The Raspberry Pi foundation in their quest to further release incremental improvements to their hardware have released yet another incremental upgrade the the B line of devices, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. This swaps the single core 700MHz chip for a quad core 900MHz chip, and doubles the memory to 1GB. CPU-wise this is a 6x speed improvement, however you're still incredibly bottlenecked running the OS through a (max) 20MB/s SD card and there's still no integrated wifi!
Will HeaterMeter run on this hardware? Mmmmaybe! It definitely will not run on the existing firmware because the kernel won't "just work". It's definitely going to be not fun getting support for it into OpenWrt though and makes me again consider the alternatives.
I just thought I'd answer the question before anybody asks. No, the software does not work and no the hardware doesn't fit together. The software may work at a later date and the v5.0 will mate with it.
