'''A note about this page: For USB devices, please specify if they required a powered hub'''
==Notes==

19-Apr-2012: Now that the Model B board is shipping, details added should relate to this board and the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads default Debian distribution] unless stated otherwise. A suggested suffix markup scheme is as follows:

* (A) - Relates to model A production board
* (B) - Relates to model B production board
* (!) - Information from alpha and beta board days -- beta board verified peripherals should still apply to production boards for the most part, but the alpha board is fairly different
* No markup - relates to all production boards

''Discuss: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247 http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247]''

If you are adding to a product list it would help clarity if entries are kept/added in alphabetical order.

==Power Usage Notes==
{{Warning|Adding peripherals may increase the loading on the power supply to your board and this, in turn, may affect the voltage presented to the Raspberry Pi. If the Raspberry Pi's supply voltage falls below a certain value (anecdotally stated as around 4.75 V), or it begins to fluctuate, your setup may become unstable. There is a [http://elinux.org/RPi_Hardware#Power Wiki section about this issue] which is worth a read.}}

'''Model B Hardware Revisions and USB Power limits'''
'''Hardware Revision 1.0'''
The original Model B board had current limiting polyfuses which limited the power output of each USB port to approximatly 100 mA. USB devices using more than 100 mA had to be connected via a powered hub. The Raspberry Pi's PSU was chosen with a power budget of 700 mA of which 200 mA were assigned to the USB ports, so the Raspberry Pi's (poly)fuses were designed only for devices up to 100 mA, and typical 140 mA polyfuses will have as much as 0.6 volt across them when drawing currents near the 100 mA limit. As a consequence the USB ports are only directly suitable for "single current unit" USB devices which, according to USB specifications, are designed to work with just 4.4 Volt. Not only do non single current unit devices draw more current (causing greater Voltage drops, and greater stress on the fuses), they also might require 4.75 Volt to work.

'''Model B Hardware Revision 2.0 and Revision 1.0 with ECN0001 change'''
This had the polyfuses removed, removing the 100 mA current limitation for each USB port (but leaving the main fuse F3 intact). Users should still ensure their power supply can power the Raspberry Pi and the USB peripherals. Revision 2.0 was released in August 2012.

==Linux Driver Issues==
Shortly after the Raspberry Pi was released it was confirmed that there were a number of issues with the Linux USB driver for the SMSC95xx chip. These included problems with USB 1.x peripherals that use split transactions, a fixed number of channels (causing problems with Kinect) and the way the ARM processor handles the SMSC95xx interrupts. [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12097&start=76] [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=5249&start=44]
A large number of fixes were included in the 2012-08-19-Wheezy-raspbian Linux image.

== Powered USB Hubs ==
A number of low-cost powered USB hubs are known to have caused problems. Members of the Raspberry Pi forums have reported low power or no power at all in some cases. The following is a list of specific Powered USB Hubs which appear to be fault-free. Please note that these do not take into account powering the Raspberry Pi from the hub, in addition to its peripherals.

If you use a powered hub and the Raspberry Pi PSU together consider powering them from the same power bar with switch, so you can turn them on simultaneously., especially if the HUB tries to feed the Raspberry Pi through their interconnect cable, due to the 100 mA limiting fuse in the Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi will be partially powered which may cause problems (unwanted writes to the SD card).

===Problem USB Hubs===

Please check known workarounds [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list here] before adding to the list

*'''Addon'''
** 7-Port Powered Hub - labelled ADDUH070P - Gives constant Eth0 errors on boot.
*'''Belkin'''
** 7-Port Powered Mobile Hub - device labelled F4U018, packaging labelled F5U701. lsusb reveals it to be two Genesys Logic 4-port hubs based on the GL850G chipset (vendor: 0x05e3 product: 0x0608) ganged together. Yields a lot of "handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" errors and device resets in /var/log/messages. Low speed devices such as keyboards work OK, Wi-Fi/mass storage is unreliable or broken. -- No error messages with the latest kernel, but it is still unstable with mass storage devices. Also, leaks current back to the Raspberry Pi (can be fixed by overtaping GND and +5 V pinouts)
** F4U022 7-Port powered USB hub (powered 5 V, 2.6 A), same as F4U018
** 7-Port Powered Hub - device labled F5U237 Rev.3 - ID 050d:0237 Wired Ethernet fails to connect; gives "DWC OTG HCD URB enqueue failed adding QTD. Error status -4008" Result is same as DUB-H7 below.
** F5U404 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Mobile Hub. Faulty/bad design; Leaks current back up the cable to the Raspberry Pi.
** F5U307 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub (Powered, able to apply power to Raspberry Pi via micro USB from this hub at same time) It work's sometimes. (Works always without powering the Raspberry Pi, haven't tried that)

*'''Dell'''
** Dell U2410 Monitor Built-in 4 Port Hub - Shows up as a pair with 0424:2514 and 0424:2640. Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub. When connecting some devices it kills the Ethernet with "smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: eth0: Failed to read register index 0x0000011X" errors. It did work for a keyboard and webcam. Bluetooth that works connected directly to the Raspberry Pi triggers the error.

*'''DELTACO'''
** 7-Port USB Hub UH-713 Rev 3. This one consists also of two 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUBs connected together. The power supply is rated at 5 V 2 A. It kills Ethernet when X11 is started.

*'''Dynex'''
** 7-Port USB Hub - Does not work in Debian 19-04 image.
** DX-HB7PT 7-Port USB Hub - As per the Gear Head below, it's 2 daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Appears to result in significant slow downs when the USB is under load, such as running the root filesystem from a USB drive.

