ARM64 Support?

Recommended Posts

Update: I modified "idlib/sys/sys_defines.h" and added the following lines:

#elif defined(__aarch64__)
#define CPUSTRING                        "aarch64"

I then started compiling and it actually failed at the end:

[100%] Linking CXX executable thedarkmod.x64

make: *** [Makefile:103: all] Error 2

Assuming it's not finding my local zlib and using its own, or? Any more help would be appreciated!

You need recent trunk, because 2.09 sources are not very suitable for non-x86 architectures.
The latest report about non-x86 CPUs is in this issue.

Basically, you need to:

  1. Fix the "unknown CPU" error --- you already did that.
  2. Build all third-party libs on your machine using conan. Note that TDM does not uses system libs.

You can go to ThirdParty/readme.md and read it. There should be explainations how to install conan, and how to build stuff. There is special section for unsupported CPUs (basically, you will need to pass some string keyword both to conan install and to cmake). Unfortunately, if some dependency does not build on your machine, they you have a big problem, since patching conan recipes is possible but not not easy at all.
Alternative option would be to hack system packages by modifying ThirdParty/cmake_find_package/*.cmake...

I think if you manage to overcome the dependencies issues, then TDM should build fine.
No idea what sort of errors you'll meet in runtime though...

While your platform is not officially supported, I could surely fix the build on it if I had access to it.
I wonder where did you get the workstation from...

@duzenko I am fairly new to living in an all ARM world, so much of my poking to get things working is complete guesswork I'll admit. Actually pulled libraries from my development packages into "ThirdParty/artefacts/../../lnx64.../" to get further, but this was too dirty and failed.

@stgatilov I set up my build directories and ran "svn checkout https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src/trunk" when I first attempted this, so I believe I am on latest unless I need to specify unstable branch with subversion. Conan is installed on my machine, and a few projects I've compiled recently have this integrated into CMake scripts. The conan readme.md y'all provided is very clear so I will start working on this and chime in if I need to be pointed somewhere assuming it doesn't get tedious.

In my experience on this platform so far I've yet to hit any major dependency hurdles other than trying to setup vulkan-sdk for example. I've been hacking away at this workstation build since around January of this year, working out various kinks and just now got to a point where my x86 machine has been off for a few months now. The board is a SolidRun HoneyComb LX2K and snagged it on sale for $650 at the time. Just started working on my documentation this past week but I'm trying to turn this into an open-source ARM gaming desktop, as silly as all that sounds: https://github.com/Wooty-B/LX2K_Guide

FYI Just got Steam running 2 days ago and did a happy dance, so trying to round out a nice selection of games to showcase and TDM has to be on there :)

HoneyComb LX2K

What's your estimate on single-thread FLOPS there? I'm kinda skeptical on its speed, considering it's 16 cores and passively cooled

EDIT I can see on some pictures it has a tiny cooler, but still looking like a 20-30W max. Something to drive a file server.

@duzenko Heres some on the fly bogompis like tests, need to run phoronix test suite later.

It's an ARM A-72 core, not an ARM-X1 or Apple M1, much less an x86 core... It's better at multi-threaded applications and is more comparable to an older i5 in terms of overall performance. It is a single heatblock with CPU (60W TDP) on bottom and GPU (35W TDP) on top. I'm using a Teensy to control RGB lighting, and a tiny 5v fan in case I'm using more than 12cores for an extended period of time, which will absolutely need the fan to move heat. Right now fan activates with a "Turbo" button, however I'm planning on having it read temps over USB and activate fan as needed. I hope on updating my guide and detailing the project in a video this week, I've been working on this for months and I am starting the benchmark phase.

Respectfully, that's a lot of numbers but no flops

I've been working on this for months and I am starting the benchmark phase.

I'd benchmark that on day 1 and that might as well have saved those months, LOL

Maybe just run any web benchmark?

@stgatilov I followed the readme.md conan instructions and was able to build all dependencies and compile "thedarkmod.custom". I navigated back to my base directory and into the newly populated darkmod folder. Running TDM gave me an error about "default.cfg" not being found, so I dropped the one from the source directory into the root of the TDM folder. Running again gives me a "Can't open journal files" and "Sys_Error: _default material not found" as a result.

I feel I am just missing some files that need to be manually placed, or something of that nature. Below is my output:

@duzenko Well I mainly got this as an ARM developer workstation and it's usefulness has surprised me, and most of this couldn't be possible without work from the single board computer community. My goal is geared more toward medium desktop usage/gaming, RISC computing enthusiasts, open firmware showcase and seeing the progress of ARM computing. I honestly don't know what audience this will gather but it's been a hobby and a journey and hope I can get a discussion and maybe even help from other users. The "Gaming" angle wasn't meant to be too misleading, but for the ARM world this thing is quite a powerhouse!

Do you have the game itself installed? It needs all the assets naturally

Here's a partial screenshot of the file content

@duzenkoTwo problems, first I did have my folders named darkmod in succession so I renamed to tdm and darkmod respectively. But the asset issue was fixed cause I forgot to run the flippin launcher... LOL So the engine boots up however...

@stgatilovThe first time running, it decompressed textures but the game wouldn't start. Launched a second time and I get a fullscreen window, but it hangs on a black screen, last item in terminal is "Async thread started".  When I run "thedarkmod.custom.debug" I get an ELF Exec error like it's compiled for wrong architecture, however a 'file' shows it is an aarch64 ARM executable. My terminal output below:

EDIT: I noticed below the line "Unknown command '#'", I do know one project I was compiling on required me to modify a C file and change the # hashtags to // double forward slashes as ARM assembly uses // for comments. *Shrug*

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
