I would be interested in helping out with a Haiku ARM port, as I know
ARM assembly code and rather enjoy working with it.

I wrote an AES hard disk drive encryptor in a mixture of ARM and Thumb
assembly once, that ran entirely onboard the ARM7TDMI-based Oxford 911
FireWire/IDE bridge chip.

I've never tried it, but I understand that one can emulate ARM PCs with QEMU.

ARM is also *extremely* important for embedded applications - I read
once that Intel actually sold more ARM chips than x86.  The reason
they make more money from x86 is because they cost more than ARMs do.

I understand that the iPhone runs an ARM port of Mac OS X, for
example.  And all the iPods are ARM-powered.

However, I'm up to my eyeballs in work, so I don't know how much time
I can really commit.  I do know that the work would be good for my
potential employability as an embedded developer.

Mike
