Today I received 2 Raspberry Pi boards from watterott.com – Thanx for the fast delivery!
Specs: www.watterott.com/de/Raspberry-Pi-Model-B
During installation and configuration some bugs appeared, so here are some notes to get around:
I used this debian wheezy image: www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
and followed the linux console install guide elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup
At first various problems occurred: locale- and keyboard- config did not work in raspi-config, apt-get dist-upgrade failed to install libgcc1, …
so I changed the dd command to blocksize 1MB and re-installed the SD-card:
[c]dd bs=1M if=~/2012-09-18-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/sdX[/c]
Those problems did not disappeared, instead:
- HDMI to DVI-D(igital) adapter works instantly
- USB-keyboard and mouse work instantly
- 1000mAH 5V adapter is strong enough to power the board with keyboard LAN and DVI connected
- apt-get dist-upgrade works
- locale- and keyboard- config works in raspi-config
- LXDE desktop works
- network and ssh-daemon up and running
Installation of some basic tools:
[c]apt-get install mc screen rcconf tmux[/c]
Moving on to some multimedia stuff, I found alsa and sound- modules correctly installed, so I added:
[c]apt-get install mplayer vlc[/c]
work in progress…
