Running Kiro CLI on a Raspberry Pi 400

A developer finally found a purpose for an idle Raspberry Pi 400: running the Kiro CLI. After installing Raspberry Pi OS and basic tools like Node.js, they attempted the standard Linux ARM (aarch64) install. The CLI installed cleanly but crashed with a SIGILL error upon launch, a frustrating hurdle for the ARM64-based device.

The solution wasn't more troubleshooting, but a different download. The developer consulted the docs again and switched to the ARM64 musl build. This version installed and executed without issue. The headless login, using a browser on a separate laptop to authenticate via GitHub, completed the setup in about an hour.

With the CLI running, the author confirmed it handles both simple and complex tasks successfully. The project now aims for a 'PM workflow' where tickets are created and Kiro executes the code implementation remotely on the Pi. This demonstrates the growing versatility of development tools across diverse hardware, including low-cost single-board computers.
