I will try this out this week (and upgrade linux_rpi to a matching tag as well).

@dezgeg Is linux_rpi the recommended kernel to use on RPi3 on aarch64? The wiki mentions to use linux_latest.

No, linux_rpi doesn't support AArch64 at all.

Yeah that is really weird, the firmware is also only arm32 :( I wanted to compile some programs against the firmware, but that will/does not work on aarch64.

Note that the userspace binaries and libraries are now compiled from source in a separate raspberrypi-tools package, which does build on AArch64: 434722b. Their build system still disables some stuff when compiling on AArch64, though.

@dezgeg ohh nice, did not know that! Maybe we should then drop the stuff in hardfp/opt/vc in the firmware package. And raspberry-tools should maybe be split up into tools and libs. I wanted to compile https://github.com/thaytan/gst-rpicamsrc and that requires the libmmal and other stuff from the raspberry pi libraries. However, I did not know that the raspberry-tools contains these libraries.

It is dropped on master.

And raspberry-tools should maybe be split up into tools and libs.

That is probably not feasible given that it's one CMake project that builds both of them. But if you do know a better name than raspberrypi-tools (or a name that some other distro uses for them) we can still rename the package.

Hmm okay, I see. Yeah I will think about that.
