Running git on ARM systems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,

You may have heard of the Raspberry Pi [1], a fully programmable
computer the size of a credit card for $25-$35. It will run a linux
(debian/fedora/arch) distribution on a 700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S core
(ARM11 family) [2].

My one of these is on order, and the first thing I intend to do is
install and test git. Has anyone had any experience running git on
ARM, or know if there are any potential issues? I will also try
compiling on the device itself, and was wondering if there is anything
I will need to do especially for that architecture. I have done a
preliminary google search and nothing striking came up, so any help
would be appreciated!

This device was designed to try and get kids into programming, and if
we are going to teach them how to hack we should give them the best
tools available. Hopefully git works out of the box, but if not it
would be great to get it up and running before the education launch
(probably later this year).

Regards,

Andrew Ardill
