So for now it is a "64 bit" system on paper only?
- rasz_pl 11y agoI guess your laptop is also '64 bit system on paper only', it boots in 16 bit real mode after all.
- JosephRedfern 11y agoRaspbian isn't the only OS available for the Pi. Also, a 32bit Userland doesn't mean you can't run 64bit software, does it? Doesn't it just suggest that pre-installed applications (and apt repositories) are 32bit?
- keenerd 11y agoI asked around. It is likely you would need a chroot or at least special multilib/multiarch packages installed. The Debian Wiki has more details: https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port
- olympus 11y agoNo, it is an actual 64 bit system. There is a huge difference between a CPU that can run 64 bit code and just hasn't had any compiled for it and a CPU that will never be able to run 64 bit code. As the RasPi foundation investigates this "over the next few months" there will inevitably be other people who release 64 bit builds for anyone who needs the extra oomph.
- keenerd 11y agoThat was why I said "for now". You know it does take time to work out the kinks for a new SoC. No one has yet.
