Support for arm64

Open SEUZTh opened this issue 4 years ago • 41 comments

I am using ubuntu20.04 arm64 in parallels desktop 17.0. However, QGC.appimage can't run on arm64.

Do you intend to provide arm64 version?

Can you change the topic to "Support for arm64" platform?

Did you try building QGC for arm64?

I am using arm64 ubuntu. If you have a x64 PC, could you x64-arm64 cross build it? Thanks very much.

I think it would be much easier if you try the build yourself.

try, but without success :(

@booo Ditto on the request. The instructions for building QGroundControl require building Qt5. I've tried numerous times on Nvidia Jetson to build qt5, but the build fails, and I'm not sure why (perhaps memory issues?). It would be a huge help if a compiled version for arm64 were already provided.

How about QGC on arm-based Ubuntu？ I know px4 sitl can be builded on it, and qgc also can run on Mac by Rosetta.

@SEUZTh @mfry90 @hyperion11 and @ everyone who need to run qgc on arm-based ubuntu: summary as:

  1. Must be install flatpak 1.12.4 or later. To install 1.12.4, run the following in a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak
  1. flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
  2. flatpak install flathub org.kde.Platform/aarch64/5.15-21.08
  3. flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists thopiekar.eu https://dl.thopiekar.eu/flatpak/_.flatpakrepo
  4. flatpak install thopiekar.eu org.mavlink.qgroundcontrol after that, maybe restart your computer is need.

unfortunately no. I checked your latest post followed the steps completely without error. But can not start qgc, what is the command ?

is there anything output on terminal when you do that 5 step?

mengchaoheng avatar Apr 18 '22 10:04 mengchaoheng

Because I had a restart I lost the output but executed one ore time :

parallels@ubuntu-linux-20-04-desktop:~/dev/github$ flatpak install thopiekar.eu org.mavlink.qgroundcontrol Looking for matches… Skipping: org.mavlink.qgroundcontrol/aarch64/stable is already installed

Find qgc in lower left quarter of Ubuntu，just klick it

I thought it was set to path as executable or something similar. Never thought it will be installed as an app. Thanks @mengchaoheng.

I was just leaving working on M1. Do you have a slack account ?

Run qgc by 'flatpak run --device=all org.mavlink.qgroundcontrol', see

mengchaoheng avatar Apr 21 '22 01:04 mengchaoheng

flatpak run --device=all org.mavlink.qgroundcontrol

I made it work as you mentioned before via app search and tried your last advice from command line. Thanks @mengchaoheng

I'm trying to install on ubuntu 20.04 arm64 and have following: Screenshot at Sep 16 21-48-51

singulardroid avatar Sep 16 '22 17:09 singulardroid

looks like the QCG app has dependency on specific version of KDE and more recent versions are not being accepted? too fresh for the subject but honestly can't make it run...

If using mac M1 and have ubuntu installed on parallels, this works like a charm.
