Thanks in advance and best regards,

Could you described your setup and use case in more detail? What os are you running on the ARM target?

Hi, I am trying to compile the pc-ble-driver-py for arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf-gcc included in buildroot 2016.05-git-26254-gbf8ec7c-dirty. I will need it since I am going to use the driver within the atmel sama5d3 xplained board to comunicate to the nordic nrf51 dongle through the python ble scripts. The ideia is to use the atmel board as a border gateway between the ble sensors and a ip server controller. The ip server will receive the sensors data information through the atmel border gateway and it will do some task related to this informations.

Hi,

Unfortunately, we have not tried any cross compilation of pc-ble-driver-py. The closest would be that it has been compiled on a Raspberry Pi, which also has ARM core. This was done on the Pi, so no cross compilation was used.

In theory it should be possible to cross compile it, but you will have to compile Boost using the same compiler.

Best regards,

Jørgen
