There is an idea for Logic 1, but it looks abandoned: https://ideas.saleae.com/b/logic-1-legacy/offer-linux-builds-for-arm-arm64-and-power/

A version for Raspberry Pi (ARM) is definitely needed. At least a data gathering agent would allow to set up a cheap and effective probe for remote debugging of noisy or massive/hard-to-relocate/hard-to-access equipment.

Saleae Edit: Changed Title to include Apple M1

"Thanks for your openness about the technical challenges. I am sure you can manage them. We would be happy to participate in a private beta and give extensive feedback for using Saleae on Linux/ARM64."

Daniel

We would like to use your great logic analyzers for debugging a farm of automated test platforms. They are all running on ARM64 however. Please provide a ARM64/linux build.

Tim

Our CTO and Founder, Mark, has detailed some challenges with getting this feature implemented in a forum post below:

"Are there plans to also release native arm binaries for Logic 2?

For Apple M1 there is Rosetta - but that’s not really a long term strategy.
At least for me it would be a deal breaker if there isn’t anything on the roadmap.

So - what’s the plan?"

Tim

"I am a small hobbyist and to tinker, my computer is a Raspberry Pi 400 (that is a wonderful and powerful low cost hardware).
For that reason, it would be great if your software "Logic 2" software could run on this ARM based hardware."

"Do you have a version for ARM64 specifically the Raspberry Pi."

"@saleae any chance you will make an android app to run your analyzers? It would be awesome to have a small portable solution!"

"Feature Request - phone application and connection to smart phone

1. every person have smart phone and it will be more easy to use smart phone to collect data .
2.some times the problem that can start from some reason at laptop that be because windows or driver .
3.it can be good feature , as a person that use it every day i think that it sometimes help full to use smartphone as a logger and as a display."

Jens

I really think this is a mist have! For my automation this would really be Nice Addition. Raspberry pi with git and Ci Plattform with logic analyzer for detailed signal Verification.

Hunter

You need to migrate for Mac M1, and there is no reason not to support ARM linux. Please fix this...

David

I would sure like Logic2 to work on my RPi 4b

Apple has now released 3 models of Mac computers with the ARM64 cpu architecture. Despite having Rosetta translation, Logic crashes on launch, rendering the Saleae Logic Analyzers unusable on new Apple Mac hardware.

Matt

I too would like an ARM build; specifically for the Pinebook PRO but generic arm64 would be fine.
