We do have some experience how to boot LEAF on a Raspberry Pi, see: https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/blog/2013/03/leaf-for-raspberry-pi/ and http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/leaf/index.php?title=Bering-uClibc_5.x_-_Developer_Guide_-_Appendices_-_Hardware-Specific_Guides#Considerations_about_initrd The code has also been committed to git. With only 1 NIC it does not fit really well for router. But at least LEAF can boot on a Raspberry Pi - a playground for probably new ideas. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
