ARM 32-bit download

I have a 32-bit ARMv7-r Raspberry Pi. I made me a bootable memory card with Manjaro XFCE Generic, but my RaspBerry won’t boot.

The file name of the .img file doesn’t report if the image is for 32-bit raspberries, or for 64-bit ones only.

Am I using the correct image, and if not, which one should I install?

I’m afraid Manjaro has for a while already stopped offering any 32-bit install images. We’re all 64-bit now. :man_shrugging:

:..( :sad_but_relieved_face:

Any other lightweight 32-bit distro recommendations?

Well, 32-bit support is becoming rarer and rarer these days, and ARM is a whole different beast altogether, but but there are still some 32-bit ARM distributions around.

The link below should provide you with some guidance, even though not all of the listed distributions support 32-bit — for one, Manjaro is listed there too, and as 64-bit-only. :backhand_index_pointing_down:

Thank you for pointing out that site to me! I’ll be looking into it some more…

I put the memory card into an ARMv8 Raspberry now, but somehow, it still doesn’t boot. Even while the card was written with Cinnamon’s Bootable USB Image Writer.

Well, best would be to start a separate topic about that, here under the ARM category. I myself am not an ARM specialist, but somebody with more ARM experience will undoubtedly stumble upon your thread. :wink:

Will do.

Thank you again for your time, and do enjoy your weekend!

Take the list with a pinch of salt, aside from the general ‘ai written slop’ of their articles, there are several inaccuracies, regarding Arch Linux ARM in particular

Supports armv5, armv6, armv7, and armv8 (aarch64) — covering everything from Raspberry Pi Zero to 64-bit SBCs.

Runs on Raspberry Pi (all models), Odroid, RockPro64, Pine64, and other custom ARM boards.

No longer supports armv5 and armv6 for years now, so no support for original Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Zero, their website don’t specify the RockPro64 in platform
