I have tried installing aarch64-none-elf on my raspberry pi 3B+ from the arm website when I extract it, I can't run the executable files in it.

Here's the error: bash: ./aarch64-none-elf-gcc: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Is there any way to fix that error, or download it from another source.

file aarch64-none-elf-gcc returns aarch64-none-elf-gcc: cannot open `aarch64-none-elf-gcc' (No such file or directory)

  • Please edit in the output from file aarch64-none-elf-gcc and file $(which file) (the last one is to demonstrate that you are, or are not, running a 64-bit OS).

  • I've just realised it's 32 bit instead of 64 bit

I've just realised it's 32 bit instead of 64 bit

You can't run 64-bit software on a 32-bit system, obviously. The 64-bit version of RpiOS should run fine on a 3B+, since while I'm not sure if you can compile 64-bit binaries on a 32-bit platform (I'd think so, but could not find discussion of such in a quick online search), that compiler does not have a 32-bit host version for linux.

  • Thanks for this. I need to install the 64 bit version of the os, and then I will try it. I didn't realise that it was the 32 bit version
