Improvements in the Examples include:
A new Cortex-A9 version of the "Cached Dhrystone" example code, which comprises the standard Dhrystone code, plus additional routines to initialise the caches and MMU.
The "Cached Dhrystone" example code for other processors is revised to run on latest software models and current real hardware, e.g. Versatile AB926, PB1176.
New example Linux applications that demonstrate the interoperation between RVCT and the GNU toolchain and GNU libraries, for building applications and shared libraries to run on Linux. The revised Application Note 212 "Building Linux Applications Using RVCT 4.0 and the GNU Tools and Libraries" is also included.
The "MMUgen" utility is updated to support the generation of MMU page table entries for ARM v6 and v7 cached cores, in addition to the v4 & v5 support of the previous version.
The DCC examples have been updated for use on the latest processors
Application Note 133 "Using VFP with RVDS", revised for the latest processors, is also included.
