It looks like gemu might work to run the utilities on a Pi. My
experience with running Windows on a PowerPC Macintosh was that
if the program wasn't too CPU intensive, the experience was only
a little lethargic. Running photoshop was like watching paint
dry. It's certainly worth a try.
Assuming gemu is not satisfactory, and given that Elecraft does
not want to open source the utilities, I can see some options:
* Leave things as they are. People who use Pi based portable
systems have to hope they don't need the utilities while away
from their Intel based computer. Or carry extra stuff.
* Add a Linux ARM utility to the mix using their current
resources. This option would probably be fairly easy, since most
Linux just programs compile for both CPU architectures. There
would still be extra testing needed.
* Look for a volunteer who will maintain the Linux ARM utilities
under NDA.
