| Have you been itching to do 64 Bit ARM assembly program like I have on your Raspberry Pi? I'll bet you have. I mean, the thing has to be useful for SOMETHING right? Most Raspbian installs are still on 32 bits, but switching is easy. Make backups and all that and then do: rpi-update Then edit /boot/config.txt and add: [pi] arm_64bit=1 Reboot That's all there is to it. Of you do a uname -m and see something with v 8 (not 7), you're done. Onto 64 bit assembly coding!
