From 82c3c47825b25012fef60df0a8a89110337cd40d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 22:49:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] NEWS updates Summarize most ARM11 and Cortex-A8 updates as "acting much more like other ARMs", and mention code sharing. Clarify a few other points, including support for "reset-assert" on all ARMs except Cortex-M (which doesn't exactly need it).
