Running a Pi with only 3V3

Early on there was discussion that if you don't need HDMI, networking or USB you could run a Pi at 3v3 (powering via the 3v3 pin on the GPIO) has anyone managed this? I need to design something that will work on Pi1's (and later) that will continue to run whilst accessing GPIO and SD card but with n...

Wanted old Laptop keyboards for Repurposing Laptop project

I'm looking to get hold of some old laptop keyboards with either an integrated pointing stick or with a touchpad that has a scroll section on the side. We're working on a project to put Pi Compute modules inside old laptops. Part of the project is interfacing Laptop keyboards and Touchpads to the Pi...

Re: CM and LAN9514

Is there an ETA when the full B+ schematics will be released?

I realise you've all been rather busy!

Hopefully the Pi2 schematics will follow but I think most/all the information needed will be in the B+ schematics.

Re: The Raspberry Pi 2 Q&A thread

I noticed a cool new feature, too. When the power supply is insufficient, a small rainbow-coloured square appears in the top right hand side of the screen, which also becomes translucent as the power reaches its limit. That came in with the B+ more details at:http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt...

Re: DDR2 SODIMM connector

It would be great if RS & Farnell listed all the components used to build Pi's and development kits!
I realise that would not include BCM2835, DDR ram or PCB but offering the LAN9512 etc. and all the connectors, and passives would be extremely useful.

Re: CM IO design files

Hi I've been looking at the I/O board design files in Cadence's entry level version of their software. WE hope to buy a fuller version soon. First we're new to Cadence here and boy is it way more involved than what we're used to. Very unintuitive to us:-( AIUI The one thing that Cadence does in a bi...

Re: Gert's VGA add-on for the B+

1. To use the VGA you need a newer image (although I don't know the exact version.) You ALWAYS need the "dt-blob-dpi.bin" in the boot partition. 2. I don't think there is a configuration for less bits. Also it is not needed, the system does not care if you don't use some bits. Beware to always keep...

Re: Suggestion for Documentation additions

With my English I wouldn't want to inflict it on you.

Another aspect worth documenting I think.
Once you have it working, if you run rpiboot again to turn it into a mass storage device won't cause anything already written to eMMC to be wiped. I know I'm not the only person to wonder that!
