Raspberry Pi (Model B)
Hi Guys,
I've got sucked into the Raspberry Pi (Model fad... I've got a case, accessories, distros, and the anticipated unit on order (since early March -- set to arrive in a few days).
There is only a small amount of distros out there for it atm... It would be lovely to see Porteus on-board while the topic is hot and hyped up.
Please check it out and consider a Porteus flavor.

I could loan Ahau mine, if he thinks it is worth looking into.
Re: Raspberry Pi (Model B)
Ahau it is a bit of time that is out of forum.better i think is to wait that he is ready to stay with us.

Alright
If the Pi becomes of interest for development, I would like to play too

Re: Raspberry Pi (Model B)
Hi MasterSplinter,
You could try my modules here: http://code.google.com/p/porteus-arm/downloads/list, but you will need your own kernel (every arm make/model needs its own kernel) and bootloader. My advice would be to start with an existing kernel source/config for the pi, add the aufs patch, and go from there, and get an emulator (probably qemu if you can find a pi virtual machine for it) to test in the early phases.
I put a lot of effort into getting porteus on my machine (an acer iconia a500), but wasn't able to get it quite to the point of being truly useable -- proprietary graphics drivers, flash, and some other things slowed me down, and I got so deep in the weeds that I had to take a break in order to regain my bearings I'm hoping some updates to armedslack current in the near future (a new xorg server, primarily) will help work these problems out. --oh, snap! armedslack got a new xorg server on Friday! maybe I'll find some time to update after Porteus 1.2 final comes out

Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

Re: Raspberry Pi (Model B)
Be very careful about what you plug into your Pi. I fried mine either using a dodgy soniq powered usb hub and/or plugging the hdmi cable into a monitor while Pi was booting up (small arc between connectors). The next one will get much more respect.I've got sucked into the Raspberry Pi (Model fad... I've got a case, accessories, distros, and the anticipated unit on order (since early March -- set to arrive in a few days).
I had ordered from both RS and E14 on 29/02 and the second one is due next week. I'm really looking forward to it as I found armed slack topped both debian and arch installs. Xfce ran almost as good as Ahau's Xfce on my netbook running Porteus.

As in: it was plugged in the whole time, or as in: while booting you plugged in the hdmi?justwantin wrote:I fried mine [...]plugging the hdmi cable into a monitor while Pi was booting up (small arc between connectors).
It needs some kind of monitor for working anyway, so the first option should never fry it, yes?
Cheers!
