Waveforms failing to install on Raspberry pi

[Jared]

I have tried to install waveforms on my Raspberry pi 4 running 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS. Adept appears to have been successful, but waveforms failed with the error below.

Failed to install file

A package could not be found that allows the action to complete. More information is available in the detailed report.

 

I am installing digilent.adept.runtime_2.27.9-armhf.deb and digilent.waveforms_3.19.5_arm64.deb. I do not know where the "detailed report" is located so I don't know how to troubleshoot this. I have had this problem for almost 10 months and gave up. Now I'm trying again in hopes to solve this.

EDIT:

Trying dpkg I get the following. Seems The waveforms installer is not finding the adept installation for some reason. It is telling me I need adept runtime greater than or equal to 2.26.1, but as I listed about I installed version 2.27.9, so I don't know what the problem is.

Ok... Problem solved...

I was downloading the "Linux ARM-Raspberry Pi" version of adept. I noticed there is not distinction between the 64 bit and 32 bit version of Raspberry Pi as there is for waveforms, so I tried the "Linux ARM-64-bit.deb" file instead. This file permitted me to install waveforms and connect to the Analog Discovery 2. 

Might I suggest making it clear which file you need to download for the Rpi 32 bit and Rpi 64 bit? I cant tell you how much time I wasted trying to figure this out.

Hi @Jared

The variant is shown in both WF and RPi download.
