Hi, I built boinc for Linux (Debian) on the new Raspberry Pi device, which is a very cheap (US $35) low-power computer with an ARM processor, that runs Linux. We are looking to use these on the Quake-Catcher Network as cheap "self contained" earthquake sensors.
I don't know if it's worth maybe adding a boinc platform for this (I can just edit the boinc client & server for our purposes)? armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf uname -a Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9+ #168 PREEMPT Sat Jul 14 18:56:31 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux If anyone is interested the Raspberry Pi boinc is at: http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/download/boinc-arm.zip I only built it for "command line" i.e. no GUI/wxwidgets/BOINC Manager. Here's the output of the R Pi, it's only .2 GFLOPS, hopefully enough power to monitor our USB sensors! 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] No config file found - using defaults 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Starting BOINC client version 7.1.0 for armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] This a development version of BOINC and may not function properly 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Libraries: libcurl/7.25.0 zlib/1.2.7 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Data directory: /home/qcn/boinc 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Processor: 1 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Processor features: 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] OS: Linux: 3.1.9+ 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Memory: 183.67 MB physical, 100.00 MB virtual 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Disk: 7.23 GB total, 4.56 GB free 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Local time is UTC +0 hours 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] No usable GPUs found 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/] URL http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/; Computer ID not assigned yet; resource share 100 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] No general preferences found - using defaults 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Preferences: 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] max memory usage when active: 91.84MB 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] max memory usage when idle: 165.30MB 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] max disk usage: 3.61GB 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] don't use GPU while active 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] suspend work if non-BOINC CPU load exceeds 25 % 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] (to change preferences, visit the web site of an attached project, or select Preferences in the Manager) 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Not using a proxy Initialization completed 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Running CPU benchmarks 08-Aug-2012 13:44:06 [---] Suspending computation - CPU benchmarks in progress 08-Aug-2012 13:44:38 [---] Benchmark results: 08-Aug-2012 13:44:38 [---] Number of CPUs: 1 08-Aug-2012 13:44:38 [---] 223 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 08-Aug-2012 13:44:38 [---] 930 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU 08-Aug-2012 13:44:44 [http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/] Master file download succeeded 08-Aug-2012 13:44:49 [http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/] Sending scheduler request: Project initialization. 08-Aug-2012 13:44:49 [http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/] Requesting new tasks for CPU 08-Aug-2012 13:44:51 [Quake-Catcher Network] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 08-Aug-2012 13:44:51 [Quake-Catcher Network] This project doesn't support computers of type armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