*'''Dynamode'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub (Silver and black). Feeds power back up the interconnect to the Raspberry Pi causing the power LED to light on the Raspberry Pi if the hub is powered on, but the Raspberry Pi is not. The Raspberry Pi also fails to boot when powered off this hub, with or without the interconnect plugged in. Stops the network from working when connected to the Raspberry Pi after booting the Raspberry Pi - cannot ssh to the Raspberry Pi. Best avoided. :-( Shows up in ''lsusb'' as a pair of ''ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB'' which is interesting. - Confirmed. This hub also appears unable to power an external USB drive using a y-cable as it gives the error -71 message in dmesg (when providing external power to the Raspberry Pi).
** 4-Port High-Speed USB 2.0 Hub (USB-H40-A2.0), came with with a 1 A power supply. Leaks power to the Raspberry Pi through the uplink. Doesn't work with Raspberry Pi, unless the Raspberry Pi is powered by a second power source. This hub is completely generic and I've seen it being sold under different brand names as well. Therefore, a picture is [http://i.imgur.com/BPZ3j.jpg included] for easy identification.

*'''D-Link'''
** 7-Port USB Hub DUB-H7 (Crashes USB stack, including Ethernet, when plugging / using some peripherals). (See note above, it works with some distros and/or with latest firmware)

*'''E-Solution'''
** 4-Port 2 A Supply (Does not detect at all during boot or after boot- no messages) [IC = Alcor Micro Corp (AU6254)]

*'''Fosmon'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub with 1 A Power Supply (Causes interference with other USB devices and sends enough power to light up the Raspberry Pi with it's Micro USB cable unplugged).

*'''Gear Head'''
** UH7250MAC 7-port powered hub. Internally, two daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Causes Ethernet instability when used under very specific circumstances, in X11.
** <strike>UH5200T 4-port powered hub. As of 2012-08-16 Wheezy, if any USB 1.x device (a keyboard, for example) is plugged into this hub, Ethernet stops, and USB interrupts for other devices get dropped (keys repeating forever), etc. Occurs even if power is not attached (not a power leakage problem).</strike> Appears working after a bootloader and/or firmware update on 9/12. Also, turned out to be somewhat more specific to the combination of two particular low-speed devices.

*'''Hama'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 "bus hub", model 78496 (?). Only works for low power devices (card readers?), but it does not work for power hungry devices (HDD and WLAN). It doesn't boot when hub connected to Raspberry Pi. The funniest thing is that Raspberry Pi powers on when I plug in this hub to normal size USB port (not that small dedicated port). idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0608

*'''Kensington'''
** 7-Port Dome Hub model no 1500129 (Possible problems with malfunctioning keyboard, kills mouse when GUI started).

*'''iBall'''
** Piano 423 4-Port USB hub. Listed in lsusb as Genesys Logic. Fails to deliver enough power to connected devices even when using AC power suply.

*'''Inland'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 Cable Hub model no 480426 (Some devices work, some don't, cheap unshielded untwisted wire design)

*'''Logik'''

The keyboard sometimes hangs after power on when used with my laptop - it seems to need 30 seconds of non-use before it works fine. Again, remove and insert the dongle cures it. Works fine vi my Benq monitor's USB Hub.

===Problem USB Keyboards===

Note that generally PS/2 keyboards with an USB adapter will not work directly on a Raspberry Pi port, due to the fact that PS/2 keyboards are designed for normal 5 V +-5% range, while USB keyboards must be designed to work with 4.4 Volt, and generally USB devices on the Raspberry Pi may receive less than 4.75 Volt. PS/2 + USB adapter keyboards might work behind a powered hub, which does provide the full 5.0 V. Some of these keyboards work when running the latest Raspbian, but not when using the overclocked XBMC version of Raspbmc, probably due to the overclocking drawing more power away from the rest of the support system devices.

* '''Logik'''
** Logik IMF Blue Trace Wired USB mouse (Model LMWBLU11) - disconnects from the USB port every 20 seconds when using the Raspian distro. Always reconnects to the USB port successfully (B)

* '''Logitech'''
** Logitech G400 Gaming Mouse - 100% CPU load and laggy mouse cursor when the mouse is moved. MX518 works fine on the same setup, so I suspect it's a polling rate issue. [http://tech2.in.com/reviews/mice/logitech-g400-is-it-a-worthy-successor/231012 this] says the mouse is 1000 Hz out of the box, whereas the 518 is only 125 Hz. Solution found: add usbhid.mousepoll=8 to the kernel commandline.

* '''Microsoft'''
** Microsoft Touch Mouse - Does not see right clicks, Only left.

* '''Razer'''
** Naga Wired USB mouse - the mouse seems to present itself as a keyboard because the numpad on the left-hand side of the device works, but the cursor doesn't move.

* '''Roccat'''

Does not require a powered hub.

== USB Wi-Fi Adapters ==

See also: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44703/l/raspberry-pi-wifi-adapter-testing

There is a howto on installing the TL-WN722N adapter [http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals#Wireless:_TP-Link_TL-WN722N_USB_wireless_adapter_.28Debian_6.29 here], which also acts as a guide for installing others too.

===Working USB Wi-Fi Adapters===

These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, other adapters may well work, but it has not yet been tried.

'''Note:''' A Wi-Fi adapter will probably need more power than the Raspberry Pi USB port can provide, especially if
there is a large distance from the Wi-Fi adapter to the Wi-Fi Access Point. Therefore, you may need to plug the Wi-Fi adapter into a powered USB hub.

* '''3COM'''
** 3CRUSB10075: ZyDAS zd1211rw chipset (!)

