Hello! I'm copying Lars and Eliot, who worked on this project during the summer, so maybe they can update everyone on the state of the project.
It is in progress. Lars has completed the code generator and is working on the C calling interface. There are some changes required to the inline cache machinery to accomodate the ARM's use of a link register (essentially the contents of the link register needs to be pushed on and popped from the stack at the right points so that the rest of the VM sees the same stack layout as on x86). So the system isn't ready yet, but it isn't a long way away either. Lars is actively working on it when time allows.

Cheers, Carla.

The interpreter VM works perfectly on the Raspberry, so you can at least get your Smalltalk fix while folks work on Cog.
