OpenSim support on arm64 (Snapdragon x Elite)

[Sunny Cai]

Hi there! As far as I know, there isn't an arm64 version of OpenSim yet. I recently got a new laptop with the Snapdragon X elite processor and it seems that the prism emulation allows me to install it, but the simulation environment is just a grey box. Opening a model etc seems to work, just that the simulation environment isn't shown. I completely understand that there isn't compatibility with windows arm64 right now but is there any future plans on it?

Thanks!

Just an update:
I installed version 4.4 and it seems to work! The windows seem to be rescaled to really tiny but im just happy it works! Still curious about any future support though.

Hi Sunny,

The core libraries and scripting interfaces can all be compiled from source on arbitrary new platforms, if you try compiling from source and run into problems please open issues on github and we'll address.

As to the GUI/application, it has extra dependencies on more third party tools and java JVMs that may not support new platforms. Unfortunately we don't have plans to support new platforms at the moment, however if significant demand for this platform arises in the community we will reassess then.

I'm not sure what the simulation environment you're referring to so maybe you can elaborate on your environment so we can help you out.

Hope this helps,
