Is the tv box still 32-bit or 64-bit already after the upgrade?

Android firmware is still 32 bit,
But coreelec & librelec & debian & ubuntu images are 64 bit.

No Everything is still 32bit, Including CoreElec, LibreElec, Debian & Ubuntu.
Reason for being 32bit = Widevine is only available for arm 32bit linux and not aarch64 yet.
The kernel used is aarch64 but the userspace is 32bit.

I am happy to hear that users can now user CoreElec to watch Netflix.

The question is about operating system, not widewine.
And yes coreelec & librelec & debian & ubuntu images are 64 bit operating systems.

Of course you can run 32 bit apps on them but running 32 bit apps on a 64 bit aarch64 doesn't make operating system 32Bit.

CoreELEC (official): 9.2.2 (Amlogic-ng.arm)
CoreELEC:~ # uname -a
Linux CoreELEC 4.9.113 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 13 20:13:06 BST 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Hello Dear,
Please read my post carefully, I did mention this

The kernel used is aarch64 but the userspace is 32bit.

uname you're showing says that kernel is 64bit that doesn't mean userspace will be 64bit also.
If any of the OS use aarch64 for user space then they will not be able to get widevine as google have never released widevine for aarch64 architecture. I have been playing around alot with libwidevine to test.

Even ChromeOS for rk3399 is 32bit user space with 64bit kernel. Also not all apps are ported to aarch64 yet.

You cannot run 32bit apps on 64bit userspace, but you can run 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel.

Hope you understand the difference.
Thank You.

Hello Dear,

I'm playing with Linux since 1998 and especially with kernel.
I know what does it mean kernel space or user space.

I will continue to talk specifically about my ubuntu / debian images.
please check carefully attached installed-packages.zip and kernel-config.gz files.

All packages that I compiled including System Daemons, Windowing System , Graphics and libraries are compiled as arm64.

1. xserver-xorg-core/focal,now 2:1.20.8-2ubuntu2 arm64 [installed]
   
2. xserver-xorg/focal,now 1:7.7+19ubuntu14 arm64 [installed]

Kernel build as 64bit with 32bit Userspace support means you can use 32bit armhf packages but it doesn't mean operating system is 32 bit.
How can you say my builds Debian / Ubuntu and Librelec (which uses mainline kernel) and Coreelec are not 64 bit and they are all 32 bit.

On Android all apps runs on "Android Run time (custom java runtime) and Core Libraries" but on linux side there is difference you can run both 64 bit and 32 bit apps (with compatibility libraries) at the same time on an 64 Bit kernel.

    No Everything is still 32bit, Including CoreElec, LibreElec, Debian & Ubuntu.

What you say is correct only for android not for linux distributions.
Coreelec & Librelec & Debian & Ubuntu images are absolutely 64 bit Operating Systems.

And nobody told that all apps ported to aarch64 this is a totally different topic.
Widewine is not a part of Linux OS if you need you can use it as an addon to kodi, firefox , chrome.


I hope you understand what are we talking about...

Yes I get what you're saying,
AFAIK LibreElec and CoreElec is always 32bit userspace as they have to make use of widevine armv7 otherwise they will have to maintain 32bit libraries in parallel with 64bit. Without widevine users will not be happy to use LibreElec or CoreElec as most users watch neflix etc.

For Debian and Ubuntu I think you're using arm64 which is 64bit, I use Manjaro ARM Linux which is Arch linux based and there is only 64bit support as armv7 boards are not produced anymore, so we dropped armv7 support.

With Android 10 onwards they plan to use arm64, but it will take sometime for the developers to get arm64 ready for the devices.

Thank you for the detailed information, I agree to you that you must be using 64bit version of Debian or Ubuntu, as they maintain both the arch.
