"32bit Arm is going away." Unlikely for embedded.

• ajb 2y ago
  It's true in context. 32bit is going away for the class of device most people would run riscos on.

    At the same time, many AArch64 implementations will run a 32-bit kernel. Granted, some do not. Fujitsu's supercomputer comes to mind.

      Yeah. It turns out, even Arm's A76, which is what the raspberry pi 5 uses, doesn't support a 32 bit kernel: https://www.theregister.com/2018/05/31/arm_cortex_a76/ https://www.theregister.com/2018/05/31/arm_cortex_a76/ That's no doubt why this is a big issue for ROOL, as the pi is one of the main things they run on. Very few people would buy something just to run RiscOS so they need a relatively common platform.
