qFlipper on arm64 (raspi4)

[akervern]

Hey guys, I'm trying to get qFlipper up and running on arm64 but I think I'll need some help.

I did try to stick to the current build chain and adapt it, for now I target to just compile and run, without packaging eerything as an appimage.

I commented linuxdeploy install and adapted apt repository to have a similar arm64 apt repository. so I changed a little bit the dockerfile, as follow:

+#     && chmod +x /usr/bin/linuxdeploy-plugin-qt

 RUN git config --global --replace-all safe.directory '*'

Then a created a dedicated arm64 build file:

#!/bin/bash

set -ex

TARGET='qFlipper'
BUILDDIR='build'
APPDIR_PREFIX="$PWD/$BUILDDIR/AppDir/usr"

export QML_SOURCES_PATHS='..'

mkdir -p $BUILDDIR && cd $BUILDDIR
qmake ../$TARGET.pro -spec linux-g++ CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler PREFIX=$APPDIR_PREFIX && make qmake_all && make -j$(nproc) && make install

(dropping few lines tied to linuxdeploy execution)

Container is built just fine, build script completed; then I tried to run the build from the raspi4, and after installing a few extra dependencies (not sure about the exact list, but I'll share it later when everything will work) I get the qFlipper window working!

Thus, my issue is now nor qflipper, nor qflipper-cli are able to connect to my device. Only available logs I was able to get are

And now Im stuck how I can fix this connection issue. Do you have any idea what I would need to try/install missing lib to move forward?

Thanks or your help!

Have you set up the device access rules?

Good catch, I missed that part - Thank for your help, now everything seems o work just fine.
