Dave Cameron, the main honcho of IRLP is working on an IRLP implementation
using the Raspberry Pi instead of a traditional PC box. He has the IRLP
hardware board interfaced to the Pi GPIO connector, and is making great
progress. Talk about a lower-cost, lower-powered IRLP node if he gets it
all working. I'm still a little concerned about the Pi's power issues, but
that may be resolved with the newer Linux distros. I'd be glad to see this,
as I have a spare Pi and would not mind replacing my wasteful IRLP computer
with the tiny Pi.
He is also working at moving regular IRLP nodes from Centos to Debian.
