Hello,

According to the Raspberry Pi documentation, model 2B uses a quad-core Arm Cortex A53 (Armv8) ; the Void documentation says it has a armv7 architecture (32bit) The download section for arm platforms says :"These images are prepared for 2GB SD cards" but the Void documentation mentions : "The pre-built images provided are prepared for 1GB storage devices".

the 2B is armv7, the 2B v1.2 is armv8

Yes, you're right. But reading the PCN §1.3, seemed to me that v1.2 replaces v1.1 since june 2023 (and v1.2 is now replaced by v1.3). As "It is possible to run the armv7l images on an RPi 3, as the RPi 3's CPU supports both the Armv8 and Armv7 instruction sets", is it possible to run the aarh64 image on a Pi 2B v1.2/v1.3? If yes, I think this should be mention in the documentation.
