What are the system requirements for running TRACE32 on a Linux PC?

The TRACE32 PowerView GUI for Linux is currently available for x86_64 and AArch64 machines.
The PowerView software is build independent from certain Linux distributions. Thus, PowerView should run on all major Linux distribution.
Nevertheless, there are some requirements:

Linux on x86_64 :

Requirements for PowerView R.2021.02 and newer

  • GNU C-Library (glibc) ≥ 2.17

  • X.Org-Server (X11) ≥ 7.6

  • Qt5 ≥ 5.6  (for a PowerView GUI based on Qt)

  • Motif or OpenMotif ≥ 2.3.1 (for a PowerView GUI based on Motif/CDE)

The following distributions meet these requirements (though there are others too):

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE)  12

  • Ubuntu 18.04

  • Debian 9

  • Mint 18.3

  • Fedora 24

  • openSUSE 15

To achieve the best results with Motif/CDE, ensure that you have installed all available X font packages, especially the 75 dpi and 100 dpi versions.

Beta versions of PowerView for Wayland and Qt6 are available on request.

  • Motif or OpenMotif ≥ 2.3.1 (for PowerView with Motif/CDE)

Qt5 is not supported by PowerView  R.2020.09 and older.

These requirements are met, for example, by RHEL 6, SLE 11, and Ubuntu 10.10.

  • GNU C-Library (glibc) ≥ 2.12

  • X.Org-Server (X11) ≥ 6.9
