Thanks, but I should have been more clear... eventually I intend to write a driver for a SPI connected ADC (or something similar) that uses GPIO interrupts to read out samples.

I got my stock image for my RPi booting. Is there much support for aarch64? I see changing the architecture in buildroot (and yes, running make distclean first) doesn't immediately work. Would trying to get this going be a good learning exercise for the ins and outs of buildroot?

My understanding is that there isn't, and it's tough to change because of reasons? Something to do with the GPU. There's a reason raspbian etc are still 32 bit. It's probably? not as simple as just switching an architecture flag.
