ARM64 Driver Raspberry Pi OS 64/Debian

Post by benure »

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any progress in the adoption of the ARM64 driver for the Raspberry Pi OS 64.

Most SBC now only provides 64 OS.

Is there a way to access the source code? Maybe I can try to compile it myself? Do any knows of a way to install the drivers on a 64 OS?

It been a year since I asked about this but haven't heard anything new.

Yes, we have a lot of requests for arm64 drivers for using with raspberry pi 4 and other boards.
Adding arm64 drivers is a feature Pico would like to add, but there is time line on when this will happen.

The driver code is proprietary code.
You could try the 64-bit version of Raspbian as I think it supports multiarch, so the armfh packages won't be supported, but I have not tested this.

Hi Andrew,

can you give a rough timeline on arm64?

We are on an arm64 OS too, and the current workaround with the armhf package does work, but it is quite a disadvantage because it adds a lot of other armhf dependencies which then collide with arm64 packages I'd need.

Thanks a lot,
Simon
