first_main_article” class=”article readability=”42″>

minicomputer $ 35 ARM based Linux operating system, Raspberry Pi, receives a novelty that will surely be liked by most who read us. At least, for those interested in this ‘gadget’, of course. NOOBS talked about the new installation system with which will be easier than ever to try the different flavors of GNU / Linux that have been adapted to the apparatus.

NOOBS RaspberryPi 500x375NOOBS, new installation system for Raspberry Pi

NOOBS

is an acronym for ‘ New Out Of Box Software ‘ and basically consists of the installer that you see in the image on these lines. The software installs on any SD card with at least 4 GB of space and do not need internet connection to use. The choice made will automatically install on the free space on the card and it’s only a matter of reboot and use.

As you can see in the header image, in this first version of NOOBS can choose between Debian, Arch Linux, Fedora (pill) and a couple of versions of XBMC media center. But that’s not all.

NOOBS

also includes a method for fast editing of the configuration of the new system, a web browser preinstalled (Arora!) for any information when online and attention because this is the most interesting, a way of command line recovery from a rescue partition that is automatically created.

To learn more about the new features offered NOOBS I recommend the original article, where you have even a video explaining all the details.

OpenELEC 3.0.0 is served this way of developments brought XBMC 1.12 ‘Frodo’, along with those developers who have made the distribution. OpenELEC supports more hardware than ever , to highlight images dedicated to Pi and mediacenters Rasperry Arctic MC001 (which is distributed with this flavor of Linux).

In fact, one of the things that most developers seem to be proud of this distribution is its integration with XBMC , all thanks to a close collaboration with the XBMC team. OpenELEC is also proud to be the first distro on supporting XvBA (video acceleration via GPU from AMD).

You have all the data on OpenELEC 3.0.0 in the official announcement, while the project download page you will find the different installation images that are several because the system is tailored to the platform it will work , GPUs through the main market for listed Raspberry Pi and even Apple TV. A great example of the wisdom of the diversity of GNU / Linux.

    The Raspberry Pi is not claimed to be as open as

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”40″>Yesterday we told

    the seemingly fantastic news we came Raspberry Pi project, which had managed to convince to open source Broadcom driver VideoCore in its chip. That theoretically would give wings to new possibilities in the BlackBerry Pi, but appeared after two texts have made it clear that such facilities are not as many as it seemed at first.

    Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi 500x339 wallpaper are not as open as they called themselves

    Red Hat developer named Dave Airlie has posted on his blog an open criticism of the announcement of the Raspberry Pi makers, claiming that this code fits virtually nothing: “ can not make improvements in its implementation GLES You can not add new extensions, you can not correct errors, can not do anything with it . You can not write a driver Mesa / Gallium for him [the Broadcom chip]. In other words, you can not do anything “.

    own blog announcement Raspberry Pi a user commented the same, and one of the communications officers actually clarified that there is still no complete opening (which claimed in the ad) since there is some dependence of binary drivers (firmware) that programmers do not have access now.

    There’s some microcode in the VideoCore – Something You Should not Confuse With An ARM-side blob, Which Could Prevent you from actually modifying Understanding or does anything That your computer. That is Effectively firmware microcode.

    One of those responsible for the Raspberry Pi blog also entered the debate by saying that it does actually this release of the code is important :

    I have a feeling we may have to agree to disagree here. I legitimately believe this is a positive step forwards for FOSS and ARM GPUs. That I totally accept the architecture of the VideoCore makes it * much * Easier for all of the ARM code to be opened up. However, it’s still a really useful milestone That you can now run the Raspberry Pi etc with full GL ES support without any non-FOSS running on the ARM

    Anyway, the original story is not as fantastic as seemed : (

    The Raspberry Pi doubled the RAM to 512 MB, and keep their money

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”33″>

    Good news for those responsible for these small minicomputers that have captured the interest of many users. In an official blog post of one of the founders of the project has announced that the Raspberry Pi Model B now include 512 Mbytes of memory instead of the original 256 Mbytes, and they will not go up the original price $ 35.

    The Raspberry Pi raspberrypi double the RAM to 512 MB, and keep their price

    This certainly is great news for those interested in getting one of these devices, which can (among other things) become full Media Center by the existence of specific distros as Raspbmc or Xbian and certainly also be used for a large number of scenarios.

    That probably does no more than increase interest in the RPI, which will have another unintended consequence: sending these minicomputers is still quite slow , and waiting periods now haunt the two months according to some users. Be patient!

    Raspberry Pi already has turbo mode: overclocking with guarantees

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”39″>

    developers singular Raspberry Pi continue to show the versatility of this device, and this time have updated the firmware of it overclocking to perform a controlled and stable .

    500x330 raspberry Raspberry Pi Pi already has turbo mode: overclocking guarantees

    official announcement we can find all the details called Turbo mode , which can increase the processor performance significantly. In fact, this mode makes the overclocking the processor pass the 700 MHz to 1 GHz standards when that power is needed, and then return to the conventional clock whether that is no longer needed power as if the CPU temperature reaches 85 º.

    As tested, the Raspberry Pi is 52% faster on integer operations, 64% faster in floating point and 55% faster on tasks related to memory management. This new mode is available in the firmware update that also includes widgets to consult at any time the temperature and the frequency of the clock .

    also no better USB performance, better support for analog audio and greater support for several USB keys chipset based WiFi RTL8188CUS has become the companion “de facto” the Raspberry Pi users. As stated in the official announcement, after logging the command chart startxpodremos WiFi Config run the utility, we should detect wireless networks to connect to them without problems.
