The firm is Eltechs, which is the company behind the ExaGear Desktop which enables x86 applications such as Skype, Teamviewer, MS Word to run on Raspberry Pi, and other ARM-based devices.

It has developed a binary translator which allows x86 applications such as windows and Skype to run on Raspberry Pi without recompilation.

Netflix isn’t really compatible with Raspberry Pi or any other ARM mini PC. This is because Netflix uses the library called WideVine.

It provides DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection for Netflix’s content and Raspbian, in turn, as well as any other ARM-based devices with Linux doesn’t have this kind of a library.

The answer, says Eltechs, is to run original x86 Chrome using the ExaGear Desktop, which allows running x86 Windows apps on Raspberry Pi.

For video streaming, the latest version of ExaGear Desktop 2.0 has a built-in hardware graphic acceleration. This deals with scaling and displaying video on a GPU level.

The firm’s website describes implementation with number of steps, including installation ExaGear Desktop on Raspberry Pi, staring x86 environment, installing and launching Chrome browser under that environment.
