Hi Bill, Sandro,

Ubuntu has an ARMv8 (arm64) distro. I can't say off-hand that I know anyone using it in ham radio, mostly server based applications.

My PPA has been building the ARMv8 (arm64) package for a while now. Again, I don't know if anyone is installing it, but the *.deb package is there nonetheless.

Link to Packages, Bionic is the latest:

I think that is a 32 bit version for raspbian, not for the 64 bits.

I am correct ?

Thanks

Hi Sandro,

you are quite correct. The ARM version of WSJT-X is 32-bit. My mistake as at the time it was rolled out I was working on a large commercial project porting software to ARM 64-bit and I had the AArch64 architecture high on my brain stack ;)

If someone wished to run 64-bit WSJT-X on an ARM processor, including the Raspberry Pi models 2 and 3, they could install a 64-bit o/s that provides ARM support such  as OpenSUSE Linux (maybe CentOS as well) then build WSJT-X from sources. I would be surprised if it was not straightforward. Our package maintainers may already be doing so.
