I see now that there is plan9/arm in tip (1.7), but not 1.6.
I tried a bootstrapped version on my RPi but it fails with a "fork/exec ...
virtual memory allocation failed” error when I try to compile anything.
According to stats I have plenty of memory left when it runs. I’m not sure what
to mak
I think Richards' CL's were submitted to main Go repo before Go 1.6 and are
now in 1.7 dev branch (tip). I believe I first saw the announcement on
godev list. as a Go user, it is a good way of keeping up with the
fast-paced development; e.g. IBM's linux/s390x port went in today!
I usually keep one
Skip, isn't the point here that being able to run go binaries
in Plan 9 on an arm machine is news to most Plan 9 users?
Perhaps even news to those who regularly use go on Plan 9.

Thanks,
I'll give it a shot.
I noticed that there are some assembly files in golang for plan9/386 and no
equivalent for plan9/arm so I assumed that it wouldn't work with that
combination.

i've not built Go under plan9/arm. however, in practice (in a real Plan 9
environment) this is not an issue. the way authentication and namespaces
(including file server) work in a Plan 9 envrionment, it is natural to use
the fastest cpu available to (cross) compile apps. typical sessions are

I've managed to get Go running on an RPi2 using a similar method, but:
1. You need to make sure you're using go-tip. <= 1.6 doesn't have Plan9/arm
support.
2. I had to apply this patch that Richard Miller sent me to my kernel:
term% diff /n/sources/contrib/miller/9/bcm/mem.h /sys/src/9/bcm/mem.h
Hi Skip,
Have you managed to get Go running on an RPi this way?
Cheers,

Yes, this works and is the easier of the two methods. Using a desktop OS
and starting no Go compilers:
1. download the Go 1.6 binaries for your desktop OS and install them; set
GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to that directory (e.g. /usr/local/go)
2. copy the Go 1.6 sources (either the tar.gz or git clone of s
