Documentation: Cortex-A8 software compatability list
Use this page to list applications and other software which are known to work or not work with the Cortex-A8/OMAP3 port.
For software available online, please try and provide a URL to the software’s homepage so that developers can quickly find, download and test the software. Since the port is currently in heavy development, please also try to provide the date that your ROM image was built or downloaded – or failing that, today’s date. If a bug report has been entered in the bug tracker, please also provide a link to that. The list is sorted in alphabetical order for ease-of-use.
Note: If you are the maintainer of one of the pieces of software listed below, please check the ARMv7 compatibility primer for details on why your code may be failing and how to update it.
