Emulator Now Runs x86 Apps On All Raspberry Pi Models

[wraggster]

Russia-based Eltechs announced its ExaGear Desktop virtual machine last August (http://linux.slashdot.org/story/14/08/23/0010241/virtual-machine-brings-x86-linux-apps-to-armv7-devices), enabling Linux/ARMv7 SBCs and mini-PCs to run x86 software. That meant that users of the quad-core, Cortex-A7-based Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, could use it as well, although the software was not yet optimized for it. Now Eltechs has extended extended ExaGear to support earlier ARMv6 versions of the Raspberry Pi (http://linuxgizmos.com/emulator-now-runs-x86-apps-on-all-raspberry-pi-models/). The company also optimized the emulator for the Pi 2 allowing, for example, Pi 2 users to use automatically forwarding startup scripts.
