Hello,
maybe there is a small misunderstanding. As I wrote before we are not
using ndnSIM on PIs, however, we developed a kind of a framework that
let you easily deploy an NDN network on a set of PIs. We did not change
a lot in the source code of the NFD (besides disabling signatures as the
PIs have to less computing resources), but we modified the available
Bananian Image (https://www.bananian.org/download) to support everything
one need to perform significant emulations. You can deploy an arbitrary
network topology on a set of PIs, just as you can do with ndnSIM and run
your custom applications on them. This will allow researchers to
validate whether their achieved results with ndnSIM are also valid for
the real world, on a real network using physical links!
We are aware that the NDN community already maintains a testbed
(http://named-data.net/ndn-testbed/). But within this testbed you can
not just modify core parts of the NFD without interfering with others.
We think it is essential that each research group has its own testbed.
This allows researches to play with the core parts of the NFD without
interfering with others, just as with the simulator, but on real
hardware. The costs to setup your own testbed are quite low. For each PI
we roughly paid 150€ including everything (cables, casing, SD/SSD, power
supply, etc.). For the whole testbed consisting out of 20 Pis, a gateway
and two 24-port switches we paid less than 3000€. The nice thing is that
the costs scale linearly with the number of PIs. So if you want to have
a 50 node network you can estimate that you will need a budget of about
150*50=7500€.
Best Regards
Daniel

This image will include everything one need to deploy a own testbed (in no time). However, the release is scheduled for January 2016, but maybe we finish earlier. If you are interested I can post on the mailing list once we release the image.
