I have just brought up my Pi 2 successfully. I have the Kernel 3.18 loaded. Everything so far works except that trying to exit the GUI by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, per the book, takes me back to the initial terminal screen but does not provide a Bash prompt. The screen echo's keyboard input but nothing ...

I am looking at using the Pi 2 for an audio application that requires I2S. I can see how to enable the firmware module load in the config file. The BCM2835 ARM Peripherals document shows me how to access the interface for the earlier board. Is the BM 2836 identical in this respect ? Thanks.
