Abstract
Systems and methods for cross-building a non-native application on a computing device under a different architecture. In one example, the computing device may be a x86 host computing device, and the non-native application may be a non-x86 application intended to be executable on a non-x86 embedded system. To cross-build the application on the x86 host, the x86 host may provide a protected environment, such as a Linux container (LXC). The application and corresponding library files for the non-x86 embedded system are provided in the LXC. When the application is to be executed, the system determines that the application is non-x86, and loads a corresponding translator module to translate the non-x86 code of the application and the corresponding library files in the LXC to x86 code. Thus, the application may be executable in the LXC on the x86 host to access and utilize resources of the x86 host.
