What is meant by the compute module not being SODIMM compatible?

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... modelbplus

Note the device is NOT SODIMM compatible, it just repurposes the connector.

The flash memory is currently at 4GB. Is it possible to increase it to 8GB? If yes, how? If no, why not? https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/models/README.md#modelbplus The compute module is intended for industrial applications, it is a cut down device which simply include...

Given that there are plenty of processors out there, why was Broadcom BCM2836 chosen as the CPU for RPi? What were the advantages of BCM2836 versus the other CPUs out there? For example, why not choose Intel CPUs which are quite a safe choice given the Intel brand? (I'm not related to Intel)

Are there commercial products today selling in the market that are based on the Raspberry Pi today? If yes, are they a commercial success? What are the difficulties when commercializing products using RPi?

There's some stuff for hacking a regular 9V ionising smoke detector (like the ones mounted in my house) out on the internet. Cigarette smoke is no different to the smoke from burning the toast or setting fire to waste paper bin (which was the cause of the last time we had our alarms going off - due...

Anyone knows of off-the-shelf cigarette smoke sensors suitable for Raspberry Pi?

I am closer to understanding the problem. I was able to get pip to work by connecting to my smartphone tethering as an Access Point. So, the problem lies with some settings with my Home router. What is puzzling is that my PC which is connected to my Home router is able to use pip but not the Rpi. Wh...

The latest model of Raspberry Pi has really impressive hardware specs at $35 only. Is it good enough as a commercial IoT gateway compared to solutions backed by big players like Intel? http://www.windriver.com/announces/intel-gateway-solutions-for-iot/ Why should companies pay so much licensing fees...

Yes , bit don't forget that Raspbian is not just based on Debian , but a complete recompile of 35000+ packages. You most surely don't want to do that again when your board actually *is* supported by Debian already. ghans Oh dear, this is not good news. Why does Raspbian need to completely recompile...

helpme

Is Raspbian essentially a Debian distribution with customized kernel for the RPi board? Is my understanding correct? If yes, does this mean it is possible to take any embedded board powerful enough to Linux and build customized *bian on it? Would the Yocto project be a good choice for this?

I think the USB/Ethernet chip only provides one port. However, since the existing Ethernet is provided to the SoC via USB, albeit inside the chip, there will be no disadvantage in using a USB Ethernet adapter. If other devices are connected to the USB hub and drawing current, will there be any risk...

helpme

What is the limitation of the ethernet being connected to USB hub? Why can't it be directly connected to CPU?

helpme

So far, all the models have only 1 ethernet port. Is there any reason why there cannot be more than 1?

Given the impressive new specs of Rpi (1GB RAM, Quad-core CPU), what are good reasons to buy Intel Galileo? http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/ I saw a few colleagues playing around with the Intel Galileo and was wondering what are the good reasons to use the Intel Galileo.

It's a no-brainer. You can use Raspbian, the most popular, best supported clone of Debian which has hard float support and is optimised for the Raspberry Pi or you can use a little used, soft float version of Debian. There's no sensible reasons not to use Raspbian. Thanks! So, the main difference l...

Based on the hardware specs, I have always regard Intel Galileo/Edison platform as a competitor to Raspberry Pi rather than Arduino. Yet, Intel came out with software to support Arduino on their Galileo/Edison platform. Isn't that overkill? Anyone knows the rationale? I can hardly think of a good bu...

Are the packages available using "apt-get" the same or is one better than the other? This is the most important aspect to me. How about performance?

The older 8-bit Arduinos use 5V supply voltage. However, 32-bit Arduino Due uses 3V3 operating supply voltage. This is the same as Raspberry Pi. Does this mean that I can directly connect Arduino Due's UART to Raspberry Pi's UART without risk of damage?

Thank you.

One thing I observe about python byte-code compiling is that the main script does not get compiled into .pyc. Only imported modules are compiled into .pyc.

May I know how can I compile the main script into .pyc? It is to inconvenience potential copy-cats.
