I'm having trouble finding an Aarch64 image for a Raspberry Pi 3. The Raspberry Pi 3 was selected as a test device because its ARMv8.
Does Cent have any Aarch64 images for the Model 3?
There is no ARMv8 support for the raspberry pi3 as far as I know, there are some efforts to try and get its bootloader (?) and display (?) which are 32bit only, mapped in - but most of those efforts seem to have stalled. My info might be a bit dated now, but I've not seen much change in that space since May this year.
The RaspberryPi foundation folks have publicly stated that while they wont stop community doing the engineering to get the work done to boot a 64bit distro, they are not going to support the effort themselves nor actually participate in anyway.
It seems the community has gotten some work done to make this happen,
Where is this work happening ? I cant seem to find any mention beyond 'the 32bit firmware cant boot a 64bit kernel, so there needs to be some magic in the kernel to switch, and noone is keen on doing that work' ( this is across many threads on the rpi site itself. Their own github issues seem to also be stalled with no real activity there.
Some of it went into u-boot's upstream already -> http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-April/250315.html
And also kraxel has fedora arm64 images now -> https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2016/04/fedora-on-raspberry-pi-updates/
