Thanks to George and Kevin I was able to build trlinux for Raspbian Jessie. Running it on my Raspberry Pi 2 and connected to my K3/10 via a usb-serial adapter I am able to control the K3 as I did from my Ubuntu x86 system. I am also able to send CW via the same adapter with the K3 setting: PTT--KEY = OFF--dtr. Works like a charm. I will be running this configuration for my QRP entry in the Stew Perry this weekend.
