[Feature Request] Running polycubed on Arm-based hardware #426

Open ajokela opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Running both baremetal polycubed as well as Docker-based should be possible

Describe the solution you'd like

Arm-based systems are becoming ubiquitous - from single board computers to Arm-based servers on Cloud Compute platforms. Polycube should be easy to compile and run. Or, even be available in pre-built packages.

Describe alternatives you've considered

After a lot of tinkering and rebuilding, I was able to get polycubed and polycubectl to compile and link. However, that's where things stop working. Running polycubed -d results in a hung process that consumes one core, 100%.

Additional context

I wrote up my experience with getting things to compile: https://tinycomputers.io/posts/polycube-network-on-arm-hardware-WIP.html

Any progress? +1 for ARM support

Ref #254

Hi @mrbluecoat, unfortunately there is currently no active maintainer of the Polycube project, hence no plan to work on the support for ARM. If you want to contribute please feel free to submit a PR.
