Yes, that is correct. As we do not test or build for ARM targets, we cannot state that we support the architecture.

But it seems that users in the forum has been successful getting pc-ble-driver running on the RPi.

So that would also apply to Raspberry Pi ?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the pc-ble-driver does not support the ARM platform, so the helper scripts does not fully install the deps for your platform.

This can be seen from the ARCH's available:

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver#Compiling-pc-ble-driver-on-Ubuntu-Linux-or-macOS

You can try to install the dependencies manually, but we cannot guarantee that it will compile and run properly on ARM, as we do not test against this architecture.

Kind regards,

Håkon

That doesn't help me develop a custom solution in a small package for a customer.
