Since I recently got IrScrutinizer running on Raspberry Pi, ("RPi") running Raspian Jessie I thought I should look at having RemoteMaster running on said hardware. (IrScrutinizer 1.3 fully supports the RPi with Raspian Jessie, although it takes 30 seconds to start on a RPi 3.)

Since RM is written in Java, only the shared libraries needs investigation. Since RM searches for these in os.name . os.arch this amounts to a subdirectory Linux-arm. (Note that this is not sufficiently fine-grained for some applications: there are ARM processors of different versions, with and without hardware floating-point. For our purposes, it is good enough though. IIRC, the RPi 2 and 3 uses ARM version 7 with hardware FP.)

First step is thus to create the directory Linux-arm. Binaries for jp12serial is available here, DecodeIR 2.45 here. hidapi in two different versions can be installed using Raspian apt-get (packet names libhidapi-libusb0 and
libhidapi-hidraw0 ) For RM to find it, I made a symblic link, e.g.


Code:

cd Linux-arm
ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libhidapi-libusb.so.0.0.0 libhidapi.so


It turns out that jp12serial and DecodeIR works fine, but for some reason I was not able to get the hidapi stuff to work. It failed to find and download a Nevo C2. This is (an except of) rmaster.err:

Code:
LibraryLoader: Loaded 'DecodeIR' successfully from '/home/bengt/jp1/controlremote-code/km/Linux-arm/libDecodeIR.so'

I guess it would be possible for me (or someone else) to find and fix, but for the moment I do not feel sufficiently motivated...

Bottom line: RM works on RPi, with the exception of hdiapi. It takes 50 seconds to start though (using OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.6) (java version "1.7.0_101"). (May be faster with other Java implementations.)
