Operating AD2 board using SDKs on Raspbian (raspios_arm64) Raspberry Pi 4, Model B

Dear Help,

is it possible to compile the SDKs to operate the AD2 board from Raspbian (raspios_arm64)? please can you point out any reference or manual to compile it,

I am using both scopes and WaveGen

thank you,

Hi @attila

I did install digilent.adept.runtime but I keep getting an error when I try to install digilent.waveforms_3.17.1_arm64.deb because of this dependency, please see below, please can you point me to a solution? thank you 

I keep getting the following:

Hi @ssm

Try: sudo apt fix-broken install

Hi @attila

thanks for the reply,

it seems to remove the package, otherwise if I keep it and try to compile my code it doesn't complete:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

finally it worked, when I used the following:

sudo dpkg -i digilent.waveforms_3.17.1_arm64.deb

the one below did not work, it kept showing me that adept is not installed:

sudo apt-get install digilent.adept.runtime

thank you @attila
