Has anyone tried to run ethereum in this platform?
I tried yesterday without success, If I follow the ubuntu/ppa installation it complains about the go version (which I can't upgrade I don't know why), and If I try to use the precompiled arm version of geth for the raspberry pi, when I execute geth I get a non sense error message: "Not file found".
Any idea on how to get ethereum running in this type of processors/platform?
Thanks in advance.

"Nvidia puts the price of 192$ to the board and it offers it with a special edition of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS that they fine-tuned for the device"
BUT, for that price, you could invest in an R9-280x GPU and build a little mining rig. I'll PM you my setup if you'd like.
Otherwise, you could buy a rasperry pi and set it up as a dedicated node, a perfect little "Ethereum computer." While it won't be able to mine, you'd have a small, friendly, dedicated, and IoT platform, ready to make DAPPS on. Here's the link to get Ethereum installed on it:

Hope this helps!
Hopefully the xgo team can provide an armhf binary soon to be compatible with *most* devices.
Now if you are referring to mining power, then its a different story, but arm is then in the same boat as any other CPU mining setup, i.e.- competing with GPU's.
On top of all of this, the Light Client LES may be on its way sooner than later: https://gitter.im/ethereum/light-client
