(In the future please use the mailing list, rather than the issue tracker, for general questions/discussion.)

Raspberry Pi is not within the scope of this project, so if you're interesting in writing a Flutter embedder that runs on Raspberry Pi that would be something to host separately. I have no idea if the current Linux implementation would work for you, but if it does you could certainly start from a fork.

There's a few reasons why android things will not suffice:

  1. It takes over 30 seconds to boot to app
  2. Hardware acceleration does not work with flutter and you get at most 5fps.

Off the top of my head (haven't done any specific research into this), it should be possible with the Raspbian distribution given you have the required dependencies specified in the README. However those dependencies were derived on an Ubuntu workstation using an amd64 arch, so I'm not sure what versions of everything are available Raspbian given it's running ARM.

Currently there isn't a .deb available for the embedder as a library, though, so you'd still have to go through the process of building everything on the device. The biggest question-marks for me at the moment are a) how the flutter engine will compile for ARM, and b) what the dev libraries on Raspbian look like.

Interesting, so there's a chance, by running through all the steps on a raspberry pi, we could get this to work...

Right. It's worth giving it a spin, at least. Just don't get your hopes too high 😉

Again, none of this is in scope for this project. If you want to have a discussion about using Flutter on Raspberry Pi and/or Android Things, please find a relevant forum to continue the conversation.

Currently only macOS is supported, but the goal is to support other desktop embedders in the future.

Does this not fall under other desktop embedders?

Rpi is arguably the worlds best selling computer, there should be some serious incentive to get this working.

That was meant to refer to Linux and Windows. I'll update it to be explicit about that (especially since it's out of date about what's currently supported!)

Android and iOS devices are also very popular computing devices as well, but that doesn't make them desktops. This project has a specific scope; it's not meant to cover every computing platform that Flutter itself doesn't support.

I'm not trying to discourage you from getting it working if that's something you are interested in doing. I'm just saying that it's not within this project's scope (in much the same way that this is a separate project from Flutter because desktop embedding is not currently within the scope that Flutter is focused on).

Well i guess we have to wait to see what the Flutter CLI of "flutter built iot" really means ?
