Wiki migration to ARM¶
We would like DoudouLinux to run on ARM platforms because:
- ARM processors are more and more used, particularly in handheld devices
- ARM platforms are cheaper than x86 platforms
- ARM platforms require less electrical energy than x86 platforms
However there are currently issues that will make this migration quite difficult:
- the official Debian ARM port is not efficient, a new port is on the road but not ready yet
- Debian Live scripts do not officially support ARM (see What is a live system? on live.debian.net)
