Description Of Issue

I was wondering if i could use the armv8 version of the manual install package with my device.
When I try to I get

Checking to see if RoonBridge can run on this machine

Checking for Binary Compatibility                            [ FAILED ]
Checking for ALSA Libraries                                  [ FAILED ]

STATUS: FAILED

The armv7 check script gets past this. Is there a diff between the 2 versions or should I just use the armv7

ARM Cortex-A53 (ARMv8 64bit) quad-core @ 1.5 GHz
It should be ARMv8.

thats what i saw. but i am able to get armv7 to work but not armv8. should i just be satisfied with that or keep trying to dig around to get armv8 to work?

[Henry_McLeod (Henry)]

If ARM7 works as you might expect then leave it. It could be that the OS in use is a branch of an ARM7 build hacked to work on an ARM8.

i asume the functionality present in the armv7 vs v8 bridge is the same? just made to work on the diff OS arch?

[Henry_McLeod (Henry)]

I can only assume the same. It should simply be a case of it runs or it doesn’t. If it runs it will behave identically.
