Pi 64-bit kernel

[philrandal]

Hi folks,

I'm currently testing Moode with the Pi 64-bit kernel 

It's too early for my cloth-ears to tell if there's any audible difference, but here's the steps required to test it yourself.

You'll need a Pi 3B or later with 64-bit processor (BCM2837 or later).

First update the kernel

Code:

sudo PRUNE_MODULES=1 rpi-update

then shutdown Moode and edit /boot/config.txt adding the line

Code:

arm_64bit=1

Then reboot moode, and if all goes well,

pi@moode:~ $ uname -a

Linux moode 4.19.73-v8+ #1267 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 20 18:14:38 BST 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Note the "v8+" and "aarch64".

It's all working fine on my system so far.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Phil
