Add drivers for Windows ARM64 #148

Closed WeeJeWel closed 2 years ago

WeeJeWel commented 2 years ago

Currently, BCM2711 does not seem to have a driver for Windows on Arm.

I don't think that's something we are ever likely to support

WeeJeWel commented 2 years ago

Why not? It's the future! :)

timg236 commented 2 years ago

It's open source, you are free to fork it and roll it yourself. I can think of many more interesting things to do than port this code to every OS. It works on Raspberry Pi OS on Raspberry Pi which is good enough

WeeJeWel commented 2 years ago

Are we talking about the same thing? I mean https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/blob/master/win32/rpiboot_setup.exe.

timg236 commented 2 years ago

Yes. This isn’t going to get ported to ARM and isn’t really supported on win32 either

WeeJeWel commented 2 years ago

Ah, okay.

To clarify, we’ll accept reasonable pacthes for other OS ports but they are not tested by us eg Mac OS or BSD is maintained like this
