Eben Upton to me
Hi Ed
We're doing our best to find you an alpha board right now. Hang in there :)

Eben

Oh yes, 50 exist now and the order has been placed for the first batch of $25alphas.
If Eben sends you a specimen, I trust you'll have it winging its way to Perenjori PDQ!

Hi Sage...watching with interest

I've seen several comments on the announcement thread....

http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/28

....asking whether it's going to use POE or have usb power...seems 6-20v has been mooted

IF usb power ISN'T available, here's a neat, cheap, step up/down boost/buck power supply [3.5-35v in, 4-35v out at up to 3amp with heatsink]
Should be fine for using with car/battery/powerbrick conversion to power it, no matter what!

Don't know how long this image will stay up/why it won't display in the forum?.... [thanks ebay]

The $35 version, with RJ45, seems to have a separate 5V power input socket. This is quite a popular strategy for nominally self-powered (USB & co.) devices like KVM, data boxes, speakers, etc which operate OK for modest systems but need a few more mA when deployed flat out. Any road up, it's not an issue, as you say - just another (power) brick-in-the-wall !

Good news!

I'm trying to buy two of these sweet little things, which run on top of an Intel implementation of ARMv5.

Once I receive those (assuming I do, who knows), I'll probably revive Calf GNU/Linux, my very own distro.

I already rewrote a big part of its init scripts, which should make things easier. Then, I'll need some cross-compiler for ARM to get myself static packages of Busybox, etc'.

Also, I want to run Trinity on ARM, sounds fun

Neat

This may be useful....?

RasberryPi could be part of the solution,

developers will have a genuine interest in OpenSource

open source body parts-

Genetic experts are opening up the human genome for submissions. It is hoped that the next generation of bedroom hackers will able to fully integrate with ARM technology.

Locally here in Sweden them sell Archos 101 which is a Tablet.
I trust them have ARM on them. Would that allow me to run
Debian on it? Maybe one have to "jailbreak" it first?

But I don't trust that I am patient enough to learn all the details
to do such things but them are very affordable compared to Samsung
and other brands.

Yes, Arm8 running Android 2.2, unless they're dumping earlier versions on the Swedes....

By pressing I agree, I hereby acknowledge that:

1. Installing the Special Developer Edition firmware is considered by ARCHOS as a voiding of the warranty and ARCHOS declines all liability or responsibility for any issues resulting from installing this Special Developer Edition firmware.

Yes indeed. Them don't like that one play outside their box.
But cool that it is possible.

They have started manufacturing which means they will be out soon hopefully

On the -however Dutch- tweakers.net they announce the Raspberry with XMBC.

Though the video is in English.

Looks like tomorrow, 0600 GMT ... I think that's 1:00 PM EST for me ... alarm is set!

nooby · #49 Post by **nooby** » Wed 29 Feb 2012, 05:56

Haha I came too late. I should have set the alarm to 30 or 45
minutes before now it is already Server break down. Can't reach server
times out.

Ooops finally I am in but seems to be a redirected or something.
They affirm that they got totally swamped and wants us to look at
Twitter instead? http://twitter.com/raspberry_pi

But there is only noise from 24.000 followers. Not anything from RPi?

On the redirected or special made alternative site message it says

"We've temporarily changed to a static site,
while we're experiencing a very high level of traffic
for the launch of the Raspberry Pi.
The full site will return once traffic levels have subsided,
hopefully later on today.

For up-to-the-minute news on what's happening, follow
@Raspberry_Pi on Twitter1. 1(Only until about 6pm GMT, though,
because we’re all going to the pub after that!)"

That where a too English text for me to get. Sorry

So if I get it at all. They have 10.000 to sell soon?
But they have 24.000 followers on Twitter. So suppose 50% of them
buy one then there is none for me to buy

They will make use of these partners.

"Although we are still waiting for units to arrive from China, you can start buying the Raspberry Pi today. We have entered into licensed manufacture partnerships with two British companies,

Premier Farnell and RS Components.

They’ll be manufacturing and distributing the devices on behalf of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and handling the distribution of our first batches as they arrive in the country."
