Guide: Compile llama.cpp LLM runtime on Debian, cross-compile for ARM64

This technical guide details how to compile and cross-compile the llama.cpp project, a C/C++ based LLM inference runtime, on Debian Linux. It covers native builds for various architectures like x86-64 and ARM64, including optional integration with OpenBLAS for performance enhancement. The guide also provides step-by-step instructions for cross-compiling from an x86-64 machine to an ARM64 target, essential for deploying on devices like Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi. AI
