Hi all,
Was wondering what release version to use for the raspberry-pi. I know that the raspberrypi has an armv6 chip, but has hard float operations (like armv7). I’d imagine that the hard float operations are quite important for syncthing performace (due to encryption etc) so I was wondering if I should get the armv6 or armv7 version?

I would expect syncthing to use very few float operations - all the crypto, hashing and compression stuff should use large integers. That said, the more modern instruction set the better. Try the armv7 version, and if that works, great!
