Just to let you know, I can't get this to work. aarch64 is supposed to be binary compatible, with the correct libraries installed, but I'm thinking the cpu isn't.
All I get is 'cannot execute binary file: Exec format error', regardless of what I try.
As I understand it the problem is page size - 64K was chosen by Red Hat for aarch64, where as 4K is the norm on armv7.
I shall leave this link here without further comment, regarding using pages that are bigger than 4KB: http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/page_sizes.html
Yes, I read that before I reconfigured the kernel, it makes interesting reading.
My needs require me to run 32 bit binaries on my mp30-ar0 (at least in the short to medium term) so I'll use my modified kernel and 4KB pages.
Same here. And the MP30-AR0 just made my shopping list with this case covered. :)
And I say that as a "database person", as per Linus' reference in that link.
