06/28/2018, 6:52 AMIf a arm64 Linux distro is running on a Rpi 3 would Kotlin Native still work? The Rpi 3 (both Model B and B+) uses a armv8 CPU, although if a arm32 Linux distro is used then a armv7 CPU is listed (https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/77693/enabling-armv8-on-raspberry-pi-3-b).
