I've a Raspberry v2 (512Mb), Raspbian (16-dec-2012), with BOINC (7.1.0, QCN release for nci client with modified priority), running Radioactive (nci) + QCN (nci) + asteroids (full CPU). Hostd ID 5987

I've successful attach Albert, but can't download WUs, and see this message:

[pre]Host Project Date Message
raspberrypi Albert@Home 31/01/2013 20.58.57 Message from server: This project doesn't support computers of type armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf[/pre]

No WUs for my Raspberry Pi

The platform we have an app for is named "arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf".

You may want to specify this as an alternative platform in your client configuration.

I will add the standard

I will add the standard 7.0.27 from the repo doesn't have this issue and works fine "out of the box" for Albert and Asteroids.

For the other projects you need to play around with the app_info (and as Bernd suggests the platform/alternate platform).

I guess people will either use the standard Debian/Raspbian wheezy BOINC from the repo (which works out of the box), or will compile their own client. When compiling your own, you can specify the platform string used by BOINC in the ./configure command line (I think it is "--with-platform=....") and if you pick the one that Bernd mentioned, you will be fine with most projects.
