AArch64 code execution on Raspberry Pi3.

Hello everybody,

does everyone know whether Raspberry Pi3 can execute 64bit applications?

Even reading some articles, I am uncertain the following things.

Please let me know the answers.

1. Is Raspbian for Raspberry Pi3 compiled by AArch64 architecture?

2. Does the compiler of Raspbian for Raspberry Pi3 generate AArch64 codes?

3. Otherwise, can only AArch32 codes be executable on Raspbian for Raspberry Pi3?

Thank you in advance and best regards,

Yasuhiko Koumoto.

  • Hello all,

    I have gotten the answer from the Raspberry Forum.

    At this time, I find there is no 64 bit OS which can be run on Raspberry Pi3.

    The people in the forum seems to think there will be little benefits with the 64 bit operation.

    Therefore, the reason of adopting  the 64 bit core seems to that they want the faster clock speed.

    Best regards,
