We have just added application/platform for Raspberry Pi running Raspbian and possibly any of the other OSes available for it (not verified yet). In theory the app should run on anything that reports armv6l-linux-gnueabihf or arm-linux-gnueabihf platform (if it does not, or if you have armv6l device which reports another platform-string, please let me know).
Unfortunately I have no idea how to set the udev on Raspbian to allow access to the sensor for users other than root, the standard trick described here http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=46 doesn't work, perhaps someone else will find a solution.
I did all the tests as root and the app seems to work just fine.
EDIT: To allow access to the sensor as non-root (this also applies to default "pi" user on raspbian) the .rules file has to contain this:
#r@h
ATTR{idVendor}=="16c0", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev"
LABEL="radioactive_rules_end"
it looks like the syntax has been changed.
EDIT:
The Vendor ID above is only for sensors up to v3.0.
3.01 uses new vendor id which is "04d8".

I've just try to attach the project from a Raspberry running the image build for QCN project ( http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/forum_thread.php?id=880 ) and got this error message:
Message from server: This project doesn't support computers of type armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

Try running one of these apps as standalone, to see if they work.

It works. My RaspberryPi finished his first WU.

I tried it with your "standart trick" but dont work.
I changed in the file 53-rdioactive.rules:
#r@h
ATTRS{idVendor}=="16c0", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev"
LABEL="radioactive_rules_end"
the sensor was found and work fine.

Sorry, may be I missed a step, because perform an update no WU is downloaded and continue to see this message:

I've copied the exe in the correct directory and performed the steps about the 53-rdioactive.rules file. So I see this files:

Must I create also a app_info.xml file ?

Detach from the project, reattach and check again. I've just added support for Debian running on Pi.
I don't know why the platform string differs, however the executable is the same as Raspbian one and it seems to be working.

Please try again, perhaps I forgot to restart feeder/scheduler after making changes.
If it still won't work, I'll test it on Pi myself tomorrow.

Ok, thanks, now BOINC download and run the client but got another error:

Could you check what is inside radioactiveathome folder in the BOINC data dir, and what's inside the slot ? It looks like the app is unable to find sensors.xml, which is required.
EDIT: nvm, I've just noticed I made a mistake in the file name, fixing it right now.

Do you see any progress ? The app might be running, but if there's anything wrong with the udev permissions, it won't see the sensor.

Yes, the WU is at 16% now, I've set preference to about 9h/WU, and after the start the beeper go correctly to quite mode.
A diff with PC: the backlight seems a bit less brigth.

After few days Raspberry seems work fine (also with QCN client/sensor running).
This is my host:
http://radioactiveathome.org/scripts/graph/scrollgraph.php?days=0&hostid=5494
Just a question: I must migrate to user root the whole BOINC directory to use a feature of QCN modded BOINC client (7.1.0) that rise the priority of QCN client.
Do you think that may impact with problems the Radioactive client ?

Nope, the QCN modded client runs nci tasks at higher priority which is also good for our app.

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but I recently got a Raspberry Pi B+ running Raspbian.
It runs Einstein tasks fine but when I connect to Radioactive@home the sensor if never detected (buzzer and backlight stays on). I'm not sure which version the sensor is, but its case is a plastic pipe if that helps?
In the stderr.txt I'm getting the following over and over:
"Warning: cannot query manufacturer for deive: error sending control message: operation not permitted"
"Debug (openDevice): 16c0:05df obdev.at/datastore not found or could not be accessed: Device communication error"
"Debug (openDevice): 16c0:05df obdev.at/radioactiveathome.org GRS not found or could not be accessed: Device communication error"
(Please note those are not copied and pasted so there might be some small errors)
Any ideas what the problem is?
Cheers :D

That sounds very similar to the problem I had. I think your sensor is an earlier version, but you may need to do the same thing...
Under Linux, there are a couple of other things you may need to add, since the client runs under its own userid of "boinc" and won't be allowed access to the usb port unless you tell Linux to allow it (it'll just sit there not talking to the sensor until the WU timer expires).
See my post on another thread at
http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=473&nowrap=true#3082
... then hopefully you'll get a bit further. I don't know why the buzzer stays on though.
