I'm running BalenaOS on a Raspberry pi 4, specifically the foldforcovid image, and I get the following error trying to update the project: "This project doesn't support computers of type aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"
Is there a solution? ARM should be supported on linux. |

You would need to use a 32 bit ARM image. I had my raspberry running Ubuntu 64 and once I switched to 32 bit it started working

ARM should be supported on linux. Think for foldforcovid support you need to be at, foldforcovid or maybe Rosetta@home since the earned computing credits are going there according your link.

Agreed. Rosetta has a 64 bit ARM support so you would have luck there. But in order to use WCG, you need to switch over to a 32 bit image

Is it possible to install the 32-bit support libraries, assuming such a thing exists for ARM? With 64 bit x86 Linux, lots of people have trouble running 32 bit BOINC projects out of the box. With the correct libraries installed, however, you could always get 32 bit to run under 64 bit Linux.
Is the same true for Linux ARM distributions? There's also a BOINC client setting that will prevent 32 bit apps from running on a 64 bit machine, but that's usually off unless you turned it on. Check to make sure <no_alt_platform> is either 0, or not present at all, in cc_config.xml. |

Michael,
I believe the fix would be a OpenPandemics executable that supports boinc platform code aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu right now, it appears platform code arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf is only supported for the ARM images (non android). I posted this to the Beta thread for visibilty, but not sure if the folks will see it. I would imagine the OpenPandemics can be complied for both ARM types since it is working on Android no issue...thoughts? |

Indeed, since there are linux binaries and Android Aarch64 binaries, I don't think it would be too much work to have Aarch64 linux binaries. |

Just more beta to validate the compile is not producing gigo results.

I'd love to see 64-bit aarch64 Linux support for this project, and if it's just a matter of compiling the binary then testing, it shouldn't be a huge level of effort. I'm thinking about buying more efficient, cheap hardware specifically to contribute to OpenPandemics.
