RPi4 64-bit ARM64 / AARCH64 Support

[Definitely No Cheese In A Can]

OS: ubuntu server 18.04 (https://github.com/TheRemote/Ubuntu-Server-raspi4-unofficial)
Hardware: Rpi 4 4gb

Trying to install steamlink. There are no candidates for the arm64 architecture, so I tried adding a new architecture
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
armhf

sudo apt-get update
steamlink

some packages are missing, so I manually tried installing them (such as libjpeg62-turbo).
However, I cant find an installation candidate for libraspberrypi0

E: Unable to locate package libraspberrypi0:armhf

I also get the following two errors:

shell: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
screenblank: error while loading shared libraries: libbcm_host.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The shell error supposedly relates to zlib1g, which I have the latest version of.


Anyone manage to install steamlink in an arm64 architecture?

I'm running Raspbian in my Pi 4B and you just sudo apt-get install steamlink

thanks for your reply but my question was specifically about a 64-bit build.

[LoGnomo]

Have you achieved something? I'm trying to do the same. Not sure that installing all library in armhf version down to gcc is the right way.

I've sort of ditched this project as an RPI can only do so much, and currently its used as a NAS and media streaming server. Please do comment to this thread if you find something interesting to add to the discussion.

With the new updates the rpi is actually quite fast so it would likely also work on the armhf build (did not test).
If you plan to continue, I would recommend getting a cheap ssd +usb3 to sata connector, which is probably the best hardware improvement you can do. Active cooling and overclocking it to 2ghz makes it really fast.

Slighly related - I am running raspbian (which is 32 bit userspace) with their official 64bit kernel + debian 64bit in nspawn container + docker with 64bit containers and (32bit) steamlink works together with 64bit stuff on such system.

Nowadays running it like this is easy, just

sudo apt-get install -y raspbian-nspawn-64

check https://github.com/sakaki-/raspbian-nspawn-64/releases

So it s not 64bit only but you get best of both worlds.

Spent last 24 hours getting RaspiOS buster 64 bit running (removing Pixel and installing XFCE and tweaking) on my 8 GB RPi 4, and just got steamlink installed (I'd already done "sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf") without issues, (armhf version was installed) - but it won't start, and doesn't give any feedback (or leave any logs I can can find)... Not too concernted, it would be a "nice to have", but I've got a spare RPi3B I could run it on if needs be - and my google-fu search tonight for "steam link arm64" announced that Apple have finally relented and let the Steam Link app into the Apple App Store (is that old news?) (note I've installed other armhf packages on this Pi - e.g. Citrix ICA client for armhf...

My arm64 Pi (Raspbian Buster) was able to find this package, and install it, and to satisfy all its dependancies, happily proceeded to REMOVE all my arm64 packages (e.g. xfce4), and replace them with armhf - i.e. it destroyed my arm64 install... back to the drawing board :D

This was sometime after unsuccessful attempts to install Steam Link armhf - I was installing something else (omxplayer I think), and each time I had unmet armhf dependancies - and finally did :

sudo apt install libavcodec58:armhf libavformat58:armhf libraspberrypi0:armhf libssh-gcrypt-4:armhf libraspberrypi0:armhf libgssapi-krb5-2:armhf libkrb5-3:armhf libssl1.1:armhf

honestly, i wouldn't spend time on it until there is an arm64 build :/

[josekiller]

any news on this? I'd love to have steamlink on my arm64 ubuntu mate (rpi4)

[Tiber Septim]

I'm interested in this too.

I just finished installing the official steamlink.deb for RPI on my RPI4 4GB running Arch Linux.
I had to convert the deb to work on Arch but that was much easier than expected (using debtap and installing some dependencies manually)

However, I got the same issues as the others in this thread: SL is looking for 32bit libraries... and I'm not gonna go down that rabbit hole...

Since RPI from now on is gonna be 64bit (the latest model and the future ones), it'd be really nice to see a 64bit version of SteamLink
Until then, I'm just going to wait

[Captain Oatchi]

Has anybody made any progress with this?
This seems to be the only active thread when I search for this specific issue and I'm hoping it's fixable if someone can find the right packages to grab
Fingers crossed that Valve updates this soon, but I doubt it

[Frozen]

I've successfully installed the official deb on Ubuntu 18.04 arm64 by adding armhf as a foreign architecture and installing any armhf packages the deb complained about missing.

But when I launch the application, it says I must be running on a Raspberry Pi 3 or newer.

[NKnuelle]

Maybe it would be a good idea to start a petition or something? So that Valve gets some pressure to release a arm64 version..

Has anyone installed it in the new Ubuntu 20.10 for rasberry pi?

I second this; trying without much success...
