Migrating from x86 architecture to Naon

Revision as of 09:01, 15 June 2012 by DevWikiAdmin (talk | contribs)

Computational power achievable by system-on-chips built around Cortex-A8 processor make them appealing solution for several applications that historically have been implemented on x86-based processors.

This article, written as a list of commonly asked questions, aims to help system integrators and developers who are used to work on x86-based machines to make a sort of comparison between these two different approaches.

Following images show simplified block diagram of x86-based PC-like architecture and Naon architecture.
