You could run an emulated floating point package on any hardware (I wrote one myself in the 1970s for an 8 bit CPU - IBM even had a decimal floating point package on some early computers to avoid rounding errors in financial transactions.) | |

| Aug 15, 2023 at 14:08 | comment | added | Omar and Lorraine | Oh! I've just tried an armhf image on my raspberry pi zero, and it booted. Never seen that before; I believed that it needed to be armel to work. | |