* '''7DayShop'''
** W-3S01BLK, W-3S01BLKTWIN: Unbranded product available from 7DayShop, in a single or twin pack.

Tested on Debian Wheezy, with the dongle attached directly to the Raspberry Pi along with the wireless keyboard receiver. Shows up as a Ralink RT5370 device, and no drivers or additional software downloads required. Created wpa.conf, edited 'interfaces' file and restarted the networking. The manufacturer portion of the MAC address (7cdd90) is assigned to "Shenzhen Ogemray Technology Co., Ltd."
** It works without additional software connected directly to a Rev 2 Raspberry Pi, but it stops working after a period of time (3 to 4 hours) with a fully updated Wheezy and all the 'USB workarounds' [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list] in place.

* '''A-Link'''
** A-Link NA1GU Gigabit USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter
This adapter works, but it (probably) requires a bit of work. The driver for the chipset (Asix AX88178) included with the Raspbian kernel (v 3.1.9+ Aug 7 2012) does '''not''' work. With that driver the device is detected, but it does not seem to be possible to actually put any traffic through it. :-( In order to make it work you need to download the latest driver from [http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=84;71;100&PLine=71 the chipset manufacturer]. The version I used was "Linux kernel 3.x/2.6.x Driver" v4.4.0, released 2012-05-18. Fortunately this is GNU GPLv2 -licenced source code and not a binary blob, so compiling it for the Raspberry Pi is perfectly doable. The hardest part was in fact getting the Linux source code required, because the repositores contained the source for the wrong kernel version. >:-( Fortunately there is [https://www.grendelman.net/wp/compiling-kernel-modules-for-raspbian-raspberry-pi a very useful guide] for how to get the sources from github, and preparing that source so that you can compile modules. Unfortunately you will have to compile the kernel (even if you don't actually install it) - which will take the better part of the day on the Raspberry, but once that's done you can unpack the driver source and just run "make && sudo make install". Reboot and you should have a fully working Ethernet adapter.

The adapter seems to work without a powered USB hub, but according to the specifications it can draw up to 190 mA, so there might be stability issues if additional power is not provided.

===Problem Ethernet adapters===
* Axago
** Axago ADE-X1 10/100 Ethernet Adapter (USB: 9710:7830 driver:mcs7830). Adapter working about 10 minutes without problem, but after that kernel write error message to dmesg and no packet is received. Needed to unplug and plug USB again. Tested with and without powered USB hub.

== USB Sound Cards ==
You will usually want the <code>alsa</code> package for sound. In the Debian image for Raspberry Pi (and possibly other distributions) USB sound cards are prevented from loading as the first sound card, which can be an annoyance if it's the only device you have. To disable this behaviour edit <code>/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf</code> and comment out the last line; <code>options snd-usb-audio index=-2</code> . If you are not user ''pi'' you may need to add your username to the ''audio'' group thus: <code>sudo adduser yourusername audio</code> (user ''pi'' usually belongs to this group anyway).

== USB Webcams ==

Debian image is missing v4l kernel modules, so video devices are not available. Kernel and firmware upgrade can possibly be used to fix this[http://blog.pixelami.com/2012/06/raspberry-pi-firmware-update-for-debian-squeeze/].

*'''Creative'''
**WebCam Pro / PD1030 - ov519 driver crashes almost immediately. ("gspca: ISOC data error: [0] len=0, status=-4004")

*'''Logitech'''
**Webcam Pro 9000 - Has issues capturing images at higher than default resolutions (using motion - Arch and Debian).
**Webcam Pro 4000 - It uses pwc driver which does not work. Maybe it's because of general Raspberry Pi USB bug.

*'''Microsoft'''

== USB GPS devices ==
*Royaltek
**Royaltek RGM 2000 SiRF2 using the included serial (TTL) to USB - converter. That uses a Profilic pl2303-chip so you'll need to compile the module or the kernel manually
*Garmin
**Garmin eTrex Vista HCx: It works, but it may draw too much power. To get it working (software part): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/USB_Garmin_on_GNU/Linux
*GlobalSat
**GlobalSat BU-353 Does not require a powered hub, works fine when directly plugged into the Raspberry Pi. On Raspian, requires the gpsd and gpsd-client packages. For some reason, the gpsd daemon does not always start correctly on boot. You may need to do something like the following to manually restart it: <pre>sudo killall gpsd; sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock</pre>

*Wintec
**WBT-200: No problem on Debian
*Holux
**Holux M-215: Works fine on Arch, uses Silicon Labs CP210x RS232 serial adaptor driver
*Bluenext
**Bluenext BN903S: No problem on Debian image (19-04-2012).

== USB UART and USB to Serial (RS-232) adapters ==
A USB UART adapter is used to access the serial console of the Raspberry Pi from a development host such as a laptop or desktop PC. The USB end connects to the PC and the UART header end connects to the USB. While it is possible to connect the USB end to another Raspberry Pi, this configuration has not been tested unless explicitly mentioned against an individual entry below.

*'''FTDI'''
**FT232 chip based adapters works for some people, but others find it hangs Linux when the port is opened. The module is ftdi_sio.

** FT2232D dual RS232/FIFO works (used in various JTAG devices)

*'''Prolific'''
**PL2303 chip based adaptors works fine on latest Debian tested with ''minicom'' and ''gtkterm''

A USB to Serial (RS-232) adapter is used the other way around, ie. the USB end connects to the Raspberry Pi and the RS-232 end (DSUB-9 or DSUB-25 pin) to the other device which may be another computer, (old) modem or printer, or some electronic test equipment.

