Hi,
I'm an happy Deepin user but I really like modding.
As you know, ARM Architecture is really interesting and some month ago Raspberry Foundation issue the new version Raspberry Pi2.
Here the new hardware:

Name: Raspberry Pi2
SoC: Broadcom BCM2836 quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor @900MHz (stock, overclockable to 1.1 GHz) with GPU VideoCore IV
RAM: 1GB SDRAM (PoP)
Storage: Micro SD card slot (Use Class 10 for better performance)
Video & Audio Output: HDMI and AV via 3.5mm jack.
Connectivity: build-in 10/100M Ethernet
USB: 4x USB 2.0 ports, 1x micro USB for power
Expansion: 2×20 pin header for GPIOs / Camera header / Display header
Power: 5V via micro USB port

Sources: please refer to officiale website Raspberrypi.org

Other distros, like Ubuntu Mate, created new compatible version of their OS. You can see all official and stable Distros for RaspberryPi here.

Linux Kernel is right now compatible with ARM socket:
- Example of ArmHF DEB of Linux Kernel 4.0.1


I think a new version of Deepin compatible with Raspberry Pi2 could increase popularity of this Distro all around the world!

We plan to deepin ported to ARM architecture, But Raspberry Pi2 should not run deepin.

Because of its low power?
Or maybe you want to bet on Hardkernel Odroid ARM Devices?

When?

Do Deepin needs finantial support to make this?
