I've seen this trail. But I'm not sure what you are trying to do. If it's to
port occam to ARM - good idea.

The best way to do this is to retarget the back-end of the occam
compiler. You'll also need a runtime for the scheduling instructions.

Yes, that's the best way. The quickest way will probably be to use our old SPoC occam2 to C translator. No need to worry about instruction sets and a built-in runtime. I can probably resurrect it quite quickly.

It does rely on some rather old (Cocktail) tools, but that shouldn't be a big problem.

If anyone wants it, I'll dust off the old code and take a look.
