Pharo on Raspberry Pi
I recently got a Raspberry Pi and was pleasantly surprised to see that smalltalk is part of the image. I quickly did a search to see if Pharo was available. While there was a flurry of messages about getting a version that would work on the. Pi. I haven't seem anything saying it had happened. Is it possible to run Pharo on my RaspPi?

Short answer: yes you can but only older versions (I think 1.4) since newer version (2.0 and up) depend on extra primitives in the VM (for FileSystem, Data/Time stuff). The VM on the RPi is quite old and there is not specific Pharo VM (yet). Sven

You didn't say which smalltalk was there, so I'll just mention that Tim Rowledge on [squeak-dev] list appears to have Squeak running on the RaspPi. cheers -ben
Actually smalltalk that comes on the Pi is just the VM, there are no images, I assume because of some kind of copyright issue. Which it seems would not be a problem with Pharo, or am I mistaken? Tony On Fri, Jun 7, 2013 at 2:08 PM, <btc@openinworld.com> wrote:
