Corona SDK support to x86 based android devises

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi All,

I wanted to know whether Corona SDK support x86 android devises? If yes, pls share the SDK link. Further, what is the effort involved in converting the existing corona based apps to x86 support as well.

Can anyone help me in sharing the SDK which supports x86 android as well.

Thanks in advance

This is a good question - Is Corona compatible with x86 Android devices or not?

#5

Corona SDK runs on ARMv7 devices only.  We do not support Android on x86.

Is there any roadmap to include x86? Is your company had tied up with anyone to include x86? Look forward for the reply.

Thnx,

So what is this: ?

We do not support Corona SDK on Atom devices.  One engineer commented that some higher end processors can probably convert ARMv7 to Atom on the fly and it might work.  Also that web page doesn’t say anything about Corona on Atom/x86, but just about Corona on Android.

This article informs that we can run Corona Apps on x86 Android device via ADB:

_ Building the Android APK:
Corona uses a cloud based build environment to build the lua code into an Android APK._
(…)

_ Launching the Android APK:
Launching the Android APK on an Intel® Android x86 device is easily accomplished by using the Android Debug Bridge(ADB).
(…)_

Probably this Intel’s engineer don’t know that this is not true…  :wacko:

But… Corona is based on Android NDK which can be also compiled to x86 code, then IMHO should be possible to build apk also for Intel’s CPU.

Engineering says that this is Intel converting the ARMv7 code on the fly, something called a translation layer.
