pigpio on arch AArch64 #524

Closed aa755 closed 2 years ago

aa755 commented 2 years ago

Due to some issues with raspbian on my rpi 3b+, I decided to install arch linux AArch64 version using the official instructions here: Note that I used the url at the end of the installation instructions, which suggest to use the following url instead of the arm7 version: http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz

Then I installed pigpio from AUR. But I get:

[alarm@alarm yay]$ pigpiod

I know I can look into the source code and disable that check. But I would appreciate if somebody has already tried to run pigpio on arch linux AArch64 version, and can share their experience

AArch64 Installation This provides an installation using the mainline kernel and U-Boot. Use this installation only if you have no dependencies on the closed source vendor libraries shipped in the ARMv7 release.

pigpio is dependent upon 'the closed source vendor libraries '.
