Possible to run ArmV7 Apps on Manjaro?
#15
I'm quite certain that I'd tried the ESC key (amongst all the F keys and other key mashing).
I ended up cracking the EMMC out and connected it to Pine64 EMMC-USB adaptor (essential item if you end up bricking the OS).

Once re-flashed I was back in business.

After fumbling around I made the discovery that "building" a release was beyond my understanding and googling ability as there doesnt seem to be much information on building NW.js packages on ARM64.

I did stumble over a solution though when I discovered that by running the gulpfile with the dist task that i could run betaflight configurator simply be running "nw ." in the dist folder.

I managed this for 10.7.2 as the new 10.8.0-RC2 which both appear to operate correctly.

So of the top of my head the process was.
Install the required version of node.js, there are binaries for ARM64 available from the node website. configurator 10.7 needs node v10 and 10.8.0 needs node v14
I also installed the chrome variant of NW.js from https://github.com/LeonardLaszlo/nw.js-a...2021-12-11

once NW.js and node.js were installed and paths added, yarn was installed following the instructions on betaflight-configurator github pages.

'yarn gulp dist' would then "build" the required files and modules into the dist folder.
'nw .' from withing the dist folder would then launch betaflight configurator.....result!
a .desktop file can be created to add icons to the KDE menus and desktop as icon to launch directly without having to use the terminal

So not quite a solution to the original question, but if you are hoping to run betaflight-configurator on ARM64 then it is possible.

Hope you can get it going on your PinePhone @matusmatus 
So thanks for all the advice guys, not that I ended up using it but it's widened my otherwise slim knowledge.
