    Collatz: Android Applications Now Available

    Solo Collatz applications are now available for Android. The Android application supports ARM, x86, and MIPS (Little Endian) processors. Assuming Murphy's Law will prevail as usual even though the apps work on my hardware, please let me know of any issues.

    Sweet! Moving my GS3 to Collatz now.

    It looks like you are trying to cover all devices…so I'll ask: Any chance for a Raspberry Pi app?

    Isn't a Raspberry Pi just another ARM *nix device? I wonder if the Android app would just work, if delivered to a Pi...

    Re: Collatz: Android Applications Now Available

    Is there a version of BOINC for Raspberry Pi? The app is actually named solo_collatz_6.00_arm-android-linux-gnu so it would stand to reason that if Pi runs an ARM Linux distro, it may work.

    [Edit: Nope. I read some more and it will not work with the android app as that is for an ARMv7 processor and the Pi is an ARMv6 processor].

    I'll give it a shot.

    Is there a sample app_info.xml for collatz somewhere?

    What platform name does the BOINC Raspberry Pi use? Maybe arm-linux-gnueabi? If so, I should be able to cross compile a v6 version.

    Re: Collatz: Android Applications Now Available

    From the data on the Raspberry Pi site, I added two different platforms: armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf and arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
    I also cross compiled the CPU app and added it. Let me know if it works. You shouldn't need an appp_info.xml at all for it. It compiled OK but I have no idea if it will run or not. If it doesn't work, I'll need to disable the app version until I get one that does.

    Looks like I have to install and build the other toolchain listed on the Rasperry Pi site which looks to be the better part of a day's work.

    Don't do that just for me!
