Yoyo: M Queens for arm64

[zombie67]

Well nuts. The 32bit raspbian OS mis-identifies the CPU as ARMv7 instead of ARMv8 which is what the RP4 has. Which means that BOINC tells projects that it has the wrong CPU. And I can't find a 64 bit linux. Ubuntu hasn't released their OS for RP4 yet. No ETA either. I think I just bought an expensive paper weight.

Check Aarch64. Waiting for Raspbian could take years.

I installed Arch. But it also seems to report to BOINC ARMv7.

Although now that I look at your post again, I see you spell it with two "a"s. I assumed it was a typo. I googled Aarch64, but I don't understand the results. Are you talking about a flavor of linux or a package to install or...?

Yes, Aarch wasn't a typo, however now that i'm looking at it again, i can't find the same info i found when i originally posted it. There's a Gentoo 64 that also works but might need a few tweaks. I don't have a RP4 though. Was just trying to be helpful.
