ARMUtils - some Unix commands written in ARM assembly language |

Old code inspired by http://asm.sourceforge.net/asmutils.html |
| 6 |
dug out of backups and finally published 8 years after registering |
| 7 |
the sf.net armutils project. |

This was my small contribution to the geographically distributed, |
| 10 |
loosely coordinated, selfless and unintentional community effort |
| 11 |
of clueless hacker-wannabes towards making SF a central repository |
| 12 |
of unfinished, orphaned or not even started open source pet-projects, |
| 13 |
for which I am sorry. |

It contains a few dumb clones of UNIX commands written for ARM Linux |
| 16 |
in ARM assembly language, currently cat, head, tail, kill, ln, mkdir, |
| 17 |
mount, ping, swapon, and a very simple HTTP server. |
| 18 |
They have educational value at most, you should use busybox if you really |
| 19 |
want small footprint but reasonable functionality. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
They were developed on an Intel StrongARM board and there was a cross-building |
| 22 |
attempt as well as you can see in the Makefiles. Feel free to update them |
| 23 |
for newer ARM Linux hardware if you have some, figure out step 2, then profit. |

Do not mail me for support though, I have mostly forgotten this and haven't |
| 26 |
worked with ARM for years. |
