We are focusing on delivering the official hardware, hence Raspberry Pi support is a bit lacking, we are hoping to pick it up soon. We will be very likely selling a development version of Firewalla very soon. It will be at cost with a small mark up to take care the labor involved.

To Build On Raspberry Pi

• Download Jessie Lite

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

• connect ethernet port to router.
• install firewalla from app store.
• launch firewalla
• tap on 'Firewalla' and connect

If anything bad happens, unplug it. :) The raspberry pi version uses bluetooth to link the app with the board. Final hardware will require a scan of a barcode.
