Hello,

Yesterday I compiled trlinux on a Raspberry Pi.  It is something I
waned to try for sometime.  It seems to work. Running the 'DEBUG'
command where tr runs the simulator in test mode the program seems to
be able to handle very high rates on this hardware.  This Pi is either
an A or the first B version I do not recall which. I am thinking it is
an A board.  In any event it does work.  Hooked up to my TV via the
HDMI I am getting all of the trlinux beeps and CW side tone out of the
TV speakers. In the simulator the CW side tone seems to have some
issues now and then when the OS is off doing something else.

I have not hooked it up to a radio or a winkey or yccc so2r box to see
if it is really usable but based on what I see so far I think it
would be very usable for contest logging.  Seems to be faster than the
old 486 DOS box I was using until a few years ago. 

Here is a screenshot.

Big thank you to W9CF for helping with some issues with the code that
was causing the compile to fail.
