1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Computer type not supported Message 111027 Posted 9 Feb 2023 by grid_compute	Thanks. This suggestion worked for me. I added aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu as an alt_platform option in the cc_config.xml. I was then able to complete tasks for Asteroids. Unfortunately, Universe still does not support this platform but that's ok.
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Computer type not supported Message 111011 Posted 7 Feb 2023 by grid_compute	I'm running BOINC on a custom single board computer with an ARM64 processor. I'm having trouble getting tasks from projects because it claims my computer isn't supported. For example, I received the message: "07-Feb-2023 04:43:10 [Universe@Home] This project doesn't support computers of type aarch64-poky-linux". Is there a way to tell a project that you are running some linux machine with an arm64 architecture?
