Low-power devices such as Raspberry PIs are widely used by developers to come up with exciting products. Adding customized builds for ARM architectures would greatly help their efforts!

Hey everyone 👋

Sorry, I didn't get the notification until Felix ping!
Here are my thoughts on this matter:

  • Potential struggles to do an ARM build: We need one for PyTorch & one for TensorFlow + some IO-related lib will have an issue I suspect.
  • How this should be handled: with every release (or even every commit), a build will be needed. On other projects where this was required, we had a Raspberry PI running Github actions to build it for each release & commit. In this case, I cannot allocate my device to do this 😅 And it can be done on adhoc basis, but it's a long process (I used to be among the first to build PyTorch for ARM, and I can tell you that on a Pi 4 with 4Gb RAM, it was taking between 6 and 8 hours. So here it would be longer to do both the pytorch & tensorflow build 🙃

That being said @erdkse, if we put up a script to build it on your device when you see fit, would that help?
Cheers ✌️
