As you can see on the website, there is a lot of platforms, from ARMv5h to ARMv8h. It's also good to know the manufacturer of your ARM chip.** Broadcom is the manufacturer behind all Raspberry Pi chips**. You also maybe noted that if you have a Raspberry Pi 3 (ARMv8h), the installation instruction won't be different than from the Pi2. It uses the same archive in this case. | As you can see on the website, there is a lot of platforms, from ARMv5h to ARMv8h.

If not, use any live Linux USB to fire up a temporary Linux system and follow the instructions. |
