Blog post mentions that ARM32 (Raspberry Pi) is a supported platform for both the SDK and Runtime. However, I can find no download links.

I tried the Debian 9 install, but that is for AMD64 only.

[NinoFloris]

Is there a soft guestimate on RTW date?

[RoySalisbury]

Finally found it after making some assumptions based on file names and other download locations...

https://download.microsoft.com/download/B/1/9/B19A2F87-F00F-420C-B4B9-A0BA4403F754/dotnet-sdk-2.1.300-rc1-008673-linux-arm.tar.gz

Why make it so hard to find this stuff?

[leecow]

Sorry @RoySalisbury, we'll get it worked into the download pages.

[Petermarcu]

@RoySalisbury there should be one without the build number in it. @leecow sound like he has it under control :)

[RoySalisbury]

Still having fun trying to find this one:

aspnetcore-runtime-2.1.0-rc1-final-linux-arm.tar.gz

Since its not part of the SDK install I figure I need that installed separately.

[Petermarcu]

It should be in the SDK tar.gz and there should be an ASP.NET Core Runtime for ARM32 tar.gz @livarcocc @DamianEdwards @muratg . Can you confirm whether the ASP.NET runtime made it in or if thats something we need to address for RTM?

[RoySalisbury]

The only thing the SDK installed (for ARM) was

/opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/2.1.0-rc1

and

/opt/dotnet/sdk/2.1.300-rc1-008673

But the hash listing here shows it exists as a separate file (my guess is it is not part of the SDK or runtime for ARM).

https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/checksums/2.1-RC1-Runtime-SHA.txt

[Petermarcu]

That may be true. It should have its own runtime tar.gz and should have been in the sdk. I opened this to track it: https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/9218

[leecow]

Hopefully this will get you going while we work out the documentation

• dotnet-sdk-2.1.300-rc1-008673-linux-arm.tar.gz
• dotnet-runtime-2.1.0-rc1-linux-arm.tar.gz
• aspnetcore-runtime-2.1.0-rc1-final-linux-arm.tar.gz

@NinoFloris - soon-ish ;-)

[laultman]

Never used the global.json and the MS docs are still referencing 1.0 preview. What is the current reference for 2.1 SDK that should be in the global.json. Is it: 2.1.300-rc1-008673
There should be a list somewhere with all the numbers - suggestion.

[leecow]

@laultman - 2.1.300-rc1-00873 and https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/releases.json is the 'canonical' release version list.

[laultman]

@leecow Thanks, great. I had the correct version but had no way to know. On another though, VS 2017 15.7.1 Stills spits out this statement: You are working with a preview version of the .NET Core SDK. You can define the SDK version via a global.
I found a thread where they were talking about how to stop or hide these messages. I guess that has not been done. Thanks again for the info!

[Petermarcu]

Closing this now as .NET Core 2.1 has released.
