I know I can google this, but I am really looking for a more personal answer that others might also gleam insight from. What are the efforts like for non x86 architectures, if any exist? Are there working kernels for arm as there is for *nix with things like Raspberry Pi? I haven't started my IoT journey yet. I am wondering if plan9 would be stable enough to tinker with in that space and in order to capture two birds with one trap. [edits made to cleaned up the original mess]

Certainly runs on Raspberry Pi - there are several mentions to that effect. Sadly I can't help you more - best ask on mailing lists[0] or on IRC[1]. Historically Plan 9 was developed from grounds up to support several architectures, so in this case you're really asking about drivers for specific peripherals. -- [0] http://mail.9fans.net/listinfo/9fans http://mail.9fans.net/listinfo/9fans and http://lists.9front.org/ http://lists.9front.org/ [1] #plan9 and #9front and #cat-v on irc.freenode.org

9front runs wonderfully well on the Pi and other SBCs. #cat-v on OFTC is very helpful if you want to try it out.
