Arc On Windows 10 Viva Vitualbox Or Wine App

Is it possible to run ARC on windows 10 in a virtual box running in linux ubuntu 18.04? I was wondering becuase i was thinkn of investing in the nvidia Xavier which runs linux and is an extremely versatile in mobile applications, i want to use ARC and ez robot to learn coding with the c# and learn enough intil i feel it save to switch to the Xavier side, ARC and ezbv4 is the fastest way to use for beginners and intermediate and the Xavier is great for intermediate to professional and if i can learn c# then i can learn traditional c and then assembler to use in industrial usage later, sorry in ask so many questions but im trying to move into another career in as fast as possible and self taught to avoid over paying a vocation school for worthless results.

Yes, you can run ARC in a win10 virtualbox under linux. It is the config I am currently using. So far, every functions or plugins I have tested work (but I didn't try everything).

That's WAY too expensive of a portable computer to get. If you want something small that runs ARC great, use an Intel Up-board: https://up-board.org/

I am actually using one this very moment i am writing this response.

Or, get a lattepanda

Sweet i had a feeling it would work and never heard of a intel up-board will check it out, thanks u guys.

Sometimes the answer is around the corner:

Virtualization:

https://www.virtualbox.org/

VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use.It
VirtualBox only runs on Intel x86 / x64 or AMD x64.

System Requirements Systems using Processors (CPUs) launched in 2011 or later are supported except:
Intel Atom processors based on the 2011 Bonnell micro-architecture (e.g. Atom Z670/Z650; Atom N570) Systems using Intel Atom processors based on the 2012 Saltwell micro-architecture (e.g. Atom S1200, Atom D2700/D2500, Atom N2800/N2600). Systems using AMD processors based on the Llano and Bobcat micro-architectures (e.g. code-named Hondo, Ontario, Zacate, Llano)

In addition the following are supported: Systems using Intel processors based on the 2010 Westmere micro-architecture (e.g. Xeon 5600, Xeon 3600, Core i7-970, Core i7-980, Core i7-990) 1.3GHz or faster core speed 2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM or more recommended

Once again Intel hardware.

Then you have specialized (not for consumers/beginners): XEN https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Software_Overview QEMU: https://www.qemu.org/

if you pick a product ABC the best source is the product website.

To summarize:  Yes you can run Windows virtual machine on a Linux host, but only if the hardware is Intel or AMD.

Virtualization does not handle emulation, so if your host is x86 you can't have x64 or ARM guest.

QEMU can be installed on Raspberry PI (ARM) and can run a cripple unsupported Windows (ARM not Intel) image.

NVIDIA boards are ARM, theoretically you can run QEMU virtualization, and maybe a very cripple Windows image.

You are a beginner, stay with Intel, Windows, ARC.

Why look for low level expensive reserved for professional/enterprise products when you are in an early stage ?

Wine runs x86 or x64 applications, like virtualization wine does not handle hardware emulation, so if your linux host is Intel you can run some windows applications through Wine.

more info: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_there_a_64_bit_Wine.3F https://wiki.winehq.org/ARM

even if you use an Intel Linux, Wine .NET compatibility is very limited e.g. SAPI (Speech APIs) are the same used with Windows XP.

Wine is not supported neither endorsed by Microsoft, due to commercial copyrights, they can't use original windows binaries only available through a commercial windows license, so the main idea is to create a windows 32 environment (not an emulation) on top of Linux to run win32/64 applications.

Once again I don't recommend for a beginner, if you have a lot of time to spare, good luck, otherwise stay far.

jut thought I say, wow,  ptp, haven't thought of Virtualization:, hypervisors, VMware - in a long time, did that years ago, I know it is still going strong.

I still enjoy Linux - I still run a Linux Debian server...

The lattepanda can run Arc.

for wine site: 32 bit Wine runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux/Unix installations. 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications will run on it.

So ARC will run

my 2 cents,

thanks

Thanks ptp im glad u said that, cuz id been so mad if i bought the Xavier and it wouldnt use it lol, i think ill stick to the latta panda then, seems to be the best small mobile solution other than a laptop lol, and at least i know it will run ARC lol.

LattePanda is good - but i think the Up Board is better bang for the buck. Again, i've been using an Up Board and it's rock'n pretty good. For the price, it's a lot cheaper than latte panda
