That is correct, the buildbot doesn't build/test/package on arm64 yet.
The reason for that is that we don't have any arm64 buildslaves.
We do have a couple of armhf (32-bit) buildslaves, running on Odroid U3
machines. They are super flaky and unreliable and account for about 90%
of the headaches the buildbot produces.
I don't want to add any more flaky little machines to take care of.
What I want is a server-class arm64 board with several CPUs and a couple
of gigs of RAM per CPU, to run virtual armhf and arm64 buildslaves on,
just like how the x86 and amd64 buildslaves are managed. 8 CPUs and 16
GB RAM would be comfortable.
Does anyone have first-hand experience with any hardware like that?
Hi Seb,
My advice, rent one from Scaleway, they specialise in arm servers ( both
v7 and v8 )
https://www.scaleway.com/armv8-cloud-servers/
I have been using them for a server for remote builds in docker
containers and much more for 6 months now,
since I was put onto them by John Morris.
Their servers are simple to set up, reliable and cheap.
No minimum contract, billing by the minute, chop and change whenever you
like.
I have built machinekit on aarch64 (a pine64 board).
The only major issue, was I had to write my own io.h as per
https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/issues/1269#issuecomment-326965404
The rest was just lib dependencies which at the time required custom
libs, but now could use the stock ones.
regards
