Has anyone had any luck building the wallet on ARM eg: RPi or OPi?
 
I attempted to build using the git source, and altering the makefile.unix by removing the sse2 instructions. But it still fails, assuming because I'm missing the "scrypt-arm.S" file. Creating this file or migrating from another project is beyond my ability.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Ideas?

RPI2 wallet was released some time ago in binary form, read back a couple pages (also quoted below):

Evening all,

Fuzzbawls shared RPi binaries for BottleCaps-qt AND the bottlecapsd. 

If you appreciate it here is his BottleCaps address = Et4a2FrRzRxC4RAh88haNag3UaFFubyaPo

Thanks Fuzzbawls!

Got a successful stake on the RPi2

Here is the link to the binaries:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-oIh2h7uqLSakE4c0llTmhCYlU

Included in the file is the BottleCaps-qt AND the bottlecapsd binaries, statically compiled for use on Raspbian Wheezy or Raspbian Jessie (RPi2 intended target). They MAY work on a RPi1 or RPi3, but as I don't have such hardware myself, I cannot verify.

As noted previously, the rather large size of the CAP blockchain may result in inherent instability of the program when running on any SBC platform. Users should monitor and make frequent backups of their wallet.dat files (which is general good practice for any coin wallet on any platform).

RPi2 Binaries were compiled using OpenSSL 1.0.2d, BerkeleyDB 4.8.30, and Qt 5.4.2. UPNP disabled

Raspbian Jessie has seen some updates that aren't included in the default image that seem to have fixed the instability issues I was previously having. These aren't "extra" packages, but newer/fixed versions of the packages that are installed by default on a base system.

Users of Raspbian Jessie should ensure that their packages/system are updated if they are experiencing any stability problems with the wallet.

The same may hold true for Raspbian Wheezy, but I have yet to do extensive testing on that platform (especially since Wheezy is becoming older)

Just wanted to chime in myself and state that the files produced from my RPi2 binaries are completely portable with other binary distributions of the BottleCaps wallet. Though if you have followed previously mentioned steps to self-compile, you are probably running with bdb5.x (in which case your blockchain and wallet files are NOT compatible)
