Raspberry Pi 2 release ?

[AussieHash]

Hello,

I was wondering if you have made plans to release a Pi 2 B build of armory.  Whilst it is probably source code compatible, binaries will likely need to be re-cross compiled as the CPU is now a quad core Arm7.

I would be happy to beta test once mine arrives.

Thanks.

FWIW, I've ordered one and hope to have it in a couple of weeks. Whether or not I work on an RPi2 port depends completely on Emperor Alan's decrees. That said, if others want to play around and see what comes up, we'd love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks Doug.   Are there cross compilation instructions for the Pi release ?

No instructions. We have this Python script that does the whole cross compilation in a couple commands:

https://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory/blob/0.93-bugfix/r-pi/crosscompile.py

It's currently hardcoded to grab the armhf Python lib packages off of Rasbpian's package repo and grab the x-compiler binaries from R-Pi's git.

If you are running Debian Jessie on the pi, you might be able to run the binaries from Debian Sid https://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/armory). Just note that the Debian binaries are meant to be updated through your package manager, so it has the built-in update functionality disabled.

I haven't actually tested this with a pi.

Great news !

Installing with my little script https://github.com/aussiehash/Bitcoin-for-SBC

Armory 0.92.3-beta appears to work perfectly on a Pi 2, latest Raspian, no cross compiling required.

Starting armory in offline mode, creating a new wallet, split backup all work correctly. Have not tried to offline sign a transaction.

Edit : updated script to 0.93 offline bundle, now working on Pi B / B+ / Pi 2 raspbian wheezy + BBB debian wheezy / BBB ubuntu 14.04 + ODROID C1 ubuntu 14.04
