BCM2836 Datasheet?

Tue Jan 12, 2016 6:24 pm

Hi everyone,

I want you to ask questions about the hardware.

I ordered raspberry pi 2. Rpi2 use BCM2836 for processor. However, I didn't find BCM2836 datasheet. Also, I didn't find Raspberry pi 2 schematics. Can you provide information about them.

Thank you.

BCM2836 is identical to BCM2835 plus a few differences (notably, 4 CPUs and a massive L2 cache instead of 1 CPU and a shared L2 cache).

Our documentation resources have links to the relevant datasheets.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... /README.md

The Pi 2 schematics are not available. By and large, the external interfaces (GPIO, audio, TV-out, USB) are functionally identical to B+ for which partial schematics are available.
