Switching to 64 bit Raspbian Linux is a snap
Have you been itching to do 64 Bit ARM assembly program like I have on your Raspberry Pi? I’ll bet you have.
I mean, the thing has to be useful for SOMETHING right?
Most Raspbian installs are still on 32 bits, but switching is easy. Make backups and all that and then do:
rpi-update
Then edit /boot/config.txt and add:
[pi]
arm_64bit=1
Reboot
That’s all there is to it.
Of you do a
uname -m
and see something with v 8 (not 7), you’re done. Onto 64 bit assembly coding!
