[TESTING] Rockbox Utility for ARM64 (aarch64) Linux

(1/1)

LambdaCalculus:
For the increasing ubiquity of ARM based Linux devices, I have compiled a version of Rockbox Utility for aarch64/arm64 Linux, which should run on most devices with a 64-bit ARM SoC and an appropriate Linux distro.

This was tested with success on a Raspberry Pi 4 running a beta version of the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS. Detection of my device, as well as pushing a build to it for installation, were both successful.

I hope to have a build for armhf (32-bit ARM Linux) built within the coming days, but for now, I would like some feedback on the 64-bit version... perhaps others can run it on other devices?... and perhaps it can be made an official version for download with success.

The download is here: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZBOaiXZxruFq4xH78Q8mf0wyxfX3R4aIcF7
https://download.rockbox.org/rbutil/linux/RockboxUtility-v1.4.1-aarch64.tar.gz

Simply extract from the archive with 'tar -zxvf RockboxUtility-v1.4.1-aarch64.tar.gz' and run.

Thanks for creating this.

Is this the same 1.4.1 from 2019-11-15 (like the official release) or the current version from Git?

LambdaCalculus:
This was built from the most recent Git repo but marked as a release version. Since the last release revision was 1.4.1, any versions I build that are marked to be release versions will reflect that, unless the team decides to update the release version.

Good job, on Pinephone needed to sudo apt-get install libqt5widgets5 and sudo apt-get install libqt5multimedia5 first.

For the record ran your Rockbox utility build for ARM64 with Mobian, works ok, just needed to set display to 100% to get it to fit on the screen.
SDL(200) Rockbox build itself also works unaltered on the Pinephone, would be nice to install it direct from the utility.

LambdaCalculus:
New v1.5.1 build of Rockbox Utility for aarch64 is ready for testing:

Should be made official soon.
