Rock64 (Pine64) has units with 4 gigs and bit more Umph , also Rock-PRO-64 can run M.2 1tb etc. useful for thin client or Keosk builds ...

a build of Msys for Arm/arm64 and gcc etc , might be nice to have and or windows cross build ie windows/Linux to Windows arm/arm64 IOT , for thin client use , and or porting apps to windows running on arm/arm64 snapdragon laptops... or tablets..

mingw-w64 is providing ARM/ARM64 support now (with version 6.0), but no binaries download yet. currently here is what I want

  • a x86/x86_64 to Windows ARM/ARM64 cross compiler on msys2 (lack of a supported mingw-w64 toolchain on ARM greatly hurts Windows on ARM adoption)

gcc does not support arm/arm64 mingw targets we would have to switch to clang first as the compiler for all the desired packages
