I have a bunch of Raspberry Pies doing work for various projects. I'd like to run LHC@home applications on them too, but when I try to attach they complain that LHC@home doesn't support ARM architectures.

Any chance there'll be ARM support in the near future for LHC applications?

Yes, we are going to devote some effort to ARM porting. Some work has been started already by CMS people and for Sixtrack (which is easier!) we will hopefully have something to report soon.

The test sixtrack version support aarch64, so it should work on raspberry pi 3.

I just noticed the beta app for Linux on aarch64 but I can't get it.
I see in applications page it is tagged with sse2 plan class but this is not an arm cpu feature. The same applies to Android on aarch64 application:
