Are there any plans to support Linux on ARM (Raspberry Pi) eventually? Would be nice with support for 32-bit ARM, since there aren't many such boinc projects left today. Thanks!

There are a lot of difficults with veriety system requirements for regular pc and pico-pc like raspberry pi.
Jobs within same project must have same system options to be set. Such as minimum left ram or space left on the system.
And we don't touch now building all applications for raspberry.

So it is not obvious how to make projects fitting for different hardware systems.
An option will be to make different projects, but dyu to a little participation of pico-pc in calculations, this is the last thing to do.
