Hi,
I was wondering what the usability, or possibility is of using openSUSE on an ARM processor?
Specifically, if I have a labVIEW executable, will I be able to run it on an ARM processor?
Thanks for any information.
I don’t know about OpenSuSE on ARM, but if you have an executable compiled for x86 or AMD64 you will not be able to run that on an ARM-processor, regardless of the operating system you use on that machine.
One could emulate x86 on ARM, but this will cause a drastic performance drop.
A binary executable consists of machine code generated for the specific microprocessor. Different microprocessor-architecture means different machine language.
If the source is available you can recompile it. But be prepared for issues.>:)
Currently an openSuSE ARM mailinglist exists.
Maybe it’s best to join the effort to build an openSuSE ARM distro.
