 This page describes what is required to get ARM to [[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/archs.html|Tier 1]].
-Question: Is armv6 the target, or both armv6 and arm?
+:!: this page is in need of an update as of 20190714.
-Answer: Input from [[http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2014-January/007354.html|this thread]] states //TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv6//.
+Question: Is 32-bit the target, or both 32-bit and 64-bit?
+Answer: Both.  Input from [[http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2014-January/007354.html|this thread]] states //TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv6//.
+NB: as of %%FreeBSD%% 12 the 32-bit emphasis will prbably shift from **armv6** to **armv7**, leaving **armv6** mostly of interest to owners of older-generation Raspberry Pis.  The 64-bit target will remain **aarch64** (aka **arm64**).

+| Official packages | portmgr | Official packages building and publishing on official repositories. Schedule not automated yet due to performance and churn of stability. Lack of testing support for ports committers is an open problem for tier1. |

+Right now, only armv6 and aarch64 are available: see [[https://pkg.freebsd.org/|here]] for the current list.
