CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC on Raspberry Pi

  • Hi,

    I'd like to run some x86 only software on my Raspberry Pi 3 and I was following this blog (but with an arm host and x86 binaries):

    Transparently running binaries from any architecture in Linux with QEMU and binfmt_misc – Own your bits

    I created a docker image with qemu and an x86 Debian buster chroot but I noticed that the 4.19 kernel does not have binfmt_misc support.

    I was poking around and I saw at least one Linux 5 kernel that already had it so maybe LE 10 will have this when it comes out but it would be nice if the next release of 9 had it too.

    I'm loving LE...I can finally transcode DTS audio to my soundbar that only supports Dolby Digital. Kudos to everyone who has contributed.

  • I was able to get Debian stretch to work. Buster segfaults when running ldconfig for some reason. I built LE with

    and then I built this Dockerfile

    It's slow but it works.
