Mar 12, 2016 at 23:19 comment added Peter Green @sandy that sentance was written in the days of the pi1, so when it says pi it means what we would now call pi1. There are third parties releasing debian armhf images for the pi2 (and presumablly pi3) but the rpf have decided to stick with one image for all boards for now.
Mar 11, 2016 at 19:12 comment added goldilocks ..."armel" is the non-hf Debian that was used before Raspbian.
Mar 11, 2016 at 19:10 comment added goldilocks @sandy I think that is 1) Relatively ancient; 2) Confused and/or uncorrected since then, since Debian armhf is compiled with hard float, that's what the hf is for, vs. there's another debian for ARMv4/5 that I think was the first one used on the and that ISA did not have hard floats (I think neither did 6 until a certain point, but it has been that way for most of the time, aka ARM1176JZ(F)-S). So there's only one version of Raspbian, period, ARMv6 with hardware floating point support, the only difference between the A/B/+/0 models and the 2 is the kernel used, presumably so also with the 3.
Mar 11, 2016 at 18:48 comment added zundi raspbian.org/RaspbianFAQ#What_is_Raspbian.3F states (talking about Raspbian): The port is necessary because the official Debian wheezy armhf release is compatible only with versions of the ARM architecture later than the one used on the Raspberry Pi (ARMv7-A CPUs and higher, vs the Raspberry Pi's ARMv6 CPU). Is this still true with the RPi3?
