OpenCPN Runs on Embedded ARM

[rgleason]

Larry, did you get a suitable place to store your install files?
Also have you registered for edit/manager on the new wiki (books)?

It is unclear to me if the Paclink software is working or not; It has been downloaded 35 times in the past week! But no changes have been made since 2010.

Good Luck,
JM.

Wow ! You are persistent !

My radio sunk with my first boat, and we are finished cruising on a second boat hard aground for now.

Cheers,

Dear Sirs, I appreciate the effort you are putting into running OpenCPN on an alternative board. I would like to ask you, if it is possible to substitute RPi4 with Radxa Rock 4C+. It has the same layout, hopefully the same pins, according to testers it's faster, manufacturer claims Debian works and the only major difference is the CPU (Rockchip RK3399-T, six cores) and GPU (Mali T860MP4), with OpenGL supported. This board is readily available in my country for €82, for which I could not even dream of getting the original RPi. Question is: Will Openplotter distro work on this board? I need to use it with Pican-m hat for nmea2000 interface. I am using OpenCPN and KIP software and connected bme280 sensor through hat qwiic connection. What are the possible problems? Anything I should know? I am afraid to spend the money if the result might be a fail...

OpenCPN will run on arm64 (or armhf) Debian. You will need to match version of your Debian (or Debian derived distro) with OpenCPN package for it.

Openplotter has some raspberry pi specific stuff so some things will not work.
