Additional detail on the ARM architecture targeted by each +is provided below. + +The following extra files can be found in the download directory or torrent: + +- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz`: Linux binaries targeting + the 32-bit ARMv7-A architecture. +- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz`: Linux binaries targeting + the 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture. + +ARM builds are still experimental. If you have problems on a certain device or +Linux distribution combination please report them on the bug tracker, it may be +possible to resolve them. Note that the device you use must be (backward) +compatible with the architecture targeted by the binary that you use. +For example, a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (in its 32-bit +execution state) device, can run the 32-bit ARMv7-A targeted binary. However, +no model of Raspberry Pi 1 device can run either binary because they are all +ARMv6 architecture devices that are not compatible with ARMv7-A or ARMv8-A. + +Note that Android is not considered ARM Linux in this context. The executables +are not expected to work out of the box on Android. + + 0.13.1 Change log =================