*"Best Connectivity" (Possibly also sold under the "Newlink HQ" or "Kenable HQ" labels)
**FG-U1232-PL2 Based upon the Prolific PL2303X chipset and listed by ''lsusb'' as <code>ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port</code>. Appears as <code>/dev/ttyUSB0</code>, and requires the user to be a member of the ''dialout'' group (which ''pi'' is for ''Raspbian Wheezy''). Initially tested using an old RS Datalinker setup in "loopback" mode via ''microcom'' upto 9600 baud, and ''gtkterm'' after installing that from source code. All handshake lines toggled as expected and no characters were lost. Subsequently ''gtkterm'' was used to check bi-directional communication with an ancient brother EP44 electronic typewriter (as a printer/dumb terminal) at 1200 baud. Signal lines were again monitored with the Datalinker.

== Other, exotic USB devices ==
=== USB to Parallel Port/Printer Adapters ===
*'''Prolific'''
**PL2305 Chipset with Centronics 36w connector. Originally purchased for use with a netbook and connected to an old Canon BJC-250 printer. Worked fine under [[RPi_Distributions#RISC_OS| RISC OS Raspberry Pi]] with its in-built BJC-250 driver. Could not install the CUPS drivers etc. for Wheezy-Raspbian, but it was able to do so for Wheezy-armel. (See notes at [http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/USBtoParPrntAdapter.html http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/USBtoParPrntAdapter] for more info.)

=== USB to SATA ===
*'''Nippon Labs'''
** 2.5" SATA HDD USB Adapter with silicone HDD sleeve. Model: USB-ADT-25SATA. Works on powered Hub, not directly to Raspberry Pi. Built-in "Y" power adapter.

=== CAN Bus ===
*PEAK-System (www.peak-system.com)
**PCAN-USB using the driver (kernel module) from http://www.peak-system.com/fileadmin/media/linux/index.htm
=== Home automation ===
*Tellstick (www.telldus.com), installation [[R-Pi_Tellstick_core|instructions]]
**Depends on libftdi1

=== Touch Screen ===
*ACER T230H touch screen [http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/monitor/2009/acer/t230h/t230hnv.shtml]
**USB TS identifies as "Quanta Computer, Inc. Optical dual-touch panel", module hid_quanta
**Seems to draw over 200 mA from USB!
=== Floppy Disk Drive ===
*Samsung USB Floppy Drive SFD-321U/HP
**I suppose a floppy drive might be considered exotic nowadays!
**LSUSB lists it as Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. Floppy Disk Drive
**Only tried connected to a powered USB hub, as the drive is labelled 5 V at 0.5 A on a Raspberry Pi running Debian Wheezy.
**tail -f /var/log/syslog looking for mount device when plugged in, came up as SDA in testing.
**sudo mkdir /media/floppy
**sudo mount /dev/sda /media/floppy
**Contents of floppy now available in /media/floppy
**To remove drive, ensure no sessions have the floppy directory as the current working directory.
**sudo umount /media/floppy
=== USB Missile Launcher ===
*USB Missile Launcher / Rocket Launcher sold in UK by Marks and Spencer, but it is also sold under a range of other names.
**USB ID 1130:0202 Tenx Technology, Inc. Use apt-get install pymissile (python code) and there is C code at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbmissile/ usbmissile from Source Forge]
=== USB Docking Stations ===
*StarTech USB 3.0 to Dual 2.5"/3.5" SATA HDD Dock (SATDOCK2U3GB)
**This is an externally powered dual sata HDD docking station, which has USB2.0 compatibility with the Raspberry Pi.
**Tested with latest Raspbmc and Debian Wheezy Raspbian, 3.1.9+ #168
=== USB RFID Reader ===
*Unbranded 125 kHz EM4100 RFID reader from eBay sellers (< £7), the one with a Windows logo on (easily scratches off for Linux users).
**Initially would not work when plugged in directly to Raspberry Pi. Worked when connected via an unpowered Trust hub. Worked after Raspberry Pi was modified with 10K resistors over the USB polyfuses (warranty invalidated). Probably would work fine with powered hub.
**Sends a 10 digit string to current window or console as if it was a keyboard. Can be captured independently of keyboard using Linux event interface (/dev/input), but the kernel in current distributions does not have CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV selected so kernel rebuild is necessary.
=== JTAG ===
* FTDI2232D dual RS232/FIFO based JTAG (e.g. SheevaPlug JTAGKey USB-ID 9e88:9e8f)
** works using the Raspberry Pi as a development host
=== USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader ===
* US Robotics All-In-One Multi-Format Card Reader (Product # USR8420) Accepts 5 cards simultaneously
** SD/MMC + MS/MS PRO or DUO/DUO PRO + CF/MD + SM + SD/MMC or MS/MS PRO. Useful for backing up cards containing other OS Distros

== PS2 / AT to USB Converters ==

* Unbranded active converter known as the "blue cube". Based on the Cypress CY7C63723C 8 bit RISC. Please see http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=PS2-to-USB+adapters for more information.
Note that although the adapter might work, PS/2 keyboards were not designed to be low power USB devices, so they might not meet the requirement to work with considerable lowered supply voltage (4.4 volt) provided by the USB ports of the raspberry PI. These keyboards should work when powered by a powered hub.

'''Tested PS2/AT keybords'''

All above tested with the famous "blue cube" on a powered USB hub.

