Hi folks,

As you probably don't know (although you will now), Developer Support is
coming back, albeit in a slightly different guise.

We already have a password-protected WWW site which has access restricted to
registered developers, which contains all manner of odd bits and pieces
which developers would find useful; this includes a reasonable quantity of
example source code, although much of this is now rather old.

What I'm wondering is whether you have any code fragments, library routines
etc which you think would be suitable for upload to this site so that
developers can refer to them as examples. I'm not after anything too
elaborate; the brief is "small bits of generic code, abstractable from
whichever project, which perform some useful function but do not impinge on
ART IPR." Fragments can be in any language; if enough find their way to me
from you guys and the developers (I'll be asking them for such things too),
I'm hoping that we could wind up with an ART equivalent of the ARM Cookbook
for internal and developer reference.

An ideal example, which I've yanked out of an old app and am prepared to
use, is a piece of assembler which interrogates a CPU to determine whether
it's an ARM2, ARM3, ARM610 or whatever; other things along these lines would
be very welcome.

Cheers,

Dave
