I recently got a dragonboard 410c, the first sub-$100 64-bit ARM board
I'm aware of.
There were a few small problems running LinuxCNC (in non-realtime
fashion) on aarch64. An experimental branch has the fixes. I suspect
they're safe to merge (since the buildbot didn't have trouble with them)
but I don't plan to merge them right now since there's no RT kernel
available for the dragonboard yet, and my efforts to build and boot
*any* kernel have failed so far.
(the board isn't particularly exciting except for early adopters; I don't
recommend buying one except as a toy)
If anybody is still running LinuxCNC master branch on a PowerPC architecture, I
would be especially glad to hear of results testing with branch jepler/aarch64.
