Add arm64 architecture support for linux #4220

Closed Tianming-Wu closed 6 months ago

Tianming-Wu commented 6 months ago

Actually, this is a suggestion. Since I have limited access to some of the websites in the China mainland, I can only post it here.

I found that the Linux version does not contain a version running on arm64. Can you add it? I need it to flash images on my raspberry pi.

I've carefully examined the relase page and I'm sure I haven't seen an available one. If it is just unseen, please make it easier to be found.

Or, how to compile it? There wasn't any information about it. I've downloaded the source, but I haven't figured out how to compile it.

You can certainly build etcher for linux/arm64, I suggest you look at electron-forge requirements. I don't have the bandwidth to add another build target in the short term.

If you can use a command line, an alternative I can recommend is using balena-cli balena local flash command. It use the same flashing code as etcher (without the graphical interface).
