SDK Library for ARM devices (Raspberry Pi Raspbian)

Hi everyone,

We are trying to use the SSC SDK on Raspberry Pi devices running Linux (Raspbian), but unfortunately the provided linux shared library is compiled for the x86 platform.

Would it be possible to get a cross-compiled version targeting the ARM1176JZF-S (ARMv6k) architecture?

Regards,
Johann

Dear Johann,

Thanks for the suggestion. I can't promise anything immediate, but will pass on your request to the development team.

Best regards,
Paul.

Thanks Paul. We understand it's just a request.

We're more than happy to provide some feedback and experience in this matter if the dev team have any questions.

Regards,
Johann

Hi, this would be very useful to run SAM in new ARM processors (e.g. AWS Graviton and Apple M1). Is it currently possible or could it be reconsidered?

Thank you

Johann, Nicolas,

The ssc SDK has been built for iOS and Android devices.

Probably, the best starting point for additional ARM devices would be the Makefiles for the android arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a architectures.

The Makefile files are at  github.com/NREL/ssc/tree/develop/build_android  

Let us know how the ARM development goes and if you run into any issues.

Thanks,
Steve
