Greetings to all debian puzzle solvers incorporated; I once wrote the "debian-10.0.0-arm64-netinst.iso" to an u-sd card, which booted and did a net-install on an rpi-3b but my user software, linuxcnc was built for armhf and would not run.
I'm capable of building that from src, but was not able to satisfy all its dependencies, so gave it up. Apparently the arm64 is not capable of supporting a 32 bit program. This morning I pull a copy of "debian-10.1.0-arm64-netinst.iso" to see if it worked any better, but it makes no attempt to boot when plugged into the pi-3b. That card, plugged back into a reader, looks like this: /dev/sde1 /media/sde1 iso9660 ro,relatime 0 0 /dev/sde2 /media/sde2 vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0 first partition is iso9660 ? Don't recall seeing that before. I also have that in armhf, so I'm about to rewrite that card with it. Was the first install a fluke, or was something changed between 10.0 and 10.1 that would explain the failure? Thanks all.
