I couldn’t resist not trying out my RaspberryPI which I received yesterday 🙂
I quickly recycled one of my SD cards, installed the recommended SD image and booted it up.
After the initial boot setup screen (and partition resize), you can see it running connected to a monitor via HDMI, with a keyboard, mouse and wireless adapter (Asus WL-167g) all plugged in a 4-port USB hub…
Yay! After around 4 months of waiting, it is finally here. My very own Raspberry PI 🙂
It appears I received a rev2 board which, among other small improvements, should feature 512MB of RAM instead of 256.
The board comes packed in a nice neat pink(?!) case, together with a quick start guide giving you the essential information on how to get the thing started…
This is an extract from WD’s own “Model Number Format for OEM and Distribution Channels” document – describing what each letter/number of a WD hard drive model number refers to.
I got a Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router that somewhat worked and somewhat didn’t: it booted alright (no led errors), responded to ping on its default IP (192.168.1.1), bot other than that, it did not respond on the web interface, nor telnet/ssh, nor dhcp.
I tried the 30/30/30 reset , tried TFTP recovery – nothing worked.
As it had the original Linksys firmware, at this point it was either a hardware failure or the only recovery course would be the JTAG reflash.
