But why? Don't you have a regular computer, x86 based, desktop or laptop?
I have regular computer with intel E3-1230V2 CPU.

I have interest in trying new Development board ;)

Thanks you very much

Did you find a way to get FreeCAD Installed on the Jetson? I am trying to do the same and getting similar errors

You probably have to compile it yourself.

Ready-made packages for ARM and ARM64 probably do not exist.

You should look up a guide to compile FreeCAD on the Raspberry Pi 3 or 4, and adapt it to your own Jetson computer.
Always add the important information to your posts if you need help. Also see Tutorials and Video tutorials.

On 20190924 its written:

"Wait, what? Aarch64? That's an ARM 64-bit architecture, not a standard x86 desktop processor.
What are you using?
I asked you to clarify what "Jetson nano" is. Then you showed Ubuntu. Are you using an ARM distribution based on Ubuntu?
The AppImage is intended for x86_64 distributions; it will not run on ARM.
In general, ARM architectures aren't well supported by FreeCAD. The graphics libraries, Coin3D, OpenGL, etc., don't have the best support there. Apparently FreeCAD can work on a Raspberry Pi 3, but not on a Raspberry Pi 4. It was mostly tested on Raspbian, based on Debian, and using "armhf" architecture which is 32-bit, not "aarch64" which is 64-bit."


Any news on this? I have Jetson Nano here. Soon the SD Card will be reformatted. That would be a good opportunity to possibly waste half an hour in trying to install. What commands do i need to enter?
