Hello.

Is it possible to create a GUI application for Raspberry Pi?
Or it for Server Smalltalk only?

Are other ARM-based boards supported?

Hi "vvm13ru" (hope you can present yourself at some point)

BTW, yesterday we got it working with the real hardware: https://twitter.com/MartinezPeck/status/1162360670362460162

Let me answer inline below...

Absolutely.  VASmalltalk runs on the Pi / Raspbian in the same way it runs on any Linux on x86 or x64. You can use VASmalltalk GUI frameworks and it would work in the Pi as it would do in any other Linux environment. 
I have plenty of blog posts with this on  https://dev.to/martinezpeck/
All those screenshots are taken from VA running headfull (full IDE) on the Pi.  
 

Or it for Server Smalltalk only?



Both. You can run headfull or headless. And you can use a OS with or without X. For example, headless apps work just perfect on a "Raspbian Lite" or any kind of Linux without X. 

 
Are other ARM-based boards supported?


As long as they have power enough for Linux, then VA would work. We support both, ARM 32 and 64 bits and our dependencies on Linux are very little. You can see more here: 
 
We have used ourselves in Raspberry Pi Zero, 3 and soon will be testing on 4. It works on Rock64. See this:

In addition, we tested on Parallella Board: https://twitter.com/MartinezPeck/status/1147132349450203136
 
It also worked with NVIDIA JetsonTX2 which is a monster of 256 cores GPU:

and we will testing soon on a Jetson Nano too. 

Finally, we tested a lot of different OSes... Raspbian, Ubuntu, Armbian, Tegra, etc...

If you have more questions,  let us know.

Best,
