### Raspberry Pi 3: 32-bit or 64-bit

It is possible to run the RPi 2 images on an RPi 3, as the RPi 3's CPU supports
both the Armv8 and Armv7 instruction sets. The difference between these images
is that the RPi 2 provides a 32-bit system with packages from the Void `armv7l`
repositories, while the RPi 3 image provides a 64-bit system with packages from
the Void `aarch64` repositories.
### Supported Models

| Model | Architecture | Live Image/PLATFORMFS/Kernel |
|----------------|--------------|------------------------------|
| 1 A, B, A+, B+ | armv6l | `rpi` |
| Zero, 0W, 0WH | armv6l | `rpi` |
| 2 B | armv7l | `rpi2` |
| 3 B, A+, B+ | aarch64 | `rpi3` |
| Zero 2W | aarch64 | `rpi3` |
| 4 B, 400 | aarch64 | `rpi4` |
