:[[User:Macmpi|Macmpi]], Please feel free to make necessary amends. As suggested by you, please move necessary device+software information to Pi page and remove those from this page. Previously the information was fragmented on multiple pages. So i consolidated them to a single table so that no information is lost. - [[User:Prabuanand|Prabuanand]] ([[User talk:Prabuanand|talk]]) 14:56, 5 November 2025 (UTC) | :[[User:Macmpi|Macmpi]], Please feel free to make necessary amends.

Revision as of 14:58, 5 November 2025
In fact this matrix mixes 2 dimensions (hardware and kernel builds) which may be a bit confusing from non-Pi ARM users.
Indeed armv7/aarch64 hardware is supported by several kernels: generic upstream (linux-lts/linux-stable) like for all other hardware platforms, and custom Pi (linux-rpi with Pi foundation downstream patches and defconfigs). For armhf it's only Pi.
The matrix as it stands may lead to think ARM is for Pi only, which it is not.
Maybe we should have 2 different matrices: one only on HW for main page (just CPU cores, not talking about defconfigs), and another one on Pi Page that dives into the Pi specific models and defconfigs.
