Thanks for clearing that up Hauke - makes perfect sense!

Hi Zac,
I think you got something wrong: the Arduino-due is indeed based on
the Atmel SAM3X8E which is based on an ARM Cortex-M3 with *~96kB* RAM
and *~512kB* Flash. The RPi on the other hand has nothing at all to
do with the Atmel SAM3X8E. Instead it is base on some Broadcom Arm-A11
SoC with (depending on the version) *~512MB* of RAM and some
*Gigabyte* of memory... So they have nothing in common.
The nature of RIOT is, that it is focusing on very constrained
micro-controller platforms, where the Arduino-due is already on the
upper scale... So basically: "If your device runs Linux (like the
RPi), then run Linux!". For everything that can't, run RIOT :-)
Cheers,
Hauke

I was surprised to see Arduino Due (an SAM3X8E-based chip) on your
list of supported platforms, but not Raspberry Pi (any
model/version), which is also based on SAM3X8E. On the "Future
Hardware Platforms" wiki page
(https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/Future-Hardware-Platforms) I
see RPi mentioned with a bulleted list of items/todos/notes.
While I like the Due, the sheer power and RAM capacity of the RPi is
enticing to me. I would have thought that making RIOT-OS compatible
for Arduino Due would have crossed RPi off the list as well since
they are both SAM3X8E-based.
What would I need to do to get RPi supported? What if I am interested
in supporting other SAM3X8E boards as well?
