Be warned for the nomenclature: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B V1.1 is Cortext-A7 (armv7, specifically BSM2836) Raspberry Pi 2 Model B V1.2 is Cortext-A53 (aarch64, specifically = BCM2837) The first is long out of production and various places that still list 2's "model B" as Cortex-A7 actually ship the Cortex-A53 variant. Even: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/ links to: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/ which describes the original Cortex-A7 version. The "Buy Now" button gives you selections of places selling the Cortex-A53 variant (V1.2) explicitly and others still listing the Cortex-A7 variant (V1.1) explicitly, despite what some ship when you order. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
