Hello fbarresi,

when i try to run SoftPlc on Macbook Pro M1, i am getting below error. i have already move files from native folder to net6.0 folder.
if you have any suggestion it would be great.

Hi!

What do you mean with you copied the native files into the .net6 folder?

The related native library should be copied into your destination build path.

Eventually, we might need to provide the native libra compiled for m1.

Did you already give a try with docker?

Best regards,
FB

Hi fbarresi,

"The related native library should be copied into your destination build path." I did that. But error is about low level addressing issue, so compatibility issue with m1 processor. because i have limited time to complete project, i purchased a windows pc for now.

i also tried docker on mac, but again i get compatibility related errors. so i gave up and switched to windows pc. but compiling for m1 processors, should be good.

thanks for your reply and support.

have a nice day.

All right.
I always had a bunch of such simulated plc running as a docker on a raspberry pi, so that might be an alternative.
I will look for this compatibility fix and update the project. Sadly, I don't have the chance to quickly rebuild on this architecture, so it might take a while.

Best regards,
FB

as i said, now i dont need a solution because i buy windows pc. but for others may suffer from the same issue, making mac(osx) version can be good.

Thank you for your support.

I'm using it with Docker on M3 MacBook and it works
This is my docker configuration

  plc_simulation:
    hostname: plc_simulation
    container_name: plc_simulation
    image: fbarresi/softplc:latest-linux
    ports:
      - 8031:8080
      - 4431:443
      - 102:102  
    volumes:
      - plc_data:/data

I'm using Docker Desktop 4.32.0 (157355).

There are also the PR to complete in order to make it work
