Raspberry Pi Question

Re: Raspberry Pi Question

The Linux WCG programs are written to run on Intel hardware and not ARM chips.

Re: Raspberry Pi Question

I recommend the odroids u3 from hardkernel. The community edition costs 59$ plus shipment. You get a quadcore arm with 1,7 GHz. Install android and nativeboinc. I'm running two of them for WCG FightAids and another quadcore android device too.

Re: Raspberry Pi Question

I'm just in the process of getting a new phone for mom...she uses Sony X8 with Android, so that one will be upgraded to a CyanogenMod Android hooked with a stereo for playing music (no, don0t want to play with it while somebody else uses it!)...
probably the newer one will be Samsung Android (she likes those) that supports WCG & BOINC on factory setting...

of course, I'm using an iPhone & BB...don't plan to switch to Android - even 'cause of the WCG!
but lately did write the letter of suggestion to Apple to join with their official version of BOINC...something like HTC & Samsung did! So if u would like, let's make Apple customer service overrun with mail of sugestion of BOINC on iOS...if they have it on MacOS, why not on iOS?

Re: Raspberry Pi Question

I doubt Apple would provide the rights needed within iOS to let BOINC run properly.
