As I understand it, the fundamental problem with the Elecraft utilities will be the CPU architecture difference. The current utilities are compiled for the i386 and later Intel CPUs while the RPi is an ARM CPU with a thoroughly different instruction set. Often times a simple recompilation of the source code is all that is necessary, but that will be up to Elecraft's software maintainers to do so. In short, the archive currently available from the Elecraft Web site in all likelihood will not run on the Pi. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
