    v13 v14  
    2424== Compatibility with BOINC on Android ==
    2525
    26 Caution: BOINC on Android runs on all ARM based Android devices.
    27 The minimum requirement is therefore ARM ABIv5.
    28 Higher ABIs or specific CPU capabilities might only be available
     26BOINC on Android runs on all Android devices, regardless of its CPU architecture.
     27Possible architectures are ARM, x86 and MIPS. ARM is the predominant platform on Android.
     28
     29Even within ARM, higher ABIs or specific CPU capabilities might only be available
    2930on a subset of volunteer's devices.
    30 It is the project's responsibility to ensure,
    31 that distributed BOINC apps meet these requirements.
    32 The client reports CPU capabilities, i.e. VFP and NEON support, to the project server.
    33 It is recommended to have a fallback version for ARM ABIv5,
    34 since not all devices might have higher ABIs available.
