The easiest way to test ARM specific codes on windows
I would like to write an ARM SIMD computer vision code on an intel based windows machine. I would like to know what are the different options for doing that. I know for example that I can run a rasperrpi-emulator on windows, but that's really slow, and not productive. I hope if for example there is an IDE like Visuatl C++ that compiles code for ARM and test it like I'm exactly on an ARM platform without buying a real ARM board CPU.
Is it the only way to achieve that to buy an ARM based board ?
If I'm going to use an Emulator like QEMU, is there a faster or elegant way to develop computer vision software on it ?
I'm targeting ARM11 CPUs, that are quad-cores,..etc. Not the old ARM Architecture like M Series or ARM7.
By far, your best bet in terms of shortening your test-debug-compile cycle will be buying an ARM board and just programming natively on it or will a cross-compiler. I have had good luck with Gumstix, which generally are able to take a Linux distro pretty easily. From there, you have all of your GNU tools and you can just program directly on it.
Answer depends on what you really have as "ARM SIMD" code baseline . Normally ARM SIMD = NEON SIMD extensions.
If this is the case and your NEON codebase is written using NEON intrinsics, then you can try recently introduced " automated porting NEON -> SSE solution ", posted by Intel here.
Looks like easy to use: just include NEONtoSSE.h to your code and re-compile (I expect various C/C++ compilers compatibility).
