No. What I'm working on is 64bit/ARMv8 only. If you want something
that's similar form factor to the rpi, you might check out

It *should* run on that. I haven't tested this yet, so I can't say for
certain. I should have one of these fairly soon though, and will then be
able to give a definite answer.

Fabian is working on an ARMv7(32bit) build that will support things like
the odroid, and rpi2.
