However, how do I build for armhf on an arm64? But a word of WARNING to all: I am in the habit of printing the order confirmation page so I have a hard copy for my own records. But when their site confirmed the order, the page was ghosted and I could not get any further action, no printout was possible, I could only hand copy the dimly visible order confirmation number to hard copy by hand. I logged out, and then went back and left some feedback of a nasty tone about that. Including my phone number. We'll see if it generates a phone call. > > > Date: Tue, 14 May 2019 10:58:03 -0400 > > > From: Gene Heskett <[email protected]> > > > To: [email protected] > > > Subject: [Emc-developers] using buildbot on the pi > > > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > > > > > Greetings all; > > > > > > Can the buildbot be rigged to run on a pi with an SSD on the usb > > > bus for its working storage?
