Description
There are no prebuilt packages available for ppc64el (OpenPOWER) systems, despite the software working on those platforms (after some significant manual work to pull in dependencies using the correct architecture).
OpenPOWER systems are being deployed more widely, especially in education, and having an easy way to install a newer IDE version than the 1.5 version in Debian Experimental would be much appreciated.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the repository's packaging and build entry points for ppc64el, then verify what is required for an installable Arduino IDE package on that architecture; the issue provides no specific validation command.
