Starting with v1.42.0, the SNPE SDK doesn't include the V60 DSP libs, does this mean that V60 hardware is stuck forever with SNPE v1.41.0? Or is there another way to enable support for older hardware?

Could someone from Qualcomm confirm this? Whether the support has been dropped or it's possible to make run new versions on older hardware, it might be really helpful to document it somewhere.

Thanks,

Considering that:

- I can't use the DSP runtime with any SDK starting with  v1.42.0 on my S820Am board, which includes an Hexagon 680 DSP which supports the V60 instruction set (see this thread for all the details: https://developer.qualcomm.com/forum/qdn-forums/software/qualcomm-neural...). SDKs priori this one work fine on this board.

- Looking at the revision history (here: https://developer.qualcomm.com/docs/snpe/revision_history.html), "Removed V60 DSP libs from SNPE SDK." is listed under version 1.42.0.

- Indeed, starting with v1.42.0, the SDL libs/dsp folder contains less files than prior SDKs.

I think the support for V60 has been indeed dropped. I don't see any way for old DSPs to run the new SDK but I'd like Qualcomm to confirm it.