*IBM Model F (please note requires an additional AT to PS2 converter)
*Dell AT101w
*Northgate Ominikey Ultra T (please note requires an aditonal AT to PS2 converter)

* 04d9:1400 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. PS/2 keyboard + mouse controller
** Working: Ipex RT215KTW PS/2 keyboard
** Not working: HP SK-2502 PS/2 keyboard (gets power, but it does not init - three LEDs remain permanently lit. Keyboard + Holtek converter work on a Linux PC, although this keyboard doesn't work with some native PS/2 ports.)

== Power adapters ==
The Raspberry Pi uses a standard Micro USB (type B) power connector, which runs at 5 V. Generally you can use a MicroUSB to USB cable and then either power the Raspberry Pi directly from your main computers USB ports (if they provide enough power), or by using a USB to Mains adaptor. A number of mobile phones use MicroUSB power cables, and these are compatible with the Raspberry Pi in most cases. Below is a list of power adaptors known to work.

== Display adapters ==
Note that active converter boxes may draw power through the HDMI port, and thus will put an extra load on your PSU, and also increase the current running through the Raspberry Pi's primary input fuse. HDMI ports (and the raspberry PI) are designed so that they deliver a very limited amount of power (50 mA) to the TV/Monitor/display-adapter and much more isn't in theory allowed. In fact there is a diode (D1) in series with the power line which can only handle 200 mA, if the adapter tries to draw much more than that the diode might fail. Therefore only externally powered adapters are to be recommended. Despite this, many people report success with these high powered devices.

===HDMI->DVI-D===
There are three kinds of DVI. There is DVI-D, a digital signal fully compatible with HDMI, so a passive cable can be used. There is DVI-I, which is a connector with both analog pins and digital pins. An HDMI to DVI-D adapter fits in a DVI-I female connector. Finally, there is DVI-A. This a fairly rare connection, but occasionally it will be found on some monitors and is an analog interface, in fact the same as VGA!

Some adapters like Farnell part AK-CBHD03-BK are HDMI to DVI-I, which, while not fitting in a DVI-D monitor, are still compatible. The analog pins simply must be bent.

The HDMI to DVI-D cable provided by Apple with the 2010 Mac Mini worked. It does not appear this adapter can be purchased separately.

Works well, but it's probably the cause of some power loss between the Raspberry Pi and the monitor, causing [http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Interference_visible_on_a_HDMI_or_DVI_monitor this] problem. A setting of config_hdmi_boost='''5''' in /etc/boot solved this. Note that config_hdmi_boost='''4''', as suggested in the troubleshooting guide, helped, but it did not solve the problem completely.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KEIRNG -- "Neewer" HDMI to VGA -- some issues discussed below:
However, according to user "Tom1989" the same Neewer HDMI to VGA adapter burned out BAT54 Schottky diode D1 on the Raspberry Pi and broke its HDMI output: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9819 Serious HDMI Problems. What's that smell? Burning Raspberry!]. On that thread, "mahjongg" suggested the NXP (or equivalent) PMEG2010AET as a high-current replacement for D1. The PMEG2010AET has 1 A max forward current, much greater than the BAT54's 200 mA limit which may be exceeded by your HDMI -> VGA converter. Remember that the converter's current must come from your Raspberry Pi power supply and go through the Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3, so you may get extra voltage drops and/or cause F3 to trip depending on how much current the converter uses. As always with board modifications, YMMV. Also on the "Burning Raspberry!" thread, user "pwinwood" reported the Neewer's current to be 400 mA, which is twice the limit of BAT54 diode D1. "pwinwood" also took the Neewer apart and added its own +5 V connection adapted from a USB cable, which bypasses Raspberry Pi's Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3.

This adapter -- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300692770623 -- works from 640x480 up to 1920x1080, audio over HDMI works too.
Sadly the IC's on the PCB have all been scrubbed.

Tested against a Philips 170B 1280x1024 LCD monitor, producing a full native resolution image. Not tested against a Component Video TV yet, and audio has yet to be got working.

According to user "Mortimer" -- HDFury1 1080p HDMI to VGA Converter from HDFury.com. I'm not sure the HDFury1 can be got a hold of easily nowadays, I happened to have access to one to try out. HDFury2, 3 and 4 are available as far as I can tell, but it is very pricey compared to the alternatives. HDFury1 was around £80 when we bought one for a project at work. HDFury2 seems to be around £130, 3 and 4 are getting on towards £200 or more. So not to be recommended as a solution unless you happen to have one lying around. I don't believe there is any relationship between the company that produces these and the HDFuryPro I bought for myself (See above). I didn't alter any config settings, just plugged it in. It doesn't work without having its external power supply connected, as it requires 0.4 A, which is too much draw for the 5 V supply available from the HDMI socket on the Raspberry Pi. Its power LED lights, but no picture is produced. In comparison to the HDFuryPro this picture from this device is sharper, but it is not enough to justify the extra cost.
The [[RPi_config.txt|config.txt]] settings used are:

The config.txt for Raspbian (Flatron VGA monitor 1024 * 768):
 hdmi_drive=2
 hdmi_group=2

And another one: http://cgi.ebay.pl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251086464644. It is very cheap, but it works perfectly. No config.txt changes was needed at all. I've booted Raspbian and OpenELEC. Monitor is detected correctly and the optimal resolution is set (Raspbian) or you can change the res in the menu (OpenELEC).
The /opt/vc/bin/tvservice is able to read monitor edid data. I tested the adapter using NEC 72VM 15" LCD. (1280x1024 60 Hz, 1024x768 60 Hz, 640x480 works) The adapter is based on Lontium LT8511A chip, but I was unable to get the specification for it.
The D1 diode is getting very hot though. Most likely the adapter drives more than 200 mA. The standard RS Components 1.2 A USB power supply is able to provide enough power for the Raspberry Pi and the adapter. I'll try to modify the adapter to connect external power to bypass D1.

