Hi to all: Let me start with the almost abused "I'm new to Linux", specially Linux for ARM architectures. I have a Linux SDK for a biometric (USB) devie. The manufacturer says this SDK is targetted to x86 platforms. Is there a way to make it run under some Linux ARM distribution?. I think this can be split in two problems. The driver problem, and the "procesing libraries" problem (these that take the already scaned template, and determines if it matches with some other templated passed as refrence). It would be very useful if at least I can make the procesing libraries to work . Of course my intention is to make all this development on Mini boards (I dont know yet if 2440 or 6410) Thanks to all for reading.

You will need the source code of both the libraries used by the applications/drivers as well as the source code of the application/drivers itself. Then you can re-compile the source using arm-linux cross compiler which will make them compatible with the architecture you're using.
Thanks AndreT: I was afraid that the solution involved the source code, as it is not provided by the manufacturer. It's very sad.
