Solved: RealSense Libraries(Cross Platform API) for ARM Architecture Linux OS

MPaka · ‎03-07-2017

Hello there,

Are there any RealSense Libraries or APIs available for ARM architecture on Linux OS

I want to create a project using Raspberry Pi 3 and RealSense

Thank you

Mohan

Raspberry Pi 3 uses USB 2.0 ports, whilst the RealSense camera requires USB 3.0. So the only way that RealSense could communicate with your Pi is if you created some kind of interface to bridge the two. Arduino board owners who face a similar issue use a serial connection to transmit data between the board and a PC with USB 3.0 that the camera is attached to.

There is not a version of RealSense especially for the ARM architecture, but you could use Librealsense, the open-source Linux compatible version of the RealSense SDK.
