You'll survivethis is painfull!!!
I would look into the ARM emulation options
and see how much preparation is possible . . .

Availability
Estimated availability (as of 25th October 2011) is December 2011. Initially, there will be shipping from the UK and possibly the US, but will probably expand with local distributors by the second quarter of 2012.
That is my understanding as the expected/earliest possibility.Estimated availability (as of 25th October 2011) is December 2011
I tried that. Also tried it on the eye - it was good for Halloween, but too scary for nooby. At least one real artist (as opposed to the claw fisted moi) is working on a logo/wallpaper . . .i suggest a puppy with a raspberry pi logo as the nose!
is this directed towards me? if so i haven't (honestly thought i was getting ignored on that.. figured you guys must of already had some sort of server room), but i can... i have the option to easily install (clicking with fantastico) tikiWiki CMS/Groupware & PhpWiki. but if you prefer wikka i can as well just might take me a bit to either figure it out or let the host do it for me (he's a nice dude and will probably do it for me).Lobster wrote: Have you set up server software yet?
You could use Wikka 1.3.2 and then the existing wiki page would be easy to mirror and eventually lead to independence . . .

i was looking for one of these for my pi as well actually... well the older model i think... and they say they're linux compatible (and list older releases) so.. i don't see any reason it wouldn't work (unless the pi kernel will need patch with whatever modules)stu90 wrote:Sounds pretty cool - could have it hooked up to a HDTV with a nice looking Conky Lua with weather, time, RSS and use it as a internet radio player or big picture frame etc.
Wonder if you could use one of these with it?

What I know is that the R-Pi is TV-ready (has HDMI, too).technosaurus wrote:I was a little skeptical before..
there has to be a howto for turning a usb cable and an rca dongle into a makeshift usb monitor using any tv with an rca input
You can get a similar thing here in Oz http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DGTEC-NEW-DG ... 415ed008f3stu90 wrote:Sounds pretty cool - could have it hooked up to a HDTV with a nice looking Conky Lua with weather, time, RSS and use it as a internet radio player or big picture frame etc.

according to the wiki your all good.technosaurus wrote:I never saw anything about rca out, but many older/cheaper TVs have an rca input but no hdmi ... the big issue there would be fixing the various GUIs to work at such a low resolution.
Code: Select all
BootRom
The boards do not include NAND or NOR storage - everything is on the
SD card, which has a FAT32 partition with GPU firmware and a kernel
image, and an EXT2 partition with the rootfs.
We're not currently using a bootloader - we actually boot via the GPU,
which contains a proprietary RISC core (wacky architecture ;) .
The GPU mounts the SD card, loads GPU firmware and brings up
display/video/3d, loads a kernel image, resets the SD card host
and starts the ARM.
You could replace the kernel image with a bootloader image, and that
would work fine.
