Raspberry Pi 4 with 64 bits kernel

64bits

I saw weeks ago in the Novaspirit Tech channel video how we can change the Pi kernel to a 64-bit one, although it won't be much help in an operating system with 32-bit compiled applications and libraries, but it's a beginning.

The first thing to do is run the following:

sudo rpi-update

And now we edit the file /boot/config.txt to add the following:

arm_64bit=1

aarch64

That's it. Restart and running uname -a we can see that the system is using a 64-bit kernel if it shows the text aarch64.
