Add this info to the documentation for ARM aarch64 users

pineguy64 commented 3 years ago

I have finally gotten the OnlyKey-App and the webapp version to work on my aarch64 devices after much frustration trying to find out why the USB device would never be seen by the app. These devices didn't yet have support for the HID access that node-webkit needed to query the USB devices. By building the repo https://github.com/trustcrypto/node-hid from source, this access is now working and the webapp can be easily working after that. The standalone app can work with some tweaking, I believe I unpacked the .deb and replaced the nw file and lib files with ones from these binaries: https://github.com/LeonardLaszlo/nw.js-armv7-binaries/releases. If you can add this info in for future aarch64 users, that will save them a headache!

Thanks

Great! Yes there is experimental support for ARM in nw.js from the repo you mentioned but this is not officially supported yet. There is an open issue here with discussion - https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/1151

if you want to document your steps here we would be happy to provide these to users looking to build an ARM version of the app.

I'll rebuild it tonight on a fresh OS install and document my steps as I go!

@pineguy64 Hey I had another user reach out about ARM support. Can you share what you did here and then I will see about getting an ARM version released?

Thank you! Very much appreciate if you could. Kind of lost half of my onlykey usability after realizing that there were no ARM support anymore.
