RouterOS v7 - Raspberry Pi 4/5/CM4/CM5 Support

RouterOS

Hi!

I should welcome such a thing like booting mikrotik routeros v7 in my raspberry pi cluster to use it on compute blade nodes for some firewall stuff.

Right now I don’t see a way of how to doing it.

Can we have some help to setup the AMPERE/ARM64 image to work or have some support from MikroTik?

Thanks,
Zoltan

I don’t speak for MT in anyway shape or form, but most likely they won’t do it, they would rather want you to run it CHR rather than supporting Pi architecture natively, the moment they grant this request a similar request will surely come for another architecture they are going to do this if it has a great commercial benefit / incentives with them, just my 0.002$

Pi boards don’t boot the same as Ampere, and atop that, Pi 3, 4, and 5 also have booting differences.

also dont expect a rpi to have flawless performance in networking tasks
