2. Jupyter Server running on Samsung Note 9 server with Mac OS client

3. ARM distributions of conda
Existing distributions
1. Berryconda (ARMv6/ARMv7) -
https://github.com/jjhelmus/berryconda
2. Archiconda (ARM64) - https://github.com/Archiconda/build-tools

4. Running conda on
Nexus 7 Tablet

5. Conda and Jupyter server running on Nexus 7 tablet

6. Linux distribution for Samsung Phones
Hardware:
Samsung Note 9
Software:
● “Linux on Dex”
● Shipping Ubuntu 16.04
● Architecture ARM64

7. Linux on Dex for
Samsung
phones

8. Result
That is how people see me, when I’m telling them about
running Python and Linux on my phone

12. Tools used
● Conda-build
● Anaconda channels:
● https://conda-forge.org/
○ https://anaconda.org/c4aarch64 - compilers
○ https://anaconda.org/archiarm/ - packages for ARM64
○ https://anaconda.org/gaiar - keeping freshly built packages
● Scaleway ARM64 instance - ARM64-4GB

13. Challenges
1. Tooling: Compilers and system libraries
2. Build machines: No infrastructure yet for CI/CD. But getting better.
3. Not every ARM is the same: Different implementations from different
manufactures.
