Hello,
I am having an issue with Deken on Raspberry Pi running the latest version of Debian 12 and pd 0.54-1.
The problem is that Deken is not showing the ELSE external, nor many other externals available for Linux-Arm64-32.
When starting deken says Platform detected: Linux-aarch64-float32" and "Platform re-detected: Linux-armv8-float32".
Hi, to add on the discussion, Francisco talked to me in private and I asked him to bring this to the list.
First, I stopped offering raspberry pi binaries for amv8 for a while now. Joseph (Linux ROUEN Normandie) said that that it'd be really rare for someone to use it, and Francisco is using it and needs it, so I'd like to get this straight. Apparently I should bother and offer these binaries again. Francisco, do you know why you need this and not something else? Joseph, can you join in the discussion and tell us again why this should not be necessary?
Last release I have with 'armv8' binaries is rc6, still up in deken. Francisco confirmed they work, but it doesn't show up for him! I am now about to release rc11, and I keep only the 5 last releases in the serve so I don't take too much space, so rc6 is about to be deleted. I just uploaded (after Francisco's email) rc11 binaries for pi (armv6, armv7 and armv8). It's up in deken... I dont think I need the 3 of them, but is seems I need at least 2, right?
Now, these uploaded packagee misses 4 objects, [sfont~], [circuit~], [sfz~] and [plaits~]. I need help compiling them for armv8 and whatever ELSE I need to provide, so what we have up there now is just a *test* until we can figure things out. The dekn system uploaded the packages as 'Linux-arm64-32 / Linux-armv7-32 / Linux-armv6-32'. Francisco seems to need 'Linux-arm64-32', ('armv8'), and it doesn't show.

see?
When starting deken says Platform detected: Linux-aarch64-float32" and "Platform re-detected: Linux-armv8-float32".
Why both? Now I wonder that maybe it should have detected 'Linux-arm64-32' instead? I don't know...
cheers
Well - well, who said I have said that !? 😕
Now on my RPi 400, I'm running since few weeks the latest RPi OS 12 64-bit (Debian Bookworm). At least up to few weeks ago Else was not available for this platform, except the old v.1.0-0 rc-6.
This why for each release I 'm building Else from its source code including the missing 4 objects [sfont~], [circuit~], [sfz~] and [plaits~].
Here my understanding is for seeing the available librairies in Deken we need to change the Default platform 'Linux-armv8-32' to the User defined-platform 'Linux-arm64-32'. See the attached screen capture.

What I said about 2 months ago is:
Bullseye).
64-bit capable.
Since RPi OS 12 64-bit (based on Debian Bookworm) became official on 11th Oct. 2023 https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/bookworm-the-new-version-of-raspberry-pi-os/, this one will slowly but surely replace RPi OS 11/12 32-bit on the compatible hardware; i.e. 3B, 3B+, 3A+, 4B, 400, 5, CM3, CM3+, CM4, CM4S, and Zero 2 W.
My RPi 400 (4 GB RAM) has a chip-set which can run both 32 and 64-bit OSs. Up to about 2 months ago I was only running under RPi OS 11 32-bit, as recommended by the RPi Foundation (64-bit was not considered as being enough completed). Now I'm also running under RPi OS 12 64-bit but this one is still buggy vs. the previous 32-bit version.
Regarding Pd/Deken (I built it from the source code), I was obliged for both RPi OS 11 32-bit and RPi OS 12 64-bit to change the default platform to a user-defined platform to be able to get access to a larger externals offer.
During my Pd 0.54-1 compilation under RPi OS 12 64-bit I got: pd 0.54.1 is now configured Platform: Linux Float size: default ... Deken identifier: linux-arm64 ...
After my today RPi OS 12 64-bit system update, I have: OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0 Kernel: 6.1.0-_rpi8_-rpi-v8 -when just few hours ago I had- OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0 Kernel: 6.1.0-_rpi7_-rpi-v8 -when just after this OS installation I had- OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0 Kernel: 6.1.0-_rpi6_-rpi-v8
I hope this clarifies a little bit my previous writings. 😉
The Pd/Deken platform detection issue remains open.

I see, while we're at it, can I ask you to help me compiling just [plaits~], [circuit~], [sfz~] and [sfont~] for the needed architectures as soon as I have an official release out in a couple of days?

Just compile for me now with both of the systems please, like you did last time but this time also for armv8 (Linux-arm64-32). I'll upload to deken and we'll see what is the other one you have (I guess it's armv7-32) and we'll leave it at that and ditch the other one, probably armv6
please just compile with the specific appropriate binary extension: " *.l_arm64*" for armv8, and "*.l_arm*" for the other one.
RC11 is ready and here https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v.1.0-rc11
I can actually compile for pi with a virtual machine, but not for plaits~, circuit~, sfz~ and sfont~. So you can try and just compile these for armv8. Note that the trickiest one is sfont~, which needs to collect the dependencies via a script. Since rc10, only plaits~ changed, so I would only ask for that one for armv7 (since I already have the binaries from the last release), but I need all those four for armv8 at least. If you are up and game for it, you can just run the full compilation for extra fun in both cases.
Thanks a lot
What I have done on my RPi 400 regarding myself compiled Pd versions from 0.53-0 to 0.54-1:
- Pd/Deken installed under RPi OS 11 32-bit Default platform 'Linux-armv6-32' => User defined-platform
'Linux-arm7-32'
- Pd/Deken installed under RPi OS 12 64-bit (only Pd 0.54-1) Default platform 'Linux-armv8-32' => User defined-platform
'Linux-arm64-32' And for your externals I have compiled Else 1.0-0 rc-10, including the above 4 [*~] objects, from the source code and installed manually Cyclone from the unzipped 'cyclone-0.8.0_armv8_Linux64.zip'.
- If not and in both OS versions only very few and old externals were
found by Pd/Deken.

