Hi Brian,
Plan 9 works really well on a Raspberry Pi B for me. Haven't tried it on a
RasPi 2 yet though.
I would be rather cautious about so called compatible products. I have yet
to meet a product that is truly compatible and the quirks tend to take up a
disproportionate amount of time to

That seems to be an old version of /sys/src/9/bcm (perhaps with
modifications)
so Richard Miller's version in contrib will be more up-to-date, I think.

I like ODROID hardware, but obviously there isn't a Plan 9 port for it.
Arduino Yún (MIPS+AVR) could make a cool device for Plan 9, but the MIPS
