Oooh Chris71 do document how to install ALARM on this baby. I might want to get a Pi 3 to play around with.

You mean this? https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... berry-pi-3

Please _try_ to pay attention.

Got mine yesterday. The image works fine except for Wifi as mentioned in another thread, although I haven't really given a serious try.

Does anyone know if there are any successful attempts at a ARMv8 kernel? I also couldn't find any other distros yet.

[WarheadsSE]

Their sources quite literally fail because the code has not been put in place for it to be handled as an ARMv8 processor. End of line.

I can't seem to find any info on this: does the bootloader at least allow loading an ARMv8 kernel/bare-metal application?

Edit: Some info, but not entirely clear https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/550

There is a config.txt entry to make the ARM start in 64-mode.

Do I have to quote myself again? Their kernel (at least on gitbug, and public) does not yet even compile for ARMv8!
