However, to be able to run this on a ARM based device, you will need to build it with ```GOOS=linux``` and ```GOARCH=arm``` environment variables set.
But, since I am feeling so generous, a prebuilt/tested version is available for direct download and deployment [here](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6727135/Binaries/embd/linux-arm/embd).
