Now that Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit is available to RPi3's and RPi4's could we have a 64 bit application for aarch64 for Universe BHspin v2 ????
Would love to continue crunching U@H
I have a RPi3B running 64 bit OS and a RPi4B also.
I'm sure that there are many more Raspberry Pi users out there looking forward to getting more out of their 64 bit processors now that Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit is available and EASY to upgrade to.
The 64 bit OS supports booting from USB devices for greater speed and storage capacity for RPi 2 to 4.
My RPi3B has a 120 GB USB HDD that makes boot time and updates a breeze. The RPi4B has a 480GB SSD with usb adapter.

The only thing missing now is the 64 bit application for aarch64

Please :) and thanks

You know you could always run the available 32 bit application if you just installed the 32 bit armhf libraries as I have done for my Pi4 running 64 bit OS'

I've sent a PM to Krzysztof. Hopefully he'll be able to create an armv8a aarch64 app.

I already have explained that I can't compile aarch64 application as 64bit ARM compiler isn't fully compatible with previous versions.
This means that 64bit ARM will need to keep separate source code fork only for this architecture (including whole process of testing).

I did just that :)

sudo apt install libc6:armhf

At least even as 32 bit the apps finish much quicker.
