>> prepping the SD Card I created a Linux image following the instructions and booted the image to make sure everything was fine. Then you simply copy the nk.nb0 over to the SD card renaming it kernel.img. You will have to be careful on how you set up the relationship between the ROMBASE value and ...

I'm going to bump this because i'm playing with CE for the RPi and the Cubieboard.
dboling, did you get any further with the BSP?

I'll be posting updates here: http://shepherdspiblog.tumblr.com/

Thanks Lynbarn, that would be great
Any suggestions on case design? I"ve just done a square box, but would rounded corners be a good idea?

Shepard's Pi is starting to grow on me, actually XD

But i can't for the life of me find the button to edit the post/title.

Started box designs in Autodesk Inventor today.

It's not very expensive to shell a laptop dvd (I've done one ready for my pi)

And my shell came with a usb->power cord so i can just run it from the same hub my pi will run. Keeps wall plugs down to just 1 for the pi, a hdd and the drive

WelshMullet

Looking online, both scart and hdmi have a 5v line you might be able to pull power off. The drive takes its power through the same usb? If your tv has 2+ usb, i'd suggest trying one of those usb cords with an extra plug purely for power.

WelshMullet

<t>I'm building something similar (but with a smaller hard drive and a dvd drive) The dvd drive i'm using pulls extra power for writing, and it does this over another usb cable. I plan to either pull power straight from the board in my powered hub for the Pi, or simply from one of the por...

Right, i've got the dvd drive working, a powered 7 port hub and a 320gb hard drive.

I might have to drop the LCD because they all seem quite pricey.

WelshMullet

You'd have to get a board that could drive the lcd as well as the lcd itself. These tend to be hard to come by and expensive for most screens. Then you'd have to work out how to interface the board with the Pi.

I've thought of calling it something in Welsh, but it's hard for english people to say

<t>I'm working on designing a media centre/ games system/ all rounder enclosure for my initial pi. List of materials: 1x slimline laptop dvd writer 1x small lcd front panel 1x 8 port usb hub (powered) 1x samller, unpowered usb hub 1x ...

WelshMullet

You could add some usb-to-ethernet connecters to the pi's usb ports. The speeds wonk be that great, but it'll mean more network ports.

henkschuif-kaas, i think it can be done, but those things have notoriously low framerates for av-in. (Like <5fps from what i heard)

EDIT: Ignore, didn't see other pages

One of these and a usb hub? :3

Confirmed in my thread on VGA that they are working on getting VGA onto the Mk.2 boards, and have found how to do it, they just need to do a lot of layout changes and thus can't get it done on the Mk.1's

WelshMullet

Ah, i see where i was wrong to assume now. Thanks folks.

Just as a sudden thought... could a pci port be added in any way? (via some of the expansion pins / headers?) That way, old graphics cards could be procured cheaply and used to give vga output.

WelshMullet

Could vga out not be simply done using a cable like this and a audio splitter on the phono port?

Seeing as how the av plug works on a tv, and the board is putting out the video part of the av cable ( i assume, this is probably where i'm wrong).