===DVI-D -> VGA active adapters===
None are currently listed

===Composite->SCART===
SCART adapters (SCART plugs with three RCA connectors in the back), will probably work when used with the yellow RCA plug connected to the Raspberry Pi's RCA video output. Additionally using a splitter cable (3.5 mm jack plug on one end, and red-white RCA plugs on the other end) will probably work when plugged into the red and white (left and right audio channels) of the SCART adapter.

== SD cards ==

The SD card is a key part of the Raspberry Pi; it provides the initial storage for the Operating System and files. Storage can be extended through many types of USB connected peripherals.

When the Raspberry Pi is 'switched on', i.e. connected to a power supply, a special piece of code called the bootloader is executed, which reads more special code from the SD card that is used to start up the Raspberry Pi. If there is no SD card inserted, it will not start. Do NOT push in or pull out an SD card while the Raspberry Pi is connected to the power, as this is likely to corrupt the SD card data (you might get away with it, but it is best not to).

The SD card must be formatted, or written to, in a special way that means the Raspberry Pi can read the data it needs to start properly. If you are new to this check the instructions, or buy a pre-formatted SD card.

One advantage to using an SD card like this is that you can have several SD cards, each with a different operating system, or a different purpose. Simply power off, switch cards, and reconnect the power. You have a different computer to play with.

=== Which SD card? ===

[[File:SD_Card_dimensions.png‎|right|frameless|SD card sizes]]

SD cards come in three physical sizes (see picture). The Raspberry Pi needs the largest one. The miniSD card and the MicrSD card can be used in a Raspberry Pi, but you will need an adapter / holder to fit it.

SD cards come in a range of storage sizes. You need one of type SDHC, but there are other types of SDSC, SDXC and SDIO which will not work in a Raspberry Pi (confirmation needed). The SDHC type comes in memory sizes of up to 32 GB.

There are other properties of SD cards that are not covered here. Read the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital Wikipedia article] for those details.

=== Technical Information ===

Note that manufacturers change their designs over time, even as the specs stay the same. (E.g. an ACME 8 GB class 4 card manufactured in 2011 might work, while one manufactured in 2012 might not.)
For this reason, please specify product numbers in the lists below, when possible.

You can also attach the following fields from your card's CID:
<pre>
cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc?/mmc?:*
echo "man:$(cat manfid) oem:$(cat oemid) name:$(cat name) hwrev:$(cat hwrev) fwrev:$(cat fwrev)"

===Problem SD cards===

Make sure that you buy your card from a reliable source. There are many cheap Chinese copies of (brand name) SD-Cards on the market, [http://www.petapixel.com/2011/05/20/one-third-of-the-sandisk-memory-cards-on-earth-are-counterfeit/] in addition they are often mislabeled as having greater capacity than they really have. For example they might be sold as being 4 GB, but they are actually 2 GB (or even less).

There were initially issues with most Class 10 SDHC cards, apparently due to a bug in the Broadcom bootloader.[http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/class-10-sd-cards-on-the-production-boards/page-3/#p39181]

This seems to have been fixed in sdhci.c: [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/7e8ae226fe6e95954df6b0dcdde40a53dbbc1a0b] Further feedback will be useful.

If you add an SD card here, please also mention the kernel date and the date you tried it. This allows people to estimate how likely it is that a driver-fix in the kernel has been fixed. (i.e. I think some/most of the cards here work fine now, because a problem in the kernel driver has been fixed).

'''A note about this page: For USB devices, please specify if they required a powered hub'''
==Notes==

19-Apr-2012: Now that the Model B board is shipping, details added should relate to this board and the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads default Debian distribution] unless stated otherwise. A suggested suffix markup scheme is as follows:

* (A) - Relates to model A production board
* (B) - Relates to model B production board
* (!) - Information from alpha and beta board days -- beta board verified peripherals should still apply to production boards for the most part, but the alpha board is fairly different
* No markup - relates to all production boards

''Discuss: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247 http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247]''

If you are adding to a product list it would help clarity if entries are kept/added in alphabetical order.

==Power Usage Notes==
{{Warning|Adding peripherals may increase the loading on the power supply to your board and this, in turn, may affect the voltage presented to the Raspberry Pi. If the Raspberry Pi's supply voltage falls below a certain value (anecdotally stated as around 4.75 V), or it begins to fluctuate, your setup may become unstable. There is a [http://elinux.org/RPi_Hardware#Power Wiki section about this issue] which is worth a read.}}

'''Model B Hardware Revisions and USB Power limits'''
'''Hardware Revision 1.0'''
The original Model B board had current limiting polyfuses which limited the power output of each USB port to approximatly 100 mA. USB devices using more than 100 mA had to be connected via a powered hub. The Raspberry Pi's PSU was chosen with a power budget of 700 mA of which 200 mA were assigned to the USB ports, so the Raspberry Pi's (poly)fuses were designed only for devices up to 100 mA, and typical 140 mA polyfuses will have as much as 0.6 volt across them when drawing currents near the 100 mA limit. As a consequence the USB ports are only directly suitable for "single current unit" USB devices which, according to USB specifications, are designed to work with just 4.4 Volt. Not only do non single current unit devices draw more current (causing greater Voltage drops, and greater stress on the fuses), they also might require 4.75 Volt to work.

'''Model B Hardware Revision 2.0 and Revision 1.0 with ECN0001 change'''
This had the polyfuses removed, removing the 100 mA current limitation for each USB port (but leaving the main fuse F3 intact). Users should still ensure their power supply can power the Raspberry Pi and the USB peripherals. Revision 2.0 was released in August 2012.

