Package: armv6k-support (21)

CPU feature checking - require ARMv6K

The packages in the isa-support family probe for microprocessor Instruction Set Architecture features such as SSE3. By refusing to install on machines lacking a required feature, they allow ISA requirements to be handled in terms of package dependencies.

This is a mostly dummy package which checks for ARMv6K and refuses to install on unsupported hardware.

ARMv6k is a subarchitecture of ARMV6 adding Symmetric MultiProcessing and Thread Local Storage instruction sets. It is not guaranteed by the architecture baseline, but is available for newer armel machines in the ARM11 product family; boards include the Raspberry Pi model 1 and Raspberry Pi Zero.
