The only change from build.sh is the addition of "-flax-vector-conversions" to CFLAGS. The compiler will remind you if you forget.
Specific achitectures and features can be compiled using examples in armbuild-all.sh.
The miner is known to compile and run on Raspberry Pi 4B and Orange Pi 5 Plus, and compiles for all version of armv8 with our without AES or SHA2 or both.
The miner has been tested on Raspberry Pi 4B, Orange Pi 5 Plus, and Mac Mini from a Linux VM.
It compiles for all minor versions of armv8.x with or without AES, or SHA2, or both.
What works:
* All algorithms except Verthash should be working.
* Allium, Lyra2z, Lyraz330, Argon2d are fully optimzed for NEON, Allium uses unoptimized AES.
* All Scrypt & Sha25 are fully optimized.
* X17, MinotaurX is mostly optimized.
* All Scrypt & Sha25 are fully optimized to make use of SHA2.
* X17, MinotaurX are mostly optimized.
* AES is working for Shavite & Echo, not for Groestl & Fugue.
* stratum+ssl and stratum+tcp are working, GBT is untested but expected to work.
* CPU and SW feature detection and reporting is working, algo features in progress, CPU brand not yet implemented.

* No detection of ARM architecture minor version number.
* NEON may not be displayed in algo features for some algos that may support it.
* Algos may show support for NEON even if it's disabled or not yet implemented.
* Groestl, Fugue: Multiple issues with NEON & AES, using unoptimized.

* SWIFFTX: Deferred, using unoptimized.
* Algos not mentioned have either been deferred or have not been analyzed. They may or may not work on ARM.
