Can we get a new application for Linux running on 64-bit ARM please. There must be a lot of Pi4's out there and users that want to use Ubuntu 64 bit Raspbian.

I have been trying to get work for my Pi 4 4 Gb that has Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS [5.4.0-1038-raspi 64 bit server loaded on it. We have tried a bunch of things to get it to work but in the end the work units always error and fail. Have a look at this thread for more information.

https://universeathome.pl/universe/forum_thread.php?id=576&postid=4751

Rosetta, TN-Grid, MLC@HOME, LHC@Home WU-Prop, iTHena, and NFS@Home all have applications that work on the Pi4 with Linux 64 bit ARM.

BUT I want to run Universe on my Pi4's ( see the thread)

I once again attempted to run Universe tasks on my new RPi 4 and even futzing arround with adding the 32bit armhf libraries and making sure the libraries were found, I still could not get the tasks to run correctly.
Have no issues running the tasks on my RPi 3B+ however.
We really need a proper aarch64 application.

I sorted it out eventually. I had to add a few other 32bit packages besides adding the standard armhf architecture.

Any update about running Universe on Raspberry Pi 4?

As far as I setup mine: Raspberry Pi OS 64, Debian Bullseye ARM64.

added to Universe but still didn't get jobs 😭
Corsair,

You need to install the armhf 32 bit library dependencies to get Universe tasks on the Pi4.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libstdc++6:armhf libgomp1:armhf libboinc7:armhf


Additionally you have to add alternate platform identifier to your cc_config.xml file:

<cc_config>
<options>
<alt_platform>arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>
</options>
</cc_config>

sudo reboot

Then you will get Universe tasks on your Pi4. I do them in 8K - 16K seconds on my Pi4.
