Hi, I'd like to play around with pharo on ARM devices (like a HummingBoard, the ones from ODROID or one of the beagleboards). But I am not sure if I have to take care of the ARM architecture version (ARMv6 / ARMv7 / ARMv8) when choosing my toy.
I found this vm: http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur32/linux/armv6/ Is it only for armv6 like the folder name says or is ARMv7 and ARMv8 working too?
Are there any limitations I should know before choosing a ARM device?
Is there a vm for 64bit (aarch64)?
Hi Albrecht, I am also interested in this answer. In general, I am interested in IoT support for Smalltalk. The only thing I found aside from ARMv6 is this: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/Cog/build.linux32ARMv... But I don't know what's the status of it. You may have more chances to get an answer with the vm list: <vm-dev@lists.squeakfoundation.org> Or maybe Pharo dev list.

AFAIK the armv7 is in the works, being the limitant now the FFI support? But not sure :) Esteban
