Vendors of silicon (SOC) have large companies in line before the small |
| 11 |
companies and open source dev community. Things will change, be patient. |
| 12 |
Do your research, before you purchase the board to ensure it does what |
| 13 |
you want and is compatible with opensource work. There is a lot of |
| 14 |
"smoke and mirrors" out there with 64 bit arm. The best thing to do is |
| 15 |
contact an FAE (Field Application Engineer) from your favorite vendor, |
| 16 |
such as Avnet, TI, Digikey, etc) specifically ask the vendor for open |
| 17 |
source linux stacks which are available and verify the download |
| 18 |
before purchase. |

Here are some keywords (CortexA57, A15, cortex-A15, aarch64, Omap5, |
| 21 |
Omap5430) among other to perform your google searches for 64 bit arm dev |
| 22 |
boards. Also check over at the linaro site. Arndale is very popular, |
| 23 |
but a myriad of SoC vendors have place silicon with various developers |
| 24 |
in many different companies. |

Sorry, I have not kept up with the latest on 64 bit arm development boards. |
