A tour of the ARM architecture and its Linux support

[@syferpolski4344]

This talk is of academic quality. I knew nothing of arm except that there were at least two parts called armhf and aarch64, and now I can honestly say I know the basics. GJ!

[@waliedahmed5030]

To me, this talk connected a lot of dots. It is so informative and elegant.

[@AlexNiebla]

Amazing talk, so well summarized and structured.

[@qazwsx872]

One of the best videos I have seen in my life. Big big thank you !

[@viveksharma9564]

Speaker: @0:37 "That's why I'm speaking little weirdly" Audience (at the end): We also want to be "that kind of weird" speaker. Superb talk. 👏👏👏 One could also se through the clarity of thoughts and experience while listening to this. Too good.

[@karimmanaouil7278]

Very excellent, informative and well structured presentation!

[@physicsimulation]

Merci Thomas pour cette magnifique présentation. De A à Z, sans omission, en signalant uniquement les points pertinents. Délectable !

[@TheEmbeddedLinuxDude]

Yet another superb talk from Free Electrons! Watching this video should be required for all embedded Linux folks!

[@SAR2325]

Awesome, awesome tech talk. So well presented. Thanks Thomas P .

[@Danscottmusic]

Excellent talk, I am a complete newbie in this realm and I feel like I learnt a lot. Thanks

[@picklerix6162]

Thanks for this video. I am part of a new team working with an Arm-based SoC.

[@carterthaxton]

Wonderful presentation. Does anyone know of a follow-up presentation describing the situation as of 2022? I’m especially curious to know if there have been any structural changes since this talk was given, e.g. to the Linux kernel, the Device Tree, and the process of integrating vendor support for SoCs and boards. Or is all of this still totally relevant?

[@macemoneta]

I'm truly amazed at how far Linux ARM support has come in the last few years. I can actually install an out of the box Fedora image (for example) faster and easier on some ARM boards than on my desktop now.

[@jonathanflores8203]

can you show how to install fedora on samsung chromebook arm 303C12?

[@rkay9319]

Excellent presentation. Many Thanks for this informative session.

[@isthereanyname]

This is a great talk! Well done

[@gmt-yt]

Best. Talk. Ever.

[@pedrofilipelopescorreia840]

Great talk! Congratulations!

[@climbeverest]

This is incredible, do such events happen all over the world? What event was this lecture a part of? Do such events happen in US cities?

[@samlaf92]

28:30 Why does he say that ARM doesn't have a standardized BIOS-like boot process? On the next slide he says u-boot is the standard boot loader for ARM devices, and wiki mentions that u-boot implements a subset of UEFI (which is the new generation replacement for BIOS).

[@404Anymouse]

This was amazingly informative talk.

[@sequri]

Fascinating talk. KZbin really is a great resource for learning. Many thanks indeed to contributors such as this; very much appreciated here! 👍 I’ve learned so much Linux and ARM stuff from KZbin lately and I’ve been using both to a modest extent since the early days. Particularly love the historical perspectives on development and personalities/politics behind them. Things start to make more sense when you get the context in which developments happen. I urge everyone to look at the Sinclair, Acorn, id software stuff (with Steve Furber, Sophie Wilson, John Romero) etc. Tech crack imho 😎✌️

[@babualluri2051]

YES, another great talk from free-electrons. Very technical and nice presentation like the other old ones by him.

[@reaktorleak89]

Greatly helped my understanding of Linux, and surprisingly even Android. Thanks!

[@magicandmagik]

such a great talk, thanks for sharing for free on youtube

[@hedong2009]

Very good summary

[@christianngameni1538]

Super, merci pour cette présentation tres riche

[@roz1]

Really clarified a lot of my concepts that i didn't understand

[@talstol6009]

Great lecture, well organized!

[@hanumanthuh8666]

Excellent organization of the content and precise presentation.

[@swerrock]

Wow. Perfect presentation.

[@jakobw135]

Which CPU and GPU manufacturers use the A.R.M. architecture, besides Apple?

[@AmanDeepSingh-xe9of]

Excellent talk, loved it :) Just like a good movie script, watched from start till end without getting bored.

[@enricolumetti1995]

Excellent talk

[@katelikesrectangles]

Great talk! Thank you!

[@2010gulf]

superb presentation 👍👍👍

[@mishuman]

Great talk

[@annoloki]

@ 45:20 - feel like there should have been clapping here!

[@georgemwidima3851]

I am a great user of Windows OS. I run thousands of Pograms especially Office and EnglishSwahili Translation softwares. Is there any Windows OS Emulation on Linux or Android where I can Windows Program on Android especially those that are not fully deveped for Android like FLuency Now CAT Tool for example? Thank you for the video.

[@lkshan7975]

Simply wow

[@diegonayalazo]

Thanks

[@platin2148]

Bootlin really great like there kernel ref lookup as Eclipse fails terribly on it.

[@myphone4590]

The dts files are licensed gpl. It will never be used by any other OS.

[@nicoladellino8124]

Very nice video

[@155stw]

Fantastic!

[@yichanli9518]

it's awesome

[@gregzeng]

Comparison to CISC and x86 architecture?

[@moldabekov]

you mean RISC and x86 :)

[@71GA]

31:46 THIS is the reason ARM architecture at this time can't be on your personal computer or workstation... It is only good for predetermined embedded systems not being able to connect any other newer peripherals... I started learning ARM with ARM926EJ-S core and am now trying with Cortex-M4, but even these two cores are very different not to even mention SoC in which they are embedded! In my opinion ARM architecture became a big pain in the a**... Some things really need to change here...

[@yuwuxiong1165]

Is it possible to change the dram size for an ARM platform like for x86 PC? Or, are there ARM platforms which have DIMM slots for DRAM? Is the dram size has to be specified in the DTS, or the DDR controller can figure it out dynamically?

[@oliverszk]

ASUS NovaGo have a Snapdreagon in it.

[@Anonymouspock]

@@yuwuxiong1165 I think it's dynamic because there's big ARM servers with multiple processors and lots of memory.

[@alexanderalexander3194]

thats deep

[@Fetrovsky]

Why does he keep saying "Kotex A5", and "Kotex A15", etc?

[@kunalsalvi8382]

Daniel Jesús Valencia Sánchez He meant "cortex" bro,

[@lollol-se9ng]

He is from France! Are you a linguist?

[@dschwartz783]

Let's see you speak French.

[@sundhaug92]

Cortex A5 is a thing though (not to be confused with the Cortex A15)

[@techzone2009]

But why developers don't focus on (LINUX applications+android application using arm ) I mean x86 program on arm .. phonebook lacks app support from x86 application and Android apps

[@RogerBarraud]

Now we know why Android phones are throwaway after a couple of years 😞

The worst, but unfortunately the most abundant, platform to develop Linux on. Especially the forked kernels that get fucked inside out beyond recognition.

[@JunaidHasan23]

Great talk
