Changes

ARM chips are the most popular CPU produced -- approximately 1.6 5 billion are being made each year. These are being sold under a number of different brand names (ARM, StrongARM, Armada, Cortex, OMAP, Sheeva, Snapdragon, XScale) by a number of different manufacturers. Most of these are going into cellphones, but hundreds of millions are being used in other devices such as routers, NAS boxes, embedded controllers, tablets, and netbooks.

The [http://www.laptop.org One Laptop Per Child ] (OLPC) computers, model XO-1.75, use an ARM processor. Since Fedora is used on the XO units, having a reliable ARM build of Fedora is increasingly important.

We're going to set up a Koji build system for ARM. Initially this will be based on the [[CDOT Development Systems|CDOT system]] [http://hongkong.proximity.on.ca/ HongKong]. Initial We have 7 hardware ARM builders will use QEMU emulation, which will be replaced by at present (see [[Fedora ARM Secondary Architecture/ARM hardware|ARM Hardware]] when it arrives).

After setting up NFS on your VM, please enable it (or ping someone on IRC to enable it for you).
