Boinc headless (CLI only): attached to the project but no tasks, how to start them?

Hi,
I've got an ARM based server running Linux (Debian), CLI only. Need to attach it to WCG.
I followed the guide https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=boinc#664 and installed it:
# sudo apt-get install boinc-client
(I didn't install boinc-manager, want to do the installation lightweight).
I attached it to the project:
sudo -u boinc boinccmd --project_attach http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org <Used My Account Key>

Here are the outputs from the boinc client:

# boinccmd --get_state

Hi Rob,
I've been there but unfortunately couldn't find the solution.
I tried
# boinccmd --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org update
also tried
# boinccmd --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org resume

but nothing happened,

# boinccmd --get_tasks

======== Tasks ========
#
still empty. What I missed?

Hmm, I don't think WCG has tasks for Linux and ARM CPU's, only Android and ARM.

(https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq)

I think that is why you are not getting any tasks.

Thank you Falconet! It's a pity that ARM CPUs are not supported( I thought that it should work as far as Linux is a supported OS and there is Boinc compiled for ARM...

BOINC doesn't do the science... The science app does. BOINC is just the "manager" of tasks
