Identification of system's architecture. #83

Open cdplayer opened 6 years ago

cdplayer commented 6 years ago

I think ukuu incorrectly identifies architecture as armhf instead of arm64/aarch64 because it uses dpkg --print-architecture

I have a new nano-t4 from friendlyarm. It uses Rockchip rk3399. I'm using the Lubuntu package they optionally supply. device shipped with Android 7.1 installed.

pi@FriendlyELEC:~$ uname -i

pi@FriendlyELEC:~$ dpkg --print-architecture

This is a big problem. There are multiple armhf distributions which can use arm64 kernels with a armhf userspace. (Similar to how sparc64 kernels would often be used with a sparc userspace.)

Can there be an option to select the kernel arch at runtime?
