Chromium-OS Freescale i.MX6 Dual Cortex-A9 - arm

i'm looking for help to compile and run Chromium-os on a freescale i.mx6 dual core.
any one know how to do this?
Thanks! :)

if you are using the yocto project you may try using this layer:

Where can I get a ARMv 8.5 device for some academic experiments

I am very interested in the memory tagging feature enabled by ARM v8.5. However, I just have no idea from where I can get a device enabled this very new feature. Could anyone shed some lights on this? Thanks a lot.
I am not sure there is any easily available silicon implementing v8.5 for the time being, I would rather suggest experimenting with the Armv8-A Base Platform FVP: it does support version 8.5.

how to use CMUsphinx with ARM microcontrollers?

I just searched about an open-source library to use of my project to build a voice controlled robot and found CMUsphinx. but my robot will build on ARM based microcontroller and I have not Linux or Windows on it. Is it possible to use CMUsphinx on ARM based microcontrollers? How can I do it?
Is there any better options instead of using CMUsphinx on ARM uControllers?
Actually, you can use a variant of CMUSphinx, known as PocketSphinx, on ARM devices. Most resources focus on Raspberry Pi, as it's a very popular ARM target.
The instructions for installing on a Raspberry Pi are here:
http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/2016/06/should-you-select-raspberry-pi-3-or-raspberry-pi-b-for-cmusphinx/
There's a voice assistant for Raspberry Pi that uses CMUSphinx:
http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/2014/04/jasper-personal-assistant-for-raspberry-pi/comment-page-1/
And, there's a recent blog post about running on the Raspberry Pi here:
http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/2016/06/should-you-select-raspberry-pi-3-or-raspberry-pi-b-for-cmusphinx/
Is it possible to use CMUsphinx on ARM based microcontrollers?
No, it's not possible to use CMUSphinx on microcontrollers.
but my robot will build on ARM based microcontroller
Consider using more powerful CPU, it will help you with other tasks like navigation or network sync as well.

C Programming - Accessing USB Data / Driver Specifics

I am writing some simple test automation to access the USB port in Ubuntu, and determine driver specific details, devices that are connected, and operating mode (USB 2 , 3 , etc ...).
I have not done any development in this area, and was looking for advice on libraries / recommendations to accomplish this.
Thank you for you help!
Dan.
I've done this using libusb. You can get get started here. http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/ If you're just looking at seeing various usb devices, it's pretty easy. Here are some examples that you can get up and running pretty quickly: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/148707-introduction-to-using-libusb-10/
I found the sourceforge info useful, but could not get the install to work in Ubuntu.
After some searching, I found Libusb and how to use its packages in Ubuntu
This appears to resolve my issue; plus interesting point about using usb.h instead of libusb.h to compile.
Thanks for all the input!

Basic ARM application in Xilinx Zynq SoC

I am new to Xilinx Zynq SoC. Zynq has ARM(dual cores). I am curious if it is possible to run program C/C++ program only on ARM processors without using the FPGA fabric. My research could not helped much.
IF yes, I would like to know some basic steps that I need to follow to achieve the goal.
Yes, you can run your own application code without using the FPGA fabric.
You can download the xilinx SDK http://www.xilinx.com/tools/sdk.htm and start by trying some of the hello world projects available. Adding a FPGA bitstream is optional.
Follow the Tutorial by Xilinx.

It is clearly stated in section 5.2.4.
Thanks.

Which ARM processor should be used for transfering data via ethernet?

The question below was related to the 8051 family as it has only the serial ports. Now when i found out that the ARM processors have inbuilt ethernet facility i decided to mov on to the ARM's. So which would be the Most easiest one to start of and as iam aware of keil environment i would like to work on anARM which supports keil .
Thnxx,
Cheers.
The TI (formerly Luminary Micro) parts are easy to use. The eval kits are cheap and there is a lot of documentation on the Luminary Micro web site, including sample code. I've been using the LM3S6965 EVK for an ethernet project. The eval kits can be ordered with Keil, IAR, Codesourcery or Code Red compilers.
Check out the AT91SAM7X.
AT91 SAM series from Atmel is really popular between hobbyists and amateurs, you will find a lot of open source examples and excessive topics regarding this CPU's. And yes, they are widely supported in Linux community.
