Xojo on ARM other than RPi?

Targets Raspberry Pi
1

Hello fellow Xojoists,

Would Xojo Raspberry Pi binaries work on a different board that has the same processor, the ARM1176JZF-S ?

Has anyone tried that?

2

As long as you have right linux libraries available and right CPU, it should work.

3

Has anyone successeded in running xojo applications on any other ARM device using linux?

4

make sure it is an ARMv7 cpu (or newer - if they exist). ARMv6 (and before) dont have the right code in the processors to run Xojo apps.

Xojo uses RPiv2 as a reference model.

I did try on a board with a Freescale i.MX28 (Phidgets SBC3, ARM926EJ-S), didn’t work…

6

Thats an ARM v5 device - definitely wont work
https://www.arm.com/products/processors/classic/arm9/arm926.php
The ARM926EJ-S processor implements the ARMv5TEJ instruction set …

I tried it on a device called CuBox-i by SolidRun. It has a Freescale iMX6, which is ARMv7. It did work.

8

could there be a web page with all the tested boards (and their result) onthe xojo main web site ?

we list the ones we officially support - The Pi 2 which runs an ARM CPU that implements the ARM V7 instruction set
others may work but we make no claims about those

I’ve ordered a C.H.I.P. I’ll get it I June or something to try Xojo apps on :slight_smile:

In theory this should be possible to work with Xojo:

  •   ARM® Cortex™-A9R4 Quad-Core (ARM v7 instruction set)

and would give great opportunities: Lemaker Guitar

I did some tests on a Cubietruck and eeweb as standalone worked perfectly on the unit.
