Hi to all.

I have a question regarding convergence. My apollogies if is too basic but
I' m not a developer!

I undrestood the convergence target is like a unique code for all the
devices.

That should mean that any application should work independently if is being
used on a tablet, phone or PC.

However, each device may have a different processor architechture (i.e. ARM
or x86).

So, a binary compiled for a certain processor architecture will only work
on it.

Is there, then, the possibility of using the same code for more than one
architecture or needs to be different? I mean, using it for several
architectures is just a matter of the compiler?

Thanks in advance.
Marcos
