### Raspberry Pi 3: 32-bit or 64-bit
20-
21-
It is possible to run the RPi 2 images on an RPi 3, as the RPi 3's CPU supports
22-
both the Armv8 and Armv7 instruction sets. The difference between these images
23-
is that the RPi 2 provides a 32-bit system with packages from the Void `armv7l`
24-
repositories, while the RPi 3 image provides a 64-bit system with packages from
25-
the Void `aarch64` repositories.
