AMP on Raspberry Pi 4B! (aarch64)
🕑 Added 2019-10-21 15:44:56 +0000 UTCIt seemed unfair to dangle the Raspberry Pi goal so close to all of you, a mere few tens of dollars away, but not deliver it. This morning our new Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB RAM) arrived. This afternoon, AMP was running on it!
This is a super early version, held together with string and duct tape. It's going to be a bit before this is available for public use.
We're running this on the new Ubuntu 19.10 release that came out a few days ago. Unlike Raspbian this is a proper 64-bit distribution which makes it more suitable for AMP. It's also going to be the only distribution we support for aarch64 (at least for the initial release) - like the x86_64 builds once we ship it you'll be able to install/update it via your package manager or using GetAMP.
If you've been waiting for this feature, consider upping your pledge so we can buy more Pi's and amass a fruity army to take over the wor... small server hosting space :)
As far as what AMP can do on an ARM system? Well ADS itself is well suited to it, since it uses very few resources and mostly just performs authentication, proxying and delegation. On higher end ARM systems such as the Pi 4B you could also run (small!) Minecraft servers. Any other applications that are platform agnostic (run in Java, or ship with aarch64 builds) could also conceivably run without too much hassle.
