This is a support forum for Linux Mint, a Linux distro targeting primarly desktop users. Linux Mint currently doesn't support ARM architecture. I'm not sure how you ended up asking this question here Perhaps somebody here can help, but I'd think you would have a better chance asking this on a Linux ARM developer forum or mailing list. If you can't find any try http://www.linuxquestions.org.
