Want to call the APIs using an ARM-based device.
Hence like to compile the libraries to execute in an environment based on AArch64.
Request you to share the supporting libraries if Feasible.We currently do not support ARM based CPUs for any of our products. Our devices are recommended for use with Intel x86/x64 CPUs.

+1 for ARM64 support.
Right now we have a dedicated x86 machine for the signal hound and portability has basically gone out the window. We find ourselves taking our big SA on field trips because it’s simply less effort than dragging another computer along. All of us in the company are on ARM Macs, and with the industry shifting that way, we see more and more ARM laptops coming in the future. Regardless of OS.
If you already have Linux support, surely it shouldn’t be that hard to rebuild for ARM64. Is it really not possible?
We think it would add massive value to your tools. Meanwhile, there are a lot of competing solutions emerging that basically support any OS. It’s almost free to recompile to a different architecture these days
Thanks for the feedback. We are continually evaluating ARM as a target. It is unfortunately more involved than a recompile (otherwise we would definitely have done it!), there are large amounts of x86 specific code that need to be rewritten/refactored for ARM.

Sorry to keep beating a dead horse here. But really would like to have ARM support. I know you guys keep saying it’s not “Easy” but what would it take to help motivate this?
Crowd funding, Upgrade fee or whatever you want to use or call it. I would gladly pay it to help make this happen. Spike is literally the only software that makes me carry an entire separate machine on my travels these days.
Echoing others, please add ARM support. I used to used Spike on x86 Macs under Parallels. Now that Apple silicon is several years old, that’s no longer an option. Please provide modern Mac support!
Also, embedded Linux (Raspberry Pi, etc.) would be enormously helpful.
Thanks for making the best SA around.
