ROS on Raspberry PI?

[Mark Jelic]

Sorry, totally newbie question...

But I remember that the ROS works on Ubuntu, right?

Well a PI can run some Linux or other (not sure if Ubuntu is one of them, tho), so was wondering if the PI is a valid ROS platform?

Just out of curiosity. :)

Yes ROS will work on a Raspberry PI using either the Raspian or possibly Ubuntu on ARM distributions, the PI is very limited due to the processing power, also not all packages are supported.
