Cross-compiling Golang for ARM64 (aarch64) e.g. Pine64 on Fedora AMD64

cross-compile-go-arm64.md

• Install Go for Linux the usual way on your main Linux box:

cd
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.6.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf go1.6.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local/
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
mkdir -p ~/gitwork/go/src
mkdir ~/gitwork/go/bin
mkdir ~/gitwork/go/pkg
export GOPATH=~/gitwork/go
go version

• Cross-compile Go for ARM64

mkdir gobuild
cd gobuild/
git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go
cd go
git checkout go1.6.2
cd src
export GOARCH=arm64
export GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/usr/local/go
export GOOS=linux
./make.bash
cd ../..
tar -cvf go1.6.2.linux-arm64.tar ./go
gzip go1.6.2.linux-arm64.tar 

• Use sftp or scp on the ARM64 device to get the tar.gz file
• Then install and set it up on ARM64:

tar -zxvf go1.6.2.linux-arm64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local/
cd /usr/local/go/bin/linux_arm64
sudo cp * ..
cd
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
mkdir -p ~/gitwork/go/src
mkdir ~/gitwork/go/bin
mkdir ~/gitwork/go/pkg
export GOPATH=~/gitwork/go
go version

What is your other system, the one you are connecting from to your Raspberry or something? Windows? Linux? Mac?

On some you can use scp command. On others more visual tool like FileZilla.

It is linux, I am using the linux in chrome OS
