Can you support armhf (ARM32) ?
Can you support armhf (ARM32) ? I found that more and more ARM hardware CPUs can only run 64-bit apps. Box86 is cannot run on which 64-bit CPU.
Your question isn't clear. Are you asking whether it is possible to use box64 on ARM32 machines, or to use box86 on ARM64?
box86 is a software to run 32bits x86 software on 32bits hardware. box64 is the same for 64bits x86_64 software on 64bits hardware. Recently, an early version of box32 is being developed, which allows 32bits x86 software to run on 64bits hardware (ie, most modern ARM CPUs), though it is still off by default since it's too unstable.
As a side note: box32 is not a standalone binary, but part of box64. To have box32 available, you need to add it to the configuration step of box64 (cmake -DBOX32=1). box64 will then be able to run both x86 and x86_64 software (though with quite a few issues currently, a lot of work still needs to be done).
The other way around, using box86 to run 64bits software on 32bits hardware, is not being considered currently.
Thank you for your detailed reply.
I asked Box32 (that is, running the ARM 32-BIT program on the ARM64 device).
Because I found that my Android device can only run 64-BIT programs.
Box86 requires my device to run the ARM32 instruction set.
I will try cmake -DBOX32=1
If you have any specific issues with Box32, please feel free to open a separate GitHub Issue. Closing as complete.
