Nate, You are right, the RPi is ARM based -- I completely overlooked that most important part of the problem. I wonder if Elecraft would release the source to their Linux utilities.
Actually, a better RPi solution would be to use the RPi as a network gateway and cache server for clients running on Mac/Linux/Windows. If we could develop/design a nice networking protocol to operate between the client utilities and the gateway server then a WiFi enabled RPi would be a nice feature. The next thing would be to develop an outboard multi-port RS232 adapter. Part of a networking protocol would be addressing individual Elecraft rigs. Yes, something to think through...
