Hello, I just wanted to share my success in making Freenet run on my NAS, which is ARM architecture using Oracles Embedded Java 7. It required me to manually replace the wrapper with the latest version 3.5.17 binary (as ARM support was only introduced in 3.5.16 forward), but this worked fine with the old freenet-ext.jar file. Then I changed the wrapper.conf file to use SOCKET instead of PIPE, and that was all it took to make it work - albeit very slowly. I then started work on compiling libNativeThread & libjbigi for arm as well, and substituting them in freenet-ext.jar (ugly hack, but I didn't wish to deal with compiling all of freenet-ext.jar, as well as make it recognize my processor, etc.), and this worked fine. On restart it used both libs and ran noticably faster (despite only having a 2GHz Marvell ARM cpu and 512Mb RAM).
Only real problem I have now is that libjcpuid apparently only exists for x86 and I can't find the sources to try and compile it for ARM myself (if even possible). I do not know if that's the reason it uses too much CPU - between 90-100% at all times. But I managed to get it working on this alternative architecture, despite being rather new to both Linux and ARM, although with basic understanding of programming and compiling. It would not take much to make such support out of the box, as seen by my experiences, although of course optimizing could be another matter. But I guess getting freenet-ext.jar carved up in smaller parts would be a big help both for tweaking, and official support. But I definitely see an advantage in being available for ARM devices for a program that should ideally run 24/7. If I could get lower CPU usage it would run 24/7 at my place now. Any advise on configurations to tweak to try and lower it or insights regarding whether I'm correct in suspecting the lack of libjcpuid is why it's running full throttle all the time?
