Re: Raspberry Pi on Amazon for the impatient

$50 is hardly a profit as mine cost $56 from RS.

Re: [Feature Request] WiFi Board?

IMO everything should be external on USB. (The current Ethernet is on internal usb)
USB3 preferably.

Re: freedombox.img

AFAIK freedombox has no usable features yet, it's just a basic debian... so why not use the official image and configure it to do whatever you want (proxy, tor, adbloock, ptp, etc)?

Re: MythTV Backend and XBMC installed locally

MythTV would need something custom to encode, and some input hardware, and if you got it working it would not work at the same time as XBMC which uses all the RPi GPU/CPU.

Re: Connect to GPS device

normally GPSs can send lat/log to linux via usb etc. using the screen would likely be a lot of custom code on your part.

Re: Pre-programmed SD card image

It's likely a modified Raspbian, but why do you care?
If you have a copy of it you can poke around a bit, diff come settings:

Code: Select all

uname -a
cat /etc/issue
zcat /proc/config.gz
I think it boots to the GUI unlike the official build.

You need to compile from source because there is no armv6l binary (only an armv4l).

Re: SIP audio failures (Griffin iMic)

Some driver hacks are listed here:

Might want to post dmesg in case someone sees something you missed.
Changing the logging levels might give some hints.

Re: Raspbmc USB stick

a) use a usb hard drive not a slow flash based usb stick b) common ways to copy files over the network include scp, ftp, smb, and nfs. scp is the only option enabled by default so here is an example: scp -r ~/Downloads/Video/* pi@192.168.0.100:/media/USB/Video/ If you install sshfs on your mac or en...

Re: Tx-stall under heavy load

You might try changing vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 in /etc/sysctl.conf (requires reboot)
Or running your torrent client with nice.
Try monitoring top to see if you are out of CPU.
