the Neon instructions in binary. Can someone confirm this?
2. Sorry for being a noob .. but are there any free assemblers that will accept the neon instructions?

Correct. That's only in the non freely available ARM ARM v7.

GNU assembler supports it.

Hmm .. ok time for some reverse engineering of the binary code generated. Or maybe i will just take a look at the assembler source code.

Look at the source: arm-dis.c

And search for neon :)
