Any packages compiled for the beagleboards can be installed without optimization. So far, in the case of <code>cdot-beagleXM-0-3</code> packages are compiled without it. In order to make use of ARMv7 architecture features, editing the <code>CFLAGS</code> to use <code>arm</code> optimization options will let the compiler attempt to improve the performance and/or code size of the program.
The goal of this release is to run a benchmark software named [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhrystone Dhrystone] and record the results. Three (3) runs are required: '''No optimization''', '''Optimized for armv5tel''', and '''Optimized for armv7'''. The data gathered can be used as a reference for conducting 0.2 project release.
