title: Installing amd_64 or i386 packages on raspbian (arm hf)
body: <p>I am trying to install a driver for an RFID reader on my Raspberry Pi, so that my PC/SC daemon can recognize the reader when I plug it in. Unfortunately, the drivers packaged by the company are only for i386 or amd64 architectures. I am on a Pi, with Raspian installed, so I believe my architecture (armhf) is unable to install those binaries.</p>
  <p>I have heard that there are some cross-architecture solutions, but I don't want to break my Pi. Can I simply use dpkg --add-architecture to add amd64 to my supported architectures, and everything will be kosher? Or is this a very bad idea? If so, what is your recommended solution other than &quot;harass the company that made your drivers!&quot;</p>
