Raspberry Pi2 as a build target?

I recently received a Raspberry Pi2 as a gift,. it is a very interesting tinny bit of hardware.

- 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (over-clockable apparently)
w/ a 3D core using OpenGL ES2.0

I am not much of a Linux guy, so I am just now learning how to work the OS, but it is rather fun so far.

SunVox runs very well on it, and the files made on any system just work on all the others,. so I can compose on the low-end RPi and have tracks that do not over consume CPU on my PC. Same could be true for my games. I would like to do some simple efficient designs but I tend to overwork stuff on my PC.

Just wondering if it is possible to add rPi2 as a build target?

That would be cool! Have been interested in getting one of these for a while now. :)

I don't know Linux, otherwise I think I would have tried out a raspberry Pi by now.

Microsoft is working on windows 10 for raspberry:

I think there are several easy to use Linux distributions for the Pi. At least as easy to use as Windows. Try one, you might like it! ;)
