Neon and vfpv3 supports?

Products Support Rock960
#1

I installed ubuntu server on my Rock960 and run “sudo lshw -C cpu” and there is no neon or vfpv3 supports, is it normal ? Thanks

/proc/cpuinfo is not a portable way of detecting CPU features, ARMv8 64-bit kernel uses ‘asimd’ for advanced SIMD support, while ARMv7-A 32-bit kernel uses ‘neon’.

Please look at https://community.arm.com/android-community/b/android/posts/runtime-detection-of-cpu-features-on-an-armv8-a-cpu

Thanks Loic. Do you happen to know a reference to compile opencv for Rock960 that use all the optimized feature ?

I think this is normal, yes.

Here, fp means you have FPU support and asimd means you have NEON.

Sorry… I seem to have posted a reply to an already solved issue. Sorry for the noise. Loic’s reply is better than mine!
