Arm64 Port: How to get sid?
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54FB9)
Complete debian newbie warning!
Are there Any 'sid' (see warning above) releases of arm64, preferably binary Images. Binary images are the preferred way to go, as you're installing to micro sdcard.
I'm looking to properly dress my RazPi 64bit, and Debian seems like the best option. I found a "Raspberrry pi" version of Buster in the Pi forums, which is a beta of Buster rebadged and decorated with a few raspberries
Installing to the Raspberry Pi is a HUGE PITA, because you have to load firmware for the gpu, then all of it's many surviving relatives, then set stuff up according to a file in Broadcom-speak called 'config.txt,' then the kernel boot options (cmdline.txt), after which you finally get to load the kernel. There's a github site aimed at the /boot directory run by broadcom.
I gather sid is unstable, testing, rolling-release type of thing that will have the latest software. The good thing about arm64 is that it can use the FPU (hard float), the bad thing is that there's no software out there yet that you can grab.
