In this tutorial,
Versatile Express development board for the Cortex-A15.
== Rationale ==
ARMv7 is likely the last purely 32-bit iteration of the ARM architecture, so
processors based on it are likely to be supported the longest. The 'A' profile is
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
most interest to OS developers.
Largely because it's the most powerful ARMv7-A processor supported by QEMU, and it
also has its own development board.
This board was designed by ARM Holdings as a prototyping board, so it makes sense
to target a relatively neutral platform built with the Cortex-A15 in mind.

== Toolchain ==
haven't already. The target platform is <code>arm-none-eabi</code>. You will need at
least [[GAS]], [[GCC]], and [[LD]], but it is also suggested to have [[GDB]], [[Objcopy]], and [[Objdump]].
