Rust Tauri ❤️ Raspberry Pi

Out-of-the-box tool that cross compile a rust tauri project for raspberry pi target.

Usage

One can run xcompile.sh -h and see:

Cross compile a rust tauri application to debian package for raspberry pi (armhf/arm64).

Syntax: ./xcompile.sh [-c|h] [-e|n|p|t|a ARG]

Option:
  -e <DEBIAN_VERSION>
          to set debian version of compilation environment
          available versions are bookworm (debian 12, default) and bullseye (debian 11)
  -n <PROJECT_NAME>
          to set compilation target project
          default value is project
  -p <PROJECT_PATH>
          to set path of compilation target project
          default value is ./project
  -a <RASP_ARCH>
          to set architecture of raspberry pi
          default value: arm64
  -t <TARGET_PATH>
          to set path of compilation target path
          default value is .
  -c      clean up all compilation targets before cross compile
          default not to clean up
  -h      show the help message

Example

Situation:

• Project name: my_project
• Project path: /path/to/my_project
• Raspberry pi architecture: arm64 (ARMv8), e.g. Raspberry pi 4b
• Base of Raspberry Pi OS, a.k.a. debian version: bookworm (debian 12)
• Path to get compilation result: .. (parent directory of shell)

One can cross compile a tauri app by running:

./xcompile.sh -e bookworm -n my_project -p /path/to/my_project -a arm64 -t ..

Prerequisite

• docker installed and dockerd is running

Tested environment

status	hardware	os
✅	Raspberry Pi 4 Model B	Raspberry Pi OS - Debian 11 (bullseye) aarch64
✅	Raspberry Pi Zero 2 w	Raspberry Pi OS Lite - Debian 12 (bookworm) aarch64
