#1 64-bit SBCs
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2016 4:28 pm
The 64-bit ARM chips are being pushed to the market, just like a few years ago with the x86 architecture. What can you buy?
64-bit ARM
To be save, partition SD cards bigger than 32 GB into 32 GB partitions with 32k sectors, and do that at least with the boot partition.
For some reason the SBCs seem confined to the Cortex-A53, we're still awaiting the advent of the more powerful Cortex-A57 and A72 boards.
