That really does depend; there are a couple of issues:

  1) Which ARM is in the eval kit? It could be a rare
     and mythical ARM1 which has a few things different from the ARM2
     onwards (in particular the multiply missing and I think some
exception handling a little different).
  2) OS and SWIs - While I suspect the handful of minimal swis are the
same I wouldn't be so sure about the rest of them.
