Request for 64-bit ARM support for Arduino IDE to install on arm64/aarch64

[N0rbert]

It is known that arduino.cc provides the 64-bit version for ARM processors.

Please add its support to Ubuntu Make.

@N0rbert What arm system do you have? Also, what is the output of dpkg --print-architecture

Thanks

EDIT: I pushed a change that should be enough to master. You can test it as soon as it builds from the snap, or from git

[N0rbert]

It is Raspberry Pi 4 with 4Gb of RAM:

$ dmesg | grep "Machine model"
[    0.000000] Machine model: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2

$ dpkg --print-architecture
arm64

$ arch
aarch64

Using latest build from master does not work on it. I can't understand why:

$ sudo apt-get install git python3-argcomplete python3-gnupg python3-progressbar
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ git clone https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-make.git
$ cd ubuntu-make

$ bin/umake electronics arduino

Try now, I forgot to change the supported architecture list in arduino..

[N0rbert]

Now it works. Thank you!

[LyzardKing]

Thank you for opening the issue! I'd like to expand the support of the programs in umake to arm and arm64, but I don't have any device I can really use to test it..
