This is strange but I looked at my two cards and when I compared them I noticed that there appeared to be a small piece missing from then side opposite the "notch" by the contacts. So I inserted the card and pressed down on that side and my Pi began to boot. I then released the pressure and in am ge...

Hi all, I have some odd behavior that I cannot explain. My Pi was working perfectly on a Raspbian image. I picked up my setup (after doing a shut down) and moved it. When I powered it back up I only got the red power LED. I pulled the power and popped in an SD card with raspbmc loaded and it booted ...

I just installed the store in my raspbian image and whenever I open the program I get the error: The User Interface Failed to Load. Try Updating the Client Not sure if this is a bug in the storte or just a failed install, but either way I can't get into the store ;-) i just did a clean install and ...

Not sure if this is a bug in the storte or just a failed install, but either way I can't get into the store

OK, so after the front page annaouncement I'm dying to get my hands on what will be the official image endorsed by the RPi foundation. Is it possible to download that image or has it not yet hit the light of day for regular users? Thanks for all of the great work! (It may be a curse for you as so ma...

Just tried it for the 1st time last night. Works very well! Chromium browsing is better than on the Debian image!

Great work guys!

Quick question, what packages can I install for C/C++ programming?

(OK one more!) Are there I2C and/or SPI drivers available?

Sailing_Nut

Good guess. Both the CPU and the USB/Ethernet chip run at about 50C. I'd point you to the thread where this has been discussed to death, but I wouldn't want to scare you. Summary: Yes it does. It is supposed to. There is nothing wrong. Oh go on then: Ethernet chip gets raging hot Thanks for the inf...

Sailing_Nut

Sorry for the silly title, but I just couldn't resist! Anyway, I was just wondering what other people's experiences are with the temperature of your Pi while running under load. When running XBMC or Debian running X my Pi runs hot enough that putting your finger on the SOC for more than a second is ...

Sailing_Nut

I did a visual inspection of the board and one of the solder joints on the USB connector does look a bit suspect but it's one of the data lines, so I would not expect that I would be experiencing the problems that I am. Especially because it's not the USB port that I have connected to my hub. I just...

Sailing_Nut

Small update. I took a 5V 2A charger from an old MP3 player, chopped the end off and soldered on a Female USB A connector. I then used a charging cable from my cell phone to apply the power to the Pi. Things seem to be better, but not the performance that others seem to be stating they are getting. ...

The unfortunate thing is that I have a ton of spare very hefty PSUs around, but getting them mated to a micro USB is an issue. I read somewhere that you can power the Pi by supplying voltage to pins on one of the headers. <snip> If you're talking about doing that, it sounds like you're happy to sni...

Sailing_Nut

Thanks for the information. It looks like power supply "beef" is my issue. The unfortunate thing is that I have a ton of spare very hefty PSUs around, but getting them mated to a micro USB is an issue. I read somewhere that you can power the Pi by supplying voltage to pins on one of the headers. Unf...

Sailing_Nut

That device won't really tell if it is a power issue with what is being supplied to the Pi. It is only measuring how much the power adapter is drawing from the mains. You need to account for any losses in the conversion from mains AC voltage to the 5V DC for the Pi. The losses can vary widely based ...

Sailing_Nut

Hi all, I know that power issues have been discussed many places, but I am curious how one can tell if improper power is the cause of my problems. I have been able to use the Debian Squeeze image (seemingly) without problems. I did not push it very hard. I did try playing some MP3 files off of a USB...

Sailing_Nut

Well, at long last I got an e-mail saying that mine has shipped! YAY!

The tracking number is still not valid on the UPS web site, but it will probably catch up over night.

Hope everyone that has gotten theirs is having fun and wishing everyone else patience!

<t>Hi all! At one point I saw someone post something about what the two extra connectors on the Pi were for, but I can't seem to find that post. (Maybe just wasn't agressive enough about searching!) The ones I am talking about are the one right next to the Broadcomm chip (and t...

Just heard from Newark. My Pi will be shipping the week of June 18th.

Sailing_Nut

<t>Here's an update I got from a chat with support at Newark yesterday: Marc: Once the compliance testing is complete we will then have a clearer idea about our future deliveries and we will confirm accurate delivery dates. Marc: Apologies again for any co...

Sailing_Nut

<t>My expected date shows 16-Aug. I read the updated FAQ on their site today and it said they would update shipping dates in an e-mail directly to customers as units became available. Was curious if anyone had gotten one of those e-mails yet. My order was placed 3/3/12 10:05 AM...

Sailing_Nut

I know I'm flogging a dead horse here, but just curious if anyone in the US has gotten a ship date from Newark.

I ordered a bit late in the process (about a day after they went live) so just wondering if anyone that "got in early" has gotten a ship date.

Sailing_Nut

<t>With the shipment of my Pi getting closer I've begun "looking forward" to doing development on the board. I was wondering what others might be planning to use for tools in the C / C++ space. I'm a big fan of IDEs for the ease of compiling / debugging and (where supported) GUI design he...
