Thierry,

Pharo runs in the previous RPI, the problem actually is not more horsepower but a JIT VM.

I think Tim was working in that, but the VM is not quiet there yet.

From my experience, Pharo at this stage is only barely usable.�� But if the VM was similar in specification to that of the x86 architecture I can bet that Pharo will run perfectly well doing some tricks.

cheers

Hi all,

given this announcement, what would this mean for Pharo on the Raspberry Pi 2?

Let���s get the good stuff out of the way above the fold. Raspberry Pi 2 is now on sale for $35 (the same price as the existing Model B+), featuring:

• A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (~6x performance)
• 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM (2x memory)
• Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1

Because it has an ARMv7 processor, it can run the full range of ARM GNU/Linux distributions, including Snappy Ubuntu Core, as well as��Microsoft Windows 10.
