Almost all Armv7-A processors include an FPU (a VFPv3 or a VFPv4). The
difference between the `-eabi` and `-eabihf` targets is whether the FPU is
used for passing function arguments. You may prefer the `-eabi` soft-float
target when the processor does not have a floating point unit or the compiled
code should not use the floating point unit.
When using the hardfloat targets, the minimum floating-point features assumed
are those of the `vfpv3-d16`, which includes single- and double-precision,
with 16 double-precision registers. This floating-point unit appears in
Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A8 processors. See [VFP in the Cortex-A processors][vfp]
for more details on the possible FPU variants.
are those of the VFPv3-D16, which includes single- and double-precision, with
16 double-precision registers. This floating-point unit appears in Cortex-A8
and Cortex-A9 processors. See [VFP in the Cortex-A processors][vfp] for more
details on the possible FPU variants.
If your processor supports a different set of floating-point features than the
default expectations of `vfpv3-d16`, then these should also be enabled or
default expectations of VFPv3-D16, then these should also be enabled or
disabled as needed with `-C target-feature=(+/-)`.
In general, the following four combinations are possible:
- VFPv3-D16, target feature `+vfp3` and `-d32`
- VFPv3-D32, target feature `+vfp3` and `+d32`
- VFPv4-D16, target feature `+vfp4` and `-d32`
- VFPv4-D32, target feature `+vfp4` and `+d32`
An Armv7-A processor may optionally include a NEON hardware unit which
provides Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) operations. The
implementation of this unit implies VFPv3-D32. The target feature `+neon` may
be added to inform the compiler about the availability of NEON.
You can refer to the [arm-none-eabi](arm-none-eabi.md) documentation for a
generic guide on target feature and target CPU specification and how to enable
and disable them via `.cargo/config.toml` file.

## Start-up and Low-Level Code
The [Rust Embedded Devices Working Group Arm Team] maintain the [`cortex-ar`]
and [`cortex-a-rt`] crates, which may be useful for writing bare-metal code
using this target. Those crates include several examples which run in QEMU and
build using these targets.

## Requirements
When using the big-endian version of this target, note that some variants of
the Cortex-R have both big-endian instructions and data. This configuration is
known as BE-32, while data-only big-endianness is known as BE-8. To build
programs for BE-32 processors, the GNU linker must be used with the `-mbe32`
option. See [ARM Cortex-R Series Programmer's Guide: Endianness][endianness]
for more details about different endian modes.
