SRS for linux-arm

How to run SRS on ARM pcu?

• Run SRS on ARM: Client can play stream from ARM server.

Why run SRS on ARM?

The use scenario:

• Run SRS on ARM server, see #1282.
• Crossbuild for ARM embeded device, see #1547.

RaspberryPi

User is able to build and run SRS on RespberryPI. Please don't use crossbuild.

ARM Server: armv7, armv8(aarch64)

User is able to build and run SRS on ARM servers. Please don't use crossbuild.

./configure && make

Build SRS in ARM server docker, see aarch64

docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/srs -w /srs ossrs/srs:aarch64 \
    bash -c "./configure && make"

For armv8 or aarch64, user should specify the arch, if the CPU arch is not identified automatically, see #1282:

./configure --extra-flags='-D__aarch64__' && make

Run SRS:

./objs/srs -c conf/console.conf

Publish stream:

ffmpeg -re -i doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/livestream

Play stream：http://localhost:8080/live/livestream.flv

Ubuntu Cross Build SRS: ARMv8(aarch64)

Build SRS in docker(Ubuntu 16(xenial))：

cd ~/git/srs/trunk && docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/srs -w /srs \
    registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ossrs/srs:ubuntu16 bash

Install toolchain(optional):

apt-get install -y gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-aarch64-linux-gnu

Cross build SRS:

./configure --cross-build --cc=aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --cxx=aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ \
    --ar=aarch64-linux-gnu-ar --ld=aarch64-linux-gnu-ld --randlib=aarch64-linux-gnu-randlib &&
make

Run SRS on aarch64 docker:

cd ~/git/srs/trunk && docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/srs -w /srs \
    -p 1935:1935 -p 1985:1985 -p 8080:8080 arm64v8/ubuntu \
    ./objs/srs -c conf/console.conf

Publish stream:

ffmpeg -re -i doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/livestream

Play stream：http://localhost:8080/live/livestream.flv

Ubuntu Cross Build SRS: ARMv7

Cross build ST and OpenSSL on Ubuntu16.

Build SRS in docker(Ubuntu 16(xenial))：

cd ~/git/srs/trunk && docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/srs -w /srs \
    registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ossrs/srs:ubuntu16 bash

Install toolchain(optional), for example Acqua or RoadRunner board

apt-get install -y gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf

Cross build SRS:

./configure --cross-build --cc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --cxx=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ \
    --ar=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar --ld=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld --randlib=arm-linux-gnueabihf-randlib &&
make

Run SRS on ARMv7 docker:

cd ~/git/srs/trunk && docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/srs -w /srs \
    -p 1935:1935 -p 1985:1985 -p 8080:8080 armv7/armhf-ubuntu \
    ./objs/srs -c conf/console.conf

Publish stream:

ffmpeg -re -i doc/source.flv -c copy -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/livestream

Play stream：http://localhost:8080/live/livestream.flv
