Traditionally dronekit-sitl has only supported x86 - which a Pi is not. I'm currently poking dronekit-sitl to work against our firmware servers, where we are not also compiling arm binaries. This is a work in progress. If you're willing to play around a bit you may be able to download arm-stil binaries from (e.g.) here: http://firmware.ardupilot.org/Copter/latest/SITL_arm_linux_gnueabihf/ and set the SITL_BINARY environment variable to point to that binary. You'd probably be the first to do so :-) Peter
