Description

The world of system-on-chip computing has changed drastically over the past years with the current state being much more diverse as the industry keeps moving to 64-bit processors, to little-endian addressing, to larger memory capacities, and to a small number of instruction set architectures.

In this presentation, I discuss how and why these changes happen, and how we can find a balance between keeping older technologies working for those that rely on them, and identifying code that has reached the end of its useful life and should better get removed.
