Enhancement request: Arduino IDE 2.3.6 for ARM

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Seems to be a fantasy, but Raspberry Pi and Apple Silicon each run on ARM designed chips.

I did not find any official Arduino policy on supporting ARM. Strangely there does not seem to have even been discussion….

Apparently, due to dependency issues it is not that easy to build from sources.

Any further informed comments?

I assume that you realise that the Arduino IDE can already be used to program ARM processors including boards like Arduino Zero, Nano RP2040 Connect, and all MKR boards use ARM chips (e.g., ATSAMD21, RP2040, Nordic nRF52).

I think that you are asking the wrong question

Hi @peepo. The Arduino IDE developers are tracking the request for publishing official builds for Linux ARM hosts here:

You can subscribe to that GitHub issue to get notifications of any progress on the subject.

I do my best to maintain lists of the additional requests for feature and bug reports for Arduino's software projects.

In some cases, these might provide additional context that will be useful in the resolution. Even when that is not the case, the number of items in the list serves as a metric of significance to the user base. That data can be utilized by the project managers when deciding how to prioritize allocation of development resources.
