That board is a 32 bit power board, not really much use for ppc64 development.

And the Rasp. Pi 3 uses a small 4-core in-order ARM-A53 instead of the out-of-order bigger core ARM-A57 that's behind the ThunderX2.

Point being: if you want to really develop for big things (like ThunderX2 or Power9), you buy the big thing. I'm not entirely sure if the "small embedded" stuff, like Rasp. Pi, really help.
