Hi,

 

Iam wondering if any know what's the best optimizing flags for compiling for a dm800.

I no that dm800 has no fpu support. so the best option for that is -msoft-float i think,

 

But my program (boblight daemon) use a lot of floats.

On a box with FPU support it runs verry wel @ 12-14% cpu.

but on the dm800 (no FPU support) 60-80% idle and 100% when used.

 

Now i use -O2 -msoft-float -pipe.

 

I hope any can help me with this.

Thanks!

 

Kind regards Speedy

You probably won't need all the precision and flexibility of floating points. Consider rewriting the arithmetics using integers and fixed point arithmetics http://en.wikipedia....oint_arithmetic . There are probably useful libraries or macros that you can use.
