Quarks on Raspberry PI #119

Closed jms90h5 closed 8 years ago

jms90h5 commented 8 years ago

I've been thinking about picking up a Raspberry Pi 3 specifically to try running Quarks on it. Has anyone tried running Quarks on one of the earlier versions? Did you have any issues?

Given the utility of Quarks for edge devices, a Raspberry Quark Pi would seem like a really logical dessert. :)

Yup! I've used Quarks on the Raspberry Pi 2B with success. The Raspberry Pi3 looks like a great piece of hardware. If you try it, let us know how it handles!

I ran the demo shown in this presentation on the older Raspberry Pi B (car OBD-II data, K-Means clustering, connection to Streams through Watson IoT Platform):

The only requirement is to have a JVM, and now Raspbian includes a Java 8 vm by default.

A Raspberry Pi Zero would be interesting to try ...

jms90h5 commented 8 years ago

Although I was originally thinking about the new 3 for a more performance demanding application, I agree about the zero for a super low cost edge or embedded device. Since William already verified that Quarks can work (I'm assuming on Raspbian) now I just need to find some place that has some in stock outside of bundles.

I've heard someone has run it successfully on a Raspberry Pi 3.