==Linux Driver Issues==
Shortly after the Raspberry Pi was released it was confirmed that there were a number of issues with the Linux USB driver for the SMSC95xx chip. These included problems with USB 1.x peripherals that use split transactions, a fixed number of channels (causing problems with Kinect) and the way the ARM processor handles the SMSC95xx interrupts. [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12097&start=76] [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=5249&start=44]
A large number of fixes were included in the 2012-08-19-Wheezy-raspbian Linux image.

== Powered USB Hubs ==
A number of low-cost powered USB hubs are known to have caused problems. Members of the Raspberry Pi forums have reported low power or no power at all in some cases. The following is a list of specific Powered USB Hubs which appear to be fault-free. Please note that these do not take into account powering the Raspberry Pi from the hub, in addition to its peripherals.

If you use a powered hub and the Raspberry Pi PSU together consider powering them from the same power bar with switch, so you can turn them on simultaneously., especially if the HUB tries to feed the Raspberry Pi through their interconnect cable, due to the 100 mA limiting fuse in the Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi will be partially powered which may cause problems (unwanted writes to the SD card).

===Problem USB Hubs===

Please check known workarounds [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list here] before adding to the list

*'''Addon'''
** 7-Port Powered Hub - labelled ADDUH070P - Gives constant Eth0 errors on boot.
*'''Belkin'''
** 7-Port Powered Mobile Hub - device labelled F4U018, packaging labelled F5U701. lsusb reveals it to be two Genesys Logic 4-port hubs based on the GL850G chipset (vendor: 0x05e3 product: 0x0608) ganged together. Yields a lot of "handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" errors and device resets in /var/log/messages. Low speed devices such as keyboards work OK, Wi-Fi/mass storage is unreliable or broken. -- No error messages with the latest kernel, but it is still unstable with mass storage devices. Also, leaks current back to the Raspberry Pi (can be fixed by overtaping GND and +5 V pinouts)
** F4U022 7-Port powered USB hub (powered 5 V, 2.6 A), same as F4U018
** 7-Port Powered Hub - device labled F5U237 Rev.3 - ID 050d:0237 Wired Ethernet fails to connect; gives "DWC OTG HCD URB enqueue failed adding QTD. Error status -4008" Result is same as DUB-H7 below.
** F5U404 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Mobile Hub. Faulty/bad design; Leaks current back up the cable to the Raspberry Pi.
** F5U307 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub (Powered, able to apply power to Raspberry Pi via micro USB from this hub at same time) It work's sometimes. (Works always without powering the Raspberry Pi, haven't tried that)

*'''Dell'''
** Dell U2410 Monitor Built-in 4 Port Hub - Shows up as a pair with 0424:2514 and 0424:2640. Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub. When connecting some devices it kills the Ethernet with "smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: eth0: Failed to read register index 0x0000011X" errors. It did work for a keyboard and webcam. Bluetooth that works connected directly to the Raspberry Pi triggers the error.

*'''DELTACO'''
** 7-Port USB Hub UH-713 Rev 3. This one consists also of two 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUBs connected together. The power supply is rated at 5 V 2 A. It kills Ethernet when X11 is started.

*'''Dynex'''
** 7-Port USB Hub - Does not work in Debian 19-04 image.
** DX-HB7PT 7-Port USB Hub - As per the Gear Head below, it's 2 daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Appears to result in significant slow downs when the USB is under load, such as running the root filesystem from a USB drive.

*'''Dynamode'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub (Silver and black). Feeds power back up the interconnect to the Raspberry Pi causing the power LED to light on the Raspberry Pi if the hub is powered on, but the Raspberry Pi is not. The Raspberry Pi also fails to boot when powered off this hub, with or without the interconnect plugged in. Stops the network from working when connected to the Raspberry Pi after booting the Raspberry Pi - cannot ssh to the Raspberry Pi. Best avoided. :-( Shows up in ''lsusb'' as a pair of ''ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB'' which is interesting. - Confirmed. This hub also appears unable to power an external USB drive using a y-cable as it gives the error -71 message in dmesg (when providing external power to the Raspberry Pi).
** 4-Port High-Speed USB 2.0 Hub (USB-H40-A2.0), came with with a 1 A power supply. Leaks power to the Raspberry Pi through the uplink. Doesn't work with Raspberry Pi, unless the Raspberry Pi is powered by a second power source. This hub is completely generic and I've seen it being sold under different brand names as well. Therefore, a picture is [http://i.imgur.com/BPZ3j.jpg included] for easy identification.

*'''D-Link'''
** 7-Port USB Hub DUB-H7 (Crashes USB stack, including Ethernet, when plugging / using some peripherals). (See note above, it works with some distros and/or with latest firmware)

*'''E-Solution'''
** 4-Port 2 A Supply (Does not detect at all during boot or after boot- no messages) [IC = Alcor Micro Corp (AU6254)]

*'''Fosmon'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub with 1 A Power Supply (Causes interference with other USB devices and sends enough power to light up the Raspberry Pi with it's Micro USB cable unplugged).

*'''Gear Head'''
** UH7250MAC 7-port powered hub. Internally, two daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Causes Ethernet instability when used under very specific circumstances, in X11.
** <strike>UH5200T 4-port powered hub. As of 2012-08-16 Wheezy, if any USB 1.x device (a keyboard, for example) is plugged into this hub, Ethernet stops, and USB interrupts for other devices get dropped (keys repeating forever), etc. Occurs even if power is not attached (not a power leakage problem).</strike> Appears working after a bootloader and/or firmware update on 9/12. Also, turned out to be somewhat more specific to the combination of two particular low-speed devices.

