[markos]

There is interest in supporting OpenWRT builds as expressed in #153 .
Investigate the effort in adding support for this platform.

I have a PR open now to do just this: openwrt/packages#23904

@graysky2 wow, this is great news! Thank you for your work!

[graysky2]

No problem, thank YOU for your work. Have a look at the commit message in that PR. Your stuff is pretty amazing on that mediatek processor.

[markos]

we're working on more optimizations in general and ofc on arm, progress is slow but steady :)

[graysky2]

Nice. Right now I have vectorscan slated to build for all supported aarch64 SoCs. Can you help me to narrow it down to just the ones that will benefit from it?

• I know from my own testing that mediatek/filogic uses it well.
• I believe both RPi4B and RPi5B (bcm27xx/bcm2711 and bcm27xx/bcm2710)

What else?

[markos]

well, it should work on all aarch64 SoCs. The main requirement is ASIMD/Neon and it's part of all armv8 CPUs right from the start. We're also supporting armv8+SVE and armv9 (SVE2) systems as well, though they are not yet available as commercial products.

That's great, I will leave it as-is (ie all aarch64).
