armel / armhf

리눅스에서 arm 아키텍쳐를 지칭하는 말인데

armhf는 arm Hard Float의 약자인건 확인이 되는데 반해

armel은 약자가 확인이 되지 않는다.

개인적인 추측으로는..

arm emulated 이 아닐까 싶지만..

이렇게 약자를 만드는건 극히 드물테니.. 멀려나?

The armel architecture supports the ARMv4 instruction set.

The armhf architecture supports ARMv7 platform, and more, it adds direct hardware floating-point support.

In Debian Linux and derivatives armhf (ARM hard float) refers to the ARMv7 architecture including the additional VFP3-D16 floating-point hardware extension (and Thumb-2) above.

Software packages and cross-compiler tools use the armhf vs. arm/armel suffixes to differentiate.

두둥! arm endian little / big 인 듯?

Name of the port

The table below recaps which port names Debian/dpkg saw so far.

name	endianess	status
arm	little-endian	Original Debian arm port using original ABI ('OABI'), last release in Debian lenny; being retired in favor of armel
armel	little-endian	introduced in Debian lenny; EABI, actively maintained; targets armv4t; doesn't require an FPU
armeb	big-endian	unofficial OABI port; inactive and dead
