Raspberry Pi installation failed，No arm version installed

[OCDpunk]

OS：Raspberry Pi OS release:5.10.17-v7l+ machine:rmv7l

I executed gvm install go1.4 -B and then executed gvm install go1.5, an error was reported: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I guess version 1.4 is installed into the wrong version, not the arm version, what should I do?

Any update?

The same problem here!

My workaround: use the option -B.

On my Raspberry Pi model 4 B, I ran gvm install go1.17 -B and then gvm use go1.17 --default. But I get binary format errors :(

$ go version
zsh: exec format error: go

For now, I am working around this by manually installing Go from the arvmv6l stable release, per https://www.jeremymorgan.com/tutorials/raspberry-pi/install-go-raspberry-pi/

This would not work well in terms of rapidly switching between Go versions, without some sort of chroot setup. Would ultimately love to see gvm patched to download the appropriate release media for Raspberry Pi CPU's.
