Hi this is my first post on  here as well and you sound like you know what your on about.

I want to run bitcoind on a raspberry pi - I am a total newbie , I tried to compile the latest version , it took over 3 hours and ended up with nothing but error messages during the compilation and it did not work in the end.

Is there an image I can download which already has the latest bitcoind and OS already installed image say for a 64MB flash card ?

Any help would be well appreciated , I am tying to get some of these running as full nodes powered by solar panels and betteries , just an experiment for now no mining or anything like that .
