Where can I download Raspbian 32 bit

Mon Feb 24, 2020 5:21 pm

HI i have a Pi 2 and my card is corrupted. I can't find a 32 bit imnage, where can I find this dowload please? Please do not suggest that I buy a new PI! I have no money. I just need to get the 32 bit image as my Pi does not support 64 bit. Thanks.

There is no 64b Raspbian -- yet. There is a 64b kernel optionally available for the hardware that can run them, but that won't be loaded by the bootloader on machines that can't cope, and, anyway, you need to explicitly ask for it -- it isn't the default.

A 64 bit kernel is being tested on the Pi 4, but it's not the default yet. Also I would be shocked if someday Raspbian stops being able to run on older Pies. (Backwards compatibility is a high priority to the Foundation)

The latest Buster runs fine on all Pies - even on the slowest 32-bit Pi zero.

You can get it at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/.
Want to make your own Raspbian image?
  • Hard way: Mess with confusing terminal commands.
  • Easy way: Let Pi-Power-Tools do it all for you!
Boot your image in a VM, Flash from the Internet at top speed, Mount (to drop files in), Edit partitions, Shrink/Expand, Repair, and more. Enjoy! :)

Not sure why you would think that anyone would suggest your failure to find the downloads page (see the very top of this page) would result in your needing to buy a new Pi.

I think instead of Pi zero, you meant the Pi 1b

To answer the question posed in the thread title.. At the top of every page. Click on "Downloads" then follow the obvious links from there.

Possibly the confusion is because nowhere on the downloads page does it mention "32 bit"

32 bit is the default.
If it doesn't say it's 64-bit (or any other number) then it's 32-bit
