Support for ARM-Linux

Great
PB is and will soon be everywhere. Soon the PB IDE in a watch

Very cool, but sadly the N900 hardware is a bit outdated in 2022 But you got me wondering if a F(x)tec Pro1 is an option.

... if a F(x)tec Pro1 is an option.

Well give it a few months and mine will arrive (or so I hope), I pre-ordered in the original campaign

Of course I will post an update here!

Besides he vastly faster processor and some useful keys like TAB it has one big disadvantage however:
A capacitive touchscreen. The N900 has a resistive one and with the included stylus I can easily hit the tiniest buttons.
Also there is no mainline Linux for it yet, so I will have to resort to chroot solutions again.

I uploaded again a new build which should fix the 3D engine issue.

Hello Fred,

is it possible for you to compile an Arm64 version? So we could also test a 64 bit version before the release. I would also donate a Raspberry Pi 4(400).

There is now also an official version for 64 bit from Raspberry.

I ordered a PI 4, but there is some delay. Once I get it, I will try to build an ARM64 version. Thanks for your offer BTW !

Uh oh, now Fred is going to be distracted by his new toy! We are doomed!

The raspberry pi is a deep rabbit hole with no return!

This is good news

I uploaded again a new build which should fix the 3D engine issue.

Does not work 3D examples.
This code returns 0.

Code: Select all

Debug OpenLibrary(0, #PB_Compiler_Home+"compilers/engine3d.so")

At the same time, the similar code for libmariadb.so works fine (returns not 0).
When compiling this code

Code: Select all

Import #PB_Compiler_Home+"compilers/engine3d.so"
EndImport

an error is displayed

[Fred]

I will try to link statically the libc++ as well.

[Fred]

I updated the raspberry package with static link for engine3d.so, should solve the issue.

[User_Russian]

Now 3D works fine.
Thanks.

Just a little tip for those who don't want to spend 700+ $ to buy a new smartphone with keyboard, but still would like to "hack away" on their existing smartphone with the upcoming PB 6 : get a foldable keyboard and connect it via bluetooth

What does PB 6 have to do with a smartphone?

Smart phones with linux base os (not android)