Since RPi OS 12 64-bit (based on Debian Bookworm) became official on 11th Oct. 2023 https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/bookworm-the-new-version-of-raspberry-pi-os/, this one will slowly but surely replace RPi OS 11/12 32-bit on the compatible hardware; i.e. 3B, 3B+, 3A+, 4B, 400, 5, CM3, CM3+, CM4, CM4S, and Zero 2 W.
My RPi 400 (4 GB RAM) has a chip-set which can run both 32 and 64-bit OSs. Up to about 2 months ago I was only running under RPi OS 11 32-bit, as recommended by the RPi Foundation (64-bit was not considered as being enough completed). Now I'm also running under RPi OS 12 64-bit but this one is still buggy vs. the previous 32-bit version.
Regarding Pd/Deken (I built it from the source code), I was obliged for both RPi OS 11 32-bit and RPi OS 12 64-bit to change the default platform to a user-defined platform to be able to get access to a larger externals offer.
During my Pd 0.54-1 compilation under RPi OS 12 64-bit I got: pd 0.54.1 is now configured Platform: Linux Float size: default ... Deken identifier: linux-arm64 ...
After my today RPi OS 12 64-bit system update, I have: OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0 Kernel: 6.1.0-*rpi8*-rpi-v8 -when just few hours ago I had- OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0 Kernel: 6.1.0-*rpi7*-rpi-v8 -when just after this OS installation I had- OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0 Kernel: 6.1.0-*rpi6*-rpi-v8
I hope this clarifies a little bit my previous writings. 😉
The Pd/Deken platform detection issue remains open.

Well - well, who said I have said that !? 😕
I can clearly be wrong with what you said, but then explain again please :) I just remember something that you mentioned armv8 64 bits is really rare
Now on my RPi 400, I'm running since few weeks the latest RPi OS 12 64-bit (Debian Bookworm). At least up to few weeks ago Else was not available for this platform, except the old v.1.0-0 rc-6.
This why for each release I 'm building Else from its source code including the missing 4 objects [sfont~], [circuit~], [sfz~] and [plaits~].
Here my understanding is for seeing the available librairies in Deken we need to change the Default platform 'Linux-armv8-32' to the User defined-platform 'Linux-arm64-32'. See the attached screen capture.
But shouldn’t it get it right without this?
Best, Joseph

Hi, to add on the discussion, Francisco talked to me in private and I asked him to bring this to the list.
First, I stopped offering raspberry pi binaries for amv8 for a while now. Joseph (Linux ROUEN Normandie) said that that it'd be really rare for someone to use it, and Francisco is using it and needs it, so I'd like to get this straight. Apparently I should bother and offer these binaries again. Francisco, do you know why you need this and not something else? Joseph, can you join in the discussion and tell us again why this should not be necessary?
Last release I have with 'armv8' binaries is rc6, still up in deken. Francisco confirmed they work, but it doesn't show up for him! I am now about to release rc11, and I keep only the 5 last releases in the serve so I don't take too much space, so rc6 is about to be deleted. I just uploaded (after Francisco's email) rc11 binaries for pi (armv6, armv7 and armv8). It's up in deken... I dont think I need the 3 of them, but is seems I need at least 2, right?
Now, these uploaded packagee misses 4 objects, [sfont~], [circuit~], [sfz~] and [plaits~]. I need help compiling them for armv8 and whatever ELSE I need to provide, so what we have up there now is just a *test* until we can figure things out. The dekn system uploaded the packages as 'Linux-arm64-32 / Linux-armv7-32 / Linux-armv6-32'. Francisco seems to need 'Linux-arm64-32', ('armv8'), and it doesn't show.

see?
When starting deken says Platform detected: Linux-aarch64-float32" and "Platform re-detected: Linux-armv8-float32".
Why both? Now I wonder that maybe it should have detected 'Linux-arm64-32' instead? I don't know...
cheers

time but this time also for armv8 (Linux-arm64-32). I'll upload to deken
please do not use "armv8" synonymously with "arm64". in the context of deken, the former is a 32bit architecture, whereas the latter is a 64bit architecture and are therefore incompatible (that is: you cannot load an armv8 external in an arm64 Pd; and vice versa).
if the two architectures were the same, we wouldn't have this entire thread.

Hello,
I am having an issue with Deken on Raspberry Pi running the latest version of Debian 12 and pd 0.54-1.
The problem is that Deken is not showing the ELSE external, nor many other externals available for Linux-Arm64-32.
When starting deken says Platform detected: Linux-aarch64-float32" and "Platform re-detected: Linux-armv8-float32".
thanks for the bug-report. with the (off-list) help of joseph i was able to track down the source of this problem, and it is indeed a bug in Pd's CPU detection code.
i've opened a ticket https://bugs.puredata.info/2190
there are a couple of workarounds:
can do as joseph suggested and change the platform specifyer to "Linux-arm64-32" in the deken preferences 2. a more permanent (and future proof) fix requires recompilation: just add "--with-deken-cpu=arm64" to the configure flags (obviously you should *only* do this for creating a binary for the arm64 platform)
a *proper* fix has been submitted to Pd's "develop" branch (sowill appear in the next Pd release).
i'll update the Debian packages soon (hopefully tomorrow)
