Has anybody dabbled in this? I've seen from threads that there is a version of BOINC for Linux on ARM. SETI@home and Einstein@home are projects that people can run, but I can't find any information on running Rosetta@home. Obviously the 1st gen Raspberry Pi would be a waste of resources to do distributed computing on, but the Pi 2 and Pi 3 have much more powerful quad-core ARM7 chips relative to the first Pi's anemic CPU. With the minimal power draw of these single-board computers perhaps it might be worthwhile getting them to do distributed computing while they're sitting idle on the network. Has anybody on our team tried?

No, but I would really be interested to see what they can do!

Based on what I've seen from searching the Rosey client is only available in BOINC for Android. I tried it on my Android phone while plugged in and screen off but it doesn't appear to be getting any tasks after a week of running. Can anyone else confirm? I have some Pi 2s arriving soon, I'll try installing Android on those and give them a shot, maybe I'll have a better success with them.
