 #### ABI types  ### QEMU
   
 There are two basic ABIs on ARM.  One, called oabi, assumed a  See the [[NetBSD/evbarm under QEMU|qemu_arm]] page for instructions on how to get started with QEMU.
 particular kind of hardware floating point (FPA).  This results in  
 faulting any floating-point instructions for kernel emulation on a  
 vast number of CPus, which is very slow.  A newer one, called eabi,  
 has two variants.  Both have stricter alignment rules, tending to 8  
 byte rather than 4 bytes for 8-byte types (but actually read the specs  
 if you care).  The one without "hf" emulates floating point without  
 causing traps/emulation, and "hf" uses VFP instructions, which are  
 present on modern CPUs. See the  
 [TS-7200](https://wiki.embeddedarm.com/wiki/EABI_vs_OABI) and  
 [Debian](https://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort) documentation.  
   
 Now, EABI is normal, and OABI is crufty.  The only real reason NetBSD  
 retains OABI support is binary compatibility with older releases.  The  
 "arm" and "armeb" MACHINE_ARCH targets are OABI; the rest of the  
 targets, all having "earm" are EABI.  
   
 \todo CHECK THIS: The "aarch64" MACHINE_ARCH target is an EABI variant.  
   
 ### Relationship of MACHINE_ARCH to official ARM terminology  
   
 Note that these are all little endian, and have big endian variants  
 with a "eb" suffix.

 \todo Explain why, if we have armv4, and this is confusing, we still have earm as a MACHINE_ARCH.  
   
 \todo Explain why aarch64 is a MACHINE_ARCH, when it seems like it  
 should be something like armv8hf_64.  
   
 \todo Explain if MACHINE_ARCH values correspond to a particular  
 argument to some CPU selection command in gcc (and/or clang).  
   
 ### Kernels and userland  
   
 The evbarm userland can be used on any system that can run code of the  
 CPU type used for the build.  Typically, a particular board requires a  
 kernel for that board.
