Yes, currently, the Pharo VM is running on ARM and built using CI. > 2. Should it be mentioned already on the Pharo Download page?

PharoThings has a dedicated website pharoiot.org <http://pharoiot.org/>, where there are tutorials, videos, books about it. There is a multi-platform zip file that you can download it and run in (Linux, Windows, Mac, Raspberry). All process to generate the zip files is be doing by Travis CI at github.com/pharo-iot/Ci <https://github.com/pharo-iot/Ci> see get.pharoiot.org <http://get.pharoiot.org/server> > 4.
