Re: how do I set up the wifi

Here is a simpler version that works for most people.
this is for WPA2

Code: Select all

cd /etc/network

Code: Select all

sudo nano interfaces

Code: Select all

Re: Wifi setup; no connection

You have three hubs. Your model B has a USB hub, the LAN9512chip provides 2 USB and the Ethernet; Device 002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Then the other two are because you probably have a 7 port hub; Device 005 Genesis Logic, Device 006 Genysis Logic, 4 port or less report only a single hub!

Re: Turn USB ports around to face over board

Cut the usb port off, solder on flying wires, de-case a usb stick, solder to teh wires, wrap it in kapton tape and then stick it down on the Pi board. It will fit within the footprint of the board and within the height of the USB socket. I haven't done it to a Pi, but it's the way I added a 'disk' ...

Re: Turn USB ports around to face over board

I removed the USB connector and soldered in 1/10th inch pin headers. I then made USB dongles that plugged into them. Height could be a problem here for you. I also have soldered dongles directly to the board. The direct solder method is not very robust. USB wires are just too small. I had problems w...

Probably your best solution then is to start over. If all you have on there is RaspBMC then it should not take too long to rebuild. I only screwed up my sudoers file not the whole /etc directory.

Re: Permission issue

at the command line enter

passwd
then enter

Code: Select all

su -
Then you should be able to edit /etc permissions

I should have written this down when it happened to me, but I did not. Now I am trying to remember just what I did do. :(

Re: Permission issue

You should still be able to set a root password

Code: Select all

passwd
It will ask you for a UNIX password. Then enter a password.
Enter it again.
Now you should be able to fix the error.

I had the same issue and was able to fix it this way.

Re: Pi being powered through usb not micro usb

Back-powering works just fine. It does bypass the fuse but so does powering through GPIO.

What is not recommended is using a hub that is back-powering while using a PSU to power the RasPi at the same time. One or the other not both!

Re: How could the RPi power circuitry be improved?

The USB standard itself is only 500ma per port. A B model RasPi can use 700ma by it self and F3 is rated at 750ma. F3 can usually handle more than the 750ma. But it will start reducing the voltage that goes through it. As to how the circuitry could be changed to make this work! As a retail product t...

Re: Next "Raspberry Pi"

The U.S. Army Land Warrior project used this same class of processor.

They were using WIN2000 as the operating system. Probably compiled for ARM. That system has seen combat use now. I wonder what OS it is using now.

I bet the Carrier One board is a whole lot smaller than what is in Land Warrior!
