movidius stick on pine64

[idata]

I wanted to use the neural computing stick on the PINE64 platform. CMIIW, from the web, I understood, if the stick works on raspberry(arm64, armv8) then it should work on PINE64

I have followed the instructions in the video links

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xud1T9DaFYand then for the raspberry pi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f39NFuZAj6s

when I was installing the *.deb packages in pi_jessie folder I ran into errors about incompatible architectires armhf and arm64

dpkg: error processing archive mvnc_1.07_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64)

for uname -a on pine64, I got

$ uname -aLinux pine64 3.10.105-bsp-1.2-ayufan-77 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 9 12:09:30 UTC 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/LinuxI am running xenial Ubuntu

I am going to install Armbian Ubunutu on pine64, I am hoping this may be armhf architecture

how do I get/install the armhf architecture on Pine64?any help is appreciatedThanks

I have installed armbian on pine64, yet I ran into same problem with the Ubuntu Xenial/longsleep

can anyone guide me how do I install the debian packages on Pine64?Does anyone have instructions to compile the packages(into .deb) from the sources?

I am pasting the output here from the pine64

pine64:~/ncapi/redist/pi_jessie$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

@dinu Sorry that you are having problems with using the NCS. The NCS and the Intel Movidius NCS SDK was designed for physical machine running x86 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 and Raspian Jessie on the Rasperry Pi. There is currently no support for other architectures/operating systems, but we will keep an open mind regarding other platforms. We appreciate your feedback and please feel free to the forums as your voice. Thanks.

@Tome_at_Intel I thought aarch64 architecture is same as the Raspberry Pi 3 and theoretically if the debian packages installed on Pi 3, then the debian packages should be installed on other ARM64 platforms like Pine64, I do not know where the differences are.

Appreciate your comment Thanks

RPI are 32-bit only devices not aarch64.

@victorv The last board from Raspberry is actually based on BCM2837 which is 64bit CPU.

@dinu Rather than installing debian packages maybe you can recompile the API yourself on the board. Just get the RPi3 version of the API and on the Pine64 you should try "make" and then "make install". Can you please try this and come back with what happened. Probably you will need "sudo" privileges I think.
