RPi4 boot, stuck in 32-bit kernel on raspbian how to get 64 bit?

[fribse (Kenneths Teknik)]

I’m trying to get my RPi4 SSD boot (boot on sd, switch to ssd, as described by Andreas Spiess) to work in 64-bit, so I can get the vs codeeditor activated.
But the raspbian is 32-bit only as far as I can see.
How do I get it to 64-bit, so I can get a HA 64 bit running as well?

Might be wrong but AFAIK there is no Raspbian 64 bit for the RPI4 processor yet.

There is but it is still in the testing stage.
Pi4 64-bit raspbian kernel for testing - Focus on Pi4

This is what I did yesterday.

Rpi 4 installation

I was running it on Raspbian desktop but’s as it is not 64bit and the 64-bit raspbian kernel is still in testing on Pi4, I am testing it running on Manjaro XFCE on a USB-C 3.1 enclosure with a 120GB M.2 SATA SSD now as it is a 64bit OS so I can install VS Code add-on and it is running great so far and was so easy to set it up just by having the just the boot partition on the SD card and the just the root partition on the SSD and editing the cmdline.txt on the SD card to root=/dev/sda1 rootfsty…

I stand corrected. Thanks!
