ARM support (not Mac)

Post by jakemelon »

Will ARM support be limited to Macs or will it be possible to run Resolume on other ARM based CPUs?

You're going to laugh but I am thinking something like a Raspberry Pi. Yes, yes, very underpowered but what if it is used to display or generate a single layer or dual that is fed elsewhere?

While at it lets, add Android based tablets that run on ARM.

I asked a few months ago. Not going to happen, the hardware isn't capable.

ipad might be possible, but let's get the mac build out first ;)

How about linux, anyone want to run Resolume on linux?

lolz.... linux......

TBH having something like touchengine for pi's would be amazing! You would need a master and the pi's would be sync'd slaves that receive video and communication (osc) via ethernet.

That would solve a lot of the "massive output" questions if you have a good network and a lot of pi's

Exactly my point. Once ARM support is done how much effort would it be to make it work on Raspberry or Linux in general?

More difficult than you think.
Mac Arm was designed to be 64bit and have its own instruction sets.
Other Arm computers (mainly snapdragon processors) are mostly 32bit still, with different instruction sets.

Good evening to the team! My first post, nice to meet you, all! Yes, Linux please... If would ever be the day, I'd like to be the first to taste it... ;)

With all the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite news, and Nvidia, AMD, and MediaTek announcing it will make ARM chips for Windows as the exclusivity deal with Windows and Qualcomm will be ending in 2024..

Will this feature request be reconsidered for the 2024 roadmap?

It would be great to have that allowed on Linux! I want!

Bump up for this request. I was able to test out Resolume Arena on Microsoft's newest fully souped up Surface Laptop running Snapdragon X Elite, 64GB RAM, Win11. With the laptop running its built-in x64 emulation, there were no hiccups running a full layer with 4K video loop content. However, running a second concurrent layer caused the program to intermittently pause as it occasionally got sluggish. Really hoping that the Resolume team will consider releasing a PC-ARM version of Arena at some point, given the move to ARM PCs now hitting the market.
