Odroid binary support?

cringely · 07-10-2016, 09:23 AM

My three sons (14, 12, 10) build little ARM-based Minecraft multiuser servers based on Odroid single board computers. At present they support Vanilla and Spigot servers but would really like to support Cuberite as well because it's so much better. They have Cuberite running beautifully on their Mineserver (Odroid C1+), Mineserver Pro (Odroid XU4), and Mineserver II (Odroid C2). If you are familiar with Mojang policies you know that they won't allow Minecraft servers to be shipped with the server software installed -- it has to be downloaded and compiled and/or installed. So my boys would like you to host their Odroid binaries just like your Intel and other binaries which already include Raspberrry Pi. They'll be happy to make a donation to help this happen. And of course anyone who wants to just buy their own Odroid from the manufacturer can use the binaries. So how do we set this up? If you aren't familiar with Odroids, they are similar to Raspberry Pi only substantially more powerful. A Mineserver running Cuberite can support 20 simultaneous users while a Mineserver Pro can support up to 50. The Mineserver II is still in testing.

Hi there!

I run the Cuberite buildserver (https://builds.cuberite.org) and I would be happy to help out with getting builds for the odroids. I will have to do some investigation later today about cross-compiling (so I don't have to buy the actual boards) but I would like to get a build up and running.

However, I do want to say that we are not Mojang, and all the restrictions imposed on our software are detailed in the software license ( https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite/blo...er/LICENSE ) which allows free redistribution as long as you provide a copy of the license and attribution.

This is great news! How do we move forward? We have the assistance of a consultant with deep Minecraft server experience and he stands ready to do whatever he can to help.

@cringely I have started work on cross-compiling for the hardware as I don't have any of the actual hardware at my disposal.

I just need to get a few kinks sorted out but it should be ready for you to test soon.

OK - since I don't have any hardware to test it on I've set up a C2 build that I would like you to test:

https://builds.cuberite.org/job/Cuberite...%20Master/

If that works it won't be too hard to set up builds for the other ODROIDs. If there's anything else that you needed done just ask.

We will get right on this, but I'm also willing to send you the hardware if that is easier. Just tell me where to send it (them).

I've also got a bit of time free next week to try and do console arguments, so that might be coming soon also.

I used to provide builds for the Odroid-XU3/XU4 at one point. I can recompile from source and give you a dl for the binaries. Not too sure about the C1 and C2 as I don't own them.

bearbin · 07-23-2016, 06:48 AM

@cringely I was just wondering if the build I sent over worked or not. I would like to get the rest of them fixed up.

I just spoke with Clinton Collins, who is testing your build -- or will be testing it, he promises, this weekend. Sorry for the delay. I'll get back to you by Sunday.
