I managed to somehow build v2 on an armv7l device.  
First things first, influxd seems to run, I can access the ui, writing to the database also works, but every query fails with  
`error	a panic has occurred	{"log_id": "0NEwPGD0000", "handler": "panic", "error": "runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference"}`

So not really usable at the moment. There is also an open issue [Add support for ARM architecture · Issue #2505 · influxdata/flux · GitHub](https://github.com/influxdata/flux/issues/2505) that flux does not support arm at the moment. For me, it even fails without these query, every query fails.

Just in case somebody wants to try.  
What I had to do (please note that some steps might be unnecessary in hindsight)

- Install `libprotobuf-dev libprotoc-dev bazaar protobuf pkg-config` via apt-get
- Install clang (I install clang-8, not sure if necessary)
- Install go according to docs.
- Install rust via [https://rustup.rs/](https://rustup.rs/)
- Have nodejs installed
- install yarn via `npm install -g yarn`
- I had to call `rustup target add arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf`
- `go build -o ~/go/bin/ github.com/influxdata/pkg-config`
- `export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin`
- `export PATH=$HOME/go/bin:${PATH}`

Now to the ugly bits:

- cypress did not install for me. Therefore, I removed the cypress dependencies from the package.json in ui. As far as I can tell, cypress is only needed for testing
- then you can finally run `make`, but this will fail for `influxd` and `influx`, due to some `int` vs `int64` error. I had to fix source code at two places. The error message will tell you where. make takes ages, especially bundling the ui and requires a lot of RAM (again ui only)

Is there any time frame when arm might be supported in flux and influxdb v2?  
I can also test things, since I now have a kind of build chain
