Hi !
After some research I've come to understand that it may be possible to run packages built for armv7l on a linux built for armv8 basically running 32bit on a 64bit linux.
I believe this would require some change regarding the rootfs but that's as far as I got, I don't seem to find any more information on the matter.
My problem is that I would like to use my Pine64 to build a MagicMirror2 and this requires electron which isn't built for arm64/armv8. At first I thought about cross-compiling electron for arm64 but this seems to be quite difficult too for the newbie that I am.
So my questions are : Is this possible ? and if so how should I proceed ?
(P.S.: Thank you for your hard work, Debian runs like a charm on the Pine64+ that I have
)
