I'm not disagreeing with you that it's a bit of FUD, however what you're saying isn't entirely true either. > In reality, all known application processors (e.g. made to run a software stack based on Linux), follow the RVA profile[0] spec. What profile does Greenwave's GAP8 conform to? > Specifically, they currently target RVA20, and thus also support RVA22. Anything targeting RVA20 wouldn't be forward compatible. RVA22 added vector and floating-point extensions that a processor conforming to RVA20 wouldn't necessarily have or that wouldn't necessarily be compatible with RVA22.

>What profile does Greenwave's GAP8 conform to? That's a microcontroller, and designed to run your custom code. Regardless, it does conform to RVI20 profile, and supports the optional M and C extensions. It will thus run RVI20 code w/o issue. >or that wouldn't necessarily be compatible with RVA22. If not clear enough, all RVA20 code runs unmodified on RVA22.

Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you meant software targeting RVA22 would run on a RVA20 processor.
