1) Message boards : Number crunching : Short for ARM on Android (Message 1979)

Post:
We have application for ARM and Linux - for single-board computers like Raspberry Pi. We try to make application for Android and if it works out, then we will deploy it!


So this hardware will need a different OS installed.
I'll see what's available for it's firmware.


You can run the ARM Linux WU's by installing UserLand on your Android and installing BOINC there.

I'd like to report that the community edition of Ubuntu MATE for Raspberry Pi has an armhf version which works with SiDock@home on Raspberry Pi 4B "out of the box"—nothing for the user to install or change besides BOINC. For those interested, https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/


Most likely a 32-bit version of Ubuntu Mate then (because armhf), a 64-bit version would be aarch64. Pitty to treat a Pi4 that way, better do as earlier suggested

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:armhf libstdc++6:armhf zlib1g:armhf libfuse2:armhf libgomp1:armhf libboinc7:armhf

<cc_config>
<options>
<alt_platform>arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>
<alt_platform>armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>
</options>
</cc_config>

That way you can crunch both 64-bit and 32-bit apps, and make better use of the extra RAM and 64-bit instructions a Pi 4 can offer.

Project runs fine on my (32-bit) Asus Tinker Board, but even though I use
<cc_config> <options> <alt_platform>arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform> </options>

on my Raspberry Pi 4B and Odroid N2+, the code searches for libstdc++.so.6 on a specific 32-bit path -which does not exists on those machines, being 64-bit.


looks to be solved using

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libstdc++6:armhf libgomp1:armhf libboinc7:armhf
sudo reboot

5) Message boards : Number crunching : [Guide][Linux] Running SiDock@home tasks for CmDock on anonymous platform (Message 1171)

Post:
Will this approach in the case of AArch64 (64-bit ARM) prevent the code of cmdock to look for libstdc++.so.6 in the wrong (32-bit) directory?
