Hi Sven,

I just saw this: http://labs.online.net which offers real ARM cloud servers (15 minutes for free to try out) [they're French]. This is Ubuntu 14.10 on ARMv7.
Naturally I wanted to try Pharo on such a machine.
The base question is, where do I get the latest and best VM to try this ?
Doug McPherson is building Stack VMs for ARMv6 and ARMv7 for both Cog and Spur and uploading them to my site. These VMs should run Pharo. See e.g. http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3126/
I tried that and it does not seem to work: ubuntu@c1-10-1-16-102:~$ ls Pharo.changes Pharo.image PharoV30.sources stklinuxhtARM stklinuxhtARMv7-14.45.3126.tgz ubuntu@c1-10-1-16-102:~$ ./stklinuxhtARM/bin/squeak -vm-display-null Pharo.image printVersion pthread_setschedparam failed: Operation not permitted Read e.g. http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3126/README.3126 Maybe their system is special, I don't know, it feels pretty standard, running the latest Ubuntu. I noticed the 'ht' in the VM name, is there no 'normal' one ? I will try on a Raspberry Pi as well.
Maybe a complete & easy to use source tree that can be compiled locally ?
That's the case for http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog. See http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/build.linux32ARM
And would it make sense to add some ARM option to get.pharo.org ?
Thx,
Sven
