Still waiting for mine - though I did buy a case for when it comes. News from www.raspberrypi.org - the prototype submitted for EMC testing has apparently passed, though the paperwork has to be validated (blog posting).
It has passed CE marking, FCC part 15 marking, Canadian certification and the Australian C-Tick scheme. There is also an updated trademark policy at new trademark rules ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/trademark-rules ) and a video over at the Farnell/Element14 website from Eben Upton detailing how to set up the Raspberry Pi, shots of booting, explanations of how to use an editor, compile a first Python program and how to build the graphics demos provided.

Shame the Pi is so sucky that it isn't even capable of running Debian armhf.
ReplyDeleteDebian armhf at the moment is targeting ARM v7.
DeleteARM v6 is being worked on - see the Raspberry Pi forums for details. If you believe that lack of armhf makes the Pi sucky-er, please get involved in fixing the situation.
At the moment, of course, it will happily run all of the current armel port out of the box - as will the Debian 6.17 image running under QEMU.
Pi computer - it will be interesting to see how this affects the market of computers. its cheaper than a phone
ReplyDeleteMind if I ask where you got the case from? Is it custom for the Pi, or just a standard case you're going to put it in?

ModMyPi - was originally going to be 3D printed. The gentleman behind it has now sprung for full injection moulding since he realised he'd only be able to make 10 cases or so per day.
DeleteCustom made for the Pi in various colours of ABS with a transparent version to come: looks well thought out and was minimal cost - pay via PayPal.
I'll wait with interest to see how it turns out - but the pictures of the prototypes appear very well thought through.
