“The port of IPFire contains all of the same features as the
standard full releases, but can be run on any Marvel Kirkwood
system-on-a-chip (SoC) – such as that found in the SheevaPlug
– or compatible ARM-based processor. According to Project
Leader Michael Tremer, the team had one Dreamplug from Globalscale
donated to them for development and building the code for the
ARMv5tel platform. The developers expect to release another version
for ARMv7hl, which includes embedded hardware floating point
support, ‘in the near future’.”
