I think the most interesting point about this board is that it is a rather inexpensive arm64. That said, the remaining parameters don't match up for a 64bit system, so I guess it is just good for the purpose of doing arm64 as such. But from what I've read the official images for the board are just running a 32bit Linux kernel. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
