I’ve been messing around with the Libreelec Kodi 21 betas on a pi4 and pi5 and I found that the current buildbot repos don’t work with them. I then learned that LE 12 switches from armrf to arch64. Any chance of getting a Linux arch64 version of the buildbot? Thanks in advance.

I am in a situation similar to yours, I have currently switched from a different distro to RPI OS and I am setting up Kodi with retroplayer as i used to have.

I had a very quick try with the Libretro Buildbot addon as i ran out of time but i could not not investigate further.
Maybe i chose the wrong repo, I am not sure if i had to install the standard repo, the le or le_armh one...

Code:

dpkg --print-architecture                                                                                                     
arm64

@zachmorris or @garbear, are we missing arm64 cores? can i help in adding them to the addon?
could you please point me in the right direction? if i can support i would be happy to do so, i might need some time to learn... but i will try my best

thanks a lot

The buildbot repo is indeed missing arm64 cores, as "armh" is a 32 bit architecture.

I'm not sure how to add arm64 buildbot cores, as I only maintain the add-ons in the official repo and LibreELEC repo. You can try grabbing an arm64 add-on from either of those and it should work.

sorry @garbear, i thought i understood.. but i didn't...

i installed the "standard" (no le, no le_armhf) buildbot repo, i setup IAGL to launch my local roms with retroplayer but it could not make it to work

i am thinking that i misunderstood what you suggested, you were not suggesting to grab the buildbot repo addon (which i did) but that i grab the emulator addon from libreelec or the official repo

sorry for being thick, could you help me out and explain more what you mean with "grabbing an arm64 add-on from either of those"?

thanks

Let's proceed without the buildbot repo, as LibreELEC has the most up-to-date cores. You should be able to install arm64 cores from the LE repo. Try installing a standalone game, like 2048, and see if it launches. If not, please upload a debug log.

I can probably add it, assuming that 'android arm64-v8a' is compatible with 'linux arm64'. I don't see any other arm64 option in the buildbot:

I'm not sure these are the same though?
