Révolution pi 64bit?

[ramzi]

I use a revolution pi connect but I don't know if there is a 64bit version.
I saw that the official 64bit version has been deployed but I don't know if it is compatible with the revolution pi, some help?

Hi ramzi,

there is not official arm64 image yet. It is something we are working on but I cannot give an ETA on this. But if you're interested you can test with a 64 Kernel yourself, by using the 64 bit build which was introduced in our kernel bakery a few days ago: https://github.com/RevolutionPi/kernelbakery

We have integrated a 64-bit verison on our RevPi Connect+ and are following the suggested steps: https://github.com/RevolutionPi/kernelbakery

OS : Debian bullseye-arm64
Kernel version : 5.15.74-v8+

Intended use (64-bit kernel) :

Code: Select all

apt-get install device-tree-compiler
apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu
apt-get install build-essential:native debhelper quilt bc
apt-get install bison flex libssl-dev rsync git
git clone -b revpi-5.10 https://github.com/RevolutionPi/linux
git clone -b master https://github.com/RevolutionPi/piControl
git clone -b master https://github.com/RevolutionPi/kernelbakery
cd kernelbakery
ARCH=arm64 LINUXDIR=$PWD/../linux PIKERNELMODDIR=$PWD/../piControl debian/update.sh

|

After that, we get an error.

Any help ? We will be pleased to share our procedure once everything works !

The instructions from the README work on my machine without any error (amd64 / Debian Bullseye). I have not tested this on a raspberry as we usually do crossbuilds on more powerful amd64 machines.

Hi Nicolai,

Would it be possible to test these instructions on a Revpi connect+ instead? We have a working backup of RevPi 64bit if you want to test it faster.

Please let us know and we will share it!

Thx

Hi,

I just check one a Raspberry Pi 4 running the latest Bullseye 64 image and it works as described in the README - with and without cross compiling (prepend 'CROSS_COMPILE= ' before ARCH).
So I guess there is something wrong with your cloned repositories and would suggest to start fresh. In order to make things a bit more clear, I also restructured the README file in the kernelbakery repository.
