the "as said before" was referring to some other mails years ago. iirc, something that triggered https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2019-06/125453.html
You said it yourself that we should use *armv8* for the 32 bit variant (Linux-armv8-32), and *aarch64* for this other one. We're also agreeing *armv8*/Linux-armv8-32 is pointless. So I guess you mean armv8 as (Linux-arm64-32) and *aarch64*.
no. i'm pretty sure i meant 32bit arm architectures. i think the main concern is the speed-boost between armv6 vs armv7.the latter has (usually) better support for (single precision) floating point math, and might give a significant speed gain when doing signal processing.
otoh, it might not be able to fully utilize the additional instruction set if there's no explicit code for it (as would be typical for pd-extenrals)
(see also http://single-boards.com/armv6-vs-armv7/) that's why i keep mentioning benchmarks.the armv7 vs armv8 (aarch32!) debate is basically the same, though i guess(!) speed improvements might not be as prominent.
Now, my understanding is that *aarch64* can't run anything else other than this... can it run *armv6* and *armv7*?
can you run intel/32bit externals on your intel/64bit mac book? yescan you run intel/32bit externals within your Pd-intel/64bit on that same mac book? no
