As I understand it, the fundamental problem with the Elecraft utilities
will be the CPU architecture difference.  The current utilities are
compiled for the i386 and later Intel CPUs while the RPi is an ARM CPU
with a thoroughly different instruction set.  Often times a simple
recompilation of the source code is all that is necessary, but that will
be up to Elecraft's software maintainers to do so.  

In short, the archive currently available from the Elecraft Web site in
all likelihood will not run on the Pi.
