Announcement: Plugin has limited support on ARM devices

[cartermp]

Using this issue to track an announcement.

This plugin is not currently supported on ARM-based devices. If you find that something doesn't work for you, please check out the below issues first before filing a new one:

Linux: #2771
macOS: #4277 -- This can be addressed by updating macOS
macOS: #4605 -- This can be addressed by installing Rosetta
macOS: #4343
Windows: #3006
Windows: #3005

We're aware of the lack of support, and we're currently in the process of auditing tooling support across the .NET tooling stack on ARM-based devices to develop a better understanding of where the issues lie. When work to address those issues gets prioritized and done, we'll update this and other issues.

11 days pass .......... I think we need to know the roadmap about that , coz arm64 devices will more and more use for developer

[lokinfey]

any news about that ..... I think many .NETer need to use local debug in arm devices

We really need this. Until this is viable using .NET as a hobbyist on a raspberry pi is not viable. We need to be able to use remote-ssh in vs code and code against it and run and debug on it.

Picked up the Pi400 recently and it'd be great to have intellisense support so that we can work with the GPIO from C#/.NET for local development.

.NET Core's goal of being cross-platform is very great. OmniSharp should follow this too. I have .NET 5 on my Raspberry Pi, but I can't use this extension. I tried MonoDevelop one time, but that broke for no reason, even though Mono worked perfectly. I have a feeling Mono will be outdated in a year due to what .NET is becoming.

Not working on ARM64 as well, hope we get some love soon :)

If you're using remote-ssh, why not using remote debugging. OmniSharp-VSCode is supported remote debugging in ARM & ARM64.

Strong desire to native support Apple Silicon

+1 for ARM devices. Millions of M1 Macbook pro and Arm-based Windows Laptops are coming into the market now.

If you just want an autocomplete C# editor, you can try Omnisharp-Vim. You can refer to this blog post for the setup > https://mycsharpdeveloper.wordpress.com/2021/10/19/setting-up-a-csharp-autocomplete-ide-using-vim-on-pi-64-bit/

A prerelease build of the C# extension with experimental language server support for Linux Arm64 is available at https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/releases/tag/v1.23.18-beta1. You will need to set your "omnisharp.path" to "latest" as there is not a published release of O# for this platform. There is also no Razor language support in this build.

In case it isn't obvious, this extension support Windows ARM64 and macOS ARM64 already.

why does arm64 package still use amd64 version of mono?

[zhen8838]

how to use dotnet instead the OmniSharp's mono? I use the dotnet run ominisharp.exe but will got
