Pi2 Build of OSMC - Arm v7 build?

Hi,

I’m testing the new OSMC on a Pi2. So far I’m impressed. Is the Pi2 build compiled for the arm7 architecture like the arch linux build?

Yes.

The Pi 2 build is based on armhf (arm7) debian, whereas the Pi 1 build is based on Raspbian. (armv6)

The Kernel, Kodi and many other OSMC packages are also compiled specifically with armv7 versions of the code.

What arch linux build? I’m trying to find one for the Arm v7 in arch linux and can’t. The AUR uses either i686 or x86_64. I haven’t found a version that can be installed on an arch linux ARM computer.

The pi builds are based on Debian, not Arch.
