Please note that Raspberry Pi 2 cannot run Debian¹.

Whether that's relevant to Hamara or not is for you to decide, I'm just 
mentioning in case some of you was ill informed about whether rPi2 had 
escaped the bad design from rPi1.

I dearly recommend to instead invest time and development and promotion 
on OSHW certified hardware line OLinuXino LIME2² and BeagleBone Black³.  
The former is more powerful whereas the latter is more famous.

Other more powerful/popular boards exist too which are supported by 
Debian, but not OSHW certified - I maintain a comparison of cheaper ones 
at https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware and you are quite 
welcome to ask for more details.

More info at https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi2


Regards,
