Is the OpenCV 2 framework available for armv6?

Question

I'm using OpenCV for one of my project for which I cannot afford to drop the armv6 devices. For some reason, the official framework built for iOS seems to only support armv7 and x86. Would it be possible to build this lib for armv6 + armv7?

Thanks in advance for any hints or help.

Answer 1

As Andrey mentioned there is no official ARMv6 support.

But take a look at this blog post (it's pretty old): Computer vision with iOS Part 1: Building an OpenCV framework, which will give you a good starting point. Also check out an older Version of the buildscript to see what has changed since ARMv6 support was dropped.

Another thing you should take into account is your deployment target, because iOS 4.3+ requires ARMv7. Should that be the case just go with the official build.

ARMv7s = iPhone 5  
ARMv7  = iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod 3G/4G/5G, iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3  
ARMv6  = iPhone 2G/3G, iPod 1G/2G

Answer 2

Official distribution does not support armv6. But it should be possible to hack and rebuild the framework with armv6 support.
