In R 3.3.2 detectCores() in package parallel reports 2 rather than 1 on

The model is superseded and I think no longer produced.)  The problem
seems to be caused by

 grep processor /proc/cpuinfo
processor    : 0
model name    : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)

(On Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 there is no error because the model name lines are

 model name    : ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l)
 model name    : ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
)

I posted a related bug report to R bugzilla, <https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17213>. The patch included in that report is mainly about detecting physical CPUs across multiple CPU sockets, but should also fix this issue.
