Re: Aye, Aye Raspberry Pi
I thought the ARM was 700MHZ as default? I still need to get one, but being in middle America finding one where shipping is less than the cost of the board hasn't happened yet.
Pass the cheese eh?
Re: Aye, Aye Raspberry Pi
Ah I see. I just need to knuckle under and order one. Shipping costs be damned.

Re: Aye, Aye Raspberry Pi
I don't have a raspberry pi yet but I'm curious if any of you have tried to overclock it to 1ghz, if so how was it?

Re: Aye, Aye Raspberry Pi
Yep, it didn't boot even with OV... tried Rasbmc and OpenELEC... it boots with 950mhz though... but every Pi is different.XBlackChaosX wrote:I don't have a raspberry pi yet but I'm curious if any of you have tried to overclock it to 1ghz, if so how was it?
I'm using arm_freq=840 and core_freq=375 and the UI is pretty smooth. There's also room for lots os tweaks and improvement so it's only going to be a better experience

Re: Aye, Aye Raspberry Pi
Does anyone has the Pi running XBMC from USB?
EDIT: Got it running from a pen drive but it's slower then my Class 10 :\
I used this tut...
"That's pretty easy to do.
All operations take place under Windows:
- Get the preffered image (*.img)
- Use Win32Diskimager to write the *.img to your USB-Stick.
- Copy the content of the VFat-Partition to an old, small SD-Card. (I use a 512MB-Card)
- On the SD-Card edit cmdline.txt to point to your USB-Stick, e.g. disk=/dev/sda2/ (sda2 is the ext4-Partition on the USB-Stick)
- On the SD-Card edit config.txt, e.g. arm_freq=800, core_frequ=400, hdmi_force_hotplug=1 (This one forces HDMI-Output even the TV isn't powered up yet)
Plug the SD-Card and the USB-Stick in your Raspberry, power up and you probably will have a speedincrease of about 25%
Have fun!

Re: Aye, Aye Raspberry Pi
Hahaha that's really quite amusing, sorry phaze I shouldn't laugh
Just got confirmation that my second one has been shipped today so I should have it tomorrow along with the crystal case and black case (one of the cases is for my current pi I'm using). There was a bit of a delay... now when did I order this? Oh yeah that's right fucking ages ago!

Re: Aye, Aye Raspberry Pi
Finally it came, I now have 2 r-pi's
Got one in a black case and one in a crystal, think I'll keep my crystal one as it's a bit geeky but the black one looks really smart and I much prefer the look of that. I had to use my SD card for another project so can't play with them until I order another two up, well I suppose I'd better go and do some more research on which ones work and which ones don't... Actually the 16gb MicroSD sandisk one I was using worked great so maybe I'll just hunt around for a cheap 4/8gb one of those. Any recommendations?

@Lee
I'm this very fast micro SD card: Samsung 8GB SDHC Class 10 (MB-MP8GA)
Any good tutorial on how-to connect a Xbox remote dongle with the RPi?
