Raspberry Pi

category: code [glöplog]
Xernobyl: as somebody who writes camera apps, that last post of yours destroyed all enthusiasm I had for the pi :( With a decent GPU, small size, low power and that camera connector it could have been awesome to build a custom camera with it.. but without being able to hook in and take over various parts of the pipeline I might as well just write an iOS app.

pi is linux ?

pi is hardware
pi is 3.14159
Still early days psonice, if there's enough of a stink we might even see some future hardware revisions or Asian clones with extra features. One can dream at least ;)

raizor: aparently a 100% compatible clone will be impossible because of that same reason. There's stuff running on the GPU that's almost impossible to reverse.

So what's wrong? Is the R-Pi scene dead already?
added on the 2012-06-20 23:27:51 by noouch noouch
It's all gone quiet because everyone's hard at work on their kickass RPi prods that will storm the scene at an upcoming summer demoparty, surely? :-)

I've not done a whole lot with mine in the last few weeks, although I did get the OpenGL-hello-world-spinning-cube examples compiled, and I reckon that a useful next step would be to get the GLSL Sandbox framework ported across so that we can start enjoying some shader-in-a-quad intro goodness.

This link (via KeyJ on Twitter) caught my eye today - flamebait aside, I wonder if that code could be useful for porting some classic-OpenGL based demos to the Pi? (I tried a naive compilation of Yellow Rose Of Texas using MESA. It wasn't pretty.)

I got mine two days ago, and I must say coding wise it's surpassed my expectations. Completely standardised hardware with flawless OpenGLES 2.0 without tearing or frameskips, and minimal setup. Feeling the same excitement as when I started coding on the Amiga or C64, at the moment.

I'm enjoying playing with mine, though coding is not my strong point, i'm determined to make -something- even if it's just a scroller :D

So, what's the best place to order one if you actually wish to receive it before next year? :)
added on the 2012-06-21 14:19:33 by gloom gloom
i got mine here:

http://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=raspberrypi

but there is a waiting list, so it might still take a while.

You can buy it from two places: RS and Farnell. Those are the only places selling it anywhere. The Farnell link is http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?ICID=hp_raspberry

RS have a blog post about current delivery status here - judging from that, if you 'register your interest' today you can expect an invitation to order by the end of this month, and to receive it in early October.

gasman: ouch. :( I kinda need one to prototype something in a few weeks.

Does anyone happen to have one they might be inclined to part with?
added on the 2012-06-21 17:38:49 by gloom gloom
mine arrived today. i won't be able to touch it till the middle of the next week.

october? ouch! by the time they start shipping at a steady rate e39 will look way too expensive for what it is.

gloom: I have a spare that I'm probably not going to need at the moment. Shoot me a mail at raizor (*at*) gmail.com with your postal address.

That alternative board is a cheap Chinese tablet without the tablet :P
I could find the shipping price (Royal Mail Air Mail EU: £2.70 5-7 working days), but I couldn't find the price of the board.

*shipping cost, not price...
added on the 2012-06-22 17:59:55 by xernobyl xernobyl
£40 but don't remember where I read that
It would end up some €15 more expensive than the raspberry pi, for a lot more power...

Interesting as well.