*'''Hama'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 "bus hub", model 78496 (?). Only works for low power devices (card readers?), but it does not work for power hungry devices (HDD and WLAN). It doesn't boot when hub connected to Raspberry Pi. The funniest thing is that Raspberry Pi powers on when I plug in this hub to normal size USB port (not that small dedicated port). idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0608

*'''Kensington'''
** 7-Port Dome Hub model no 1500129 (Possible problems with malfunctioning keyboard, kills mouse when GUI started).

*'''iBall'''
** Piano 423 4-Port USB hub. Listed in lsusb as Genesys Logic. Fails to deliver enough power to connected devices even when using AC power suply.

*'''Inland'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 Cable Hub model no 480426 (Some devices work, some don't, cheap unshielded untwisted wire design)

*'''Logik'''
** LP7HUB11 7-Port USB Hub. (Ethernet failed, slow response, in LXDE. Happened whether or not the hub's independent power supply was connected to the hub.)

*'''Soniq'''
** 4-Port 5 V supply. Model number CUH100. (B). Appears to draw power away from the Raspberry Pi, even when the Raspberry Pi has an isolated power line. Netgear WNA1100 Wi-Fi Adapter (which is known to work in other setups is recognized, but it is unresponsive).

*'''Targus'''
** ACH115EU 7-port powered hub. 5 V 3 A power supply. Arduino communicates with Raspberry Pi when connected directly to Raspberry Pi's USB port, but it hangs as soon as if connected via ACH115. Also sometimes smsc95xx eth0 Failed to read register index 0x00000114 etc. errors in syslog when used.

*'''TCM'''
** Model 234298 s/n T634007737 powered hub. 4 ports plus card reader. 1 A power supply. Model B, Wheezy Raspbian works OK with keyboard/mouse, but there are problems with Wi-Fi no connects. (insufficient power?)

*'''Trust'''
** 10-port USB 2.0 Hub (powered). Prevents Ethernet from being recognised.
** SliZe 7 port USB 2.0 Hub (powered) - Item number 17080 (Barcode 8 713439 170801). Prevents Ethernet from being recognised. Keyboard sends multiple characters.

*'''Unbranded / Multiple Brands'''
** 7-port silver/black hub. Also sold elsewhere under brands such as 'EX-Pro', 'Trixes' and 'Xentra' -- This is ''probably'' due to an inadequate power supply. -- I replaced the terrible power supply with a very good one, kept getting "DEBUG: handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" in dmesg, with no devices plugged in to the hub (with or without the power supply in). Measurements by [[User:TrevorGowen|TrevorGowen]] ([[User talk:TrevorGowen|talk]]) of the power loading behaviour of an example of this type of hub and its supplied PSU are logged [http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/PoweredUSBHubs.html here], together with similar measurements of other devices.

** Periduo-707 Plus (Wireless Keyboard and Mouse) works fine ''most'' of the time. Does suffer from dropouts and glitches though. Usual "drawing too much power from USB" problems show up as well - dropped key presses or constant autorepeats. These can be cured by pulling out and reinserting the dongle in the USB socket. The keyboard sometimes hangs after power on when used with my laptop - it seems to need 30 seconds of non-use before it works fine. Again, remove and insert the dongle cures it. Works fine vi my Benq monitor's USB Hub.

===Problem USB Keyboards===

Note that generally PS/2 keyboards with an USB adapter will not work directly on a Raspberry Pi port, due to the fact that PS/2 keyboards are designed for normal 5 V +-5% range, while USB keyboards must be designed to work with 4.4 Volt, and generally USB devices on the Raspberry Pi may receive less than 4.75 Volt. PS/2 + USB adapter keyboards might work behind a powered hub, which does provide the full 5.0 V. Some of these keyboards work when running the latest Raspbian, but not when using the overclocked XBMC version of Raspbmc, probably due to the overclocking drawing more power away from the rest of the support system devices.

* '''Logitech'''
** Logitech G400 Gaming Mouse - 100% CPU load and laggy mouse cursor when the mouse is moved. MX518 works fine on the same setup, so I suspect it's a polling rate issue.

== USB Wi-Fi Adapters ==

See also: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44703/l/raspberry-pi-wifi-adapter-testing

There is a howto on installing the TL-WN722N adapter [http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals#Wireless:_TP-Link_TL-WN722N_USB_wireless_adapter_.28Debian_6.29 here], which also acts as a guide for installing others too.

===Working USB Wi-Fi Adapters===

These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, other adapters may well work, but it has not yet been tried.

'''Note:''' A Wi-Fi adapter will probably need more power than the Raspberry Pi USB port can provide, especially if
there is a large distance from the Wi-Fi adapter to the Wi-Fi Access Point. Therefore, you may need to plug the Wi-Fi adapter into a powered USB hub.

Tested on Debian Wheezy, with the dongle attached directly to the Raspberry Pi along with the wireless keyboard receiver. Shows up as a Ralink RT5370 device, and no drivers or additional software downloads required. Created wpa.conf, edited 'interfaces' file and restarted the networking. The manufacturer portion of the MAC address (7cdd90) is assigned to "Shenzhen Ogemray Technology Co., Ltd."
** It works without additional software connected directly to a Rev 2 Raspberry Pi, but it stops working after a period of time (3 to 4 hours) with a fully updated Wheezy and all the 'USB workarounds' [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list] in place.

===Problem Bluetooth adapters===
* '''Belkin'''
** Belkin F8T017. Tested with Raspbian 2012-07-15 and bluez installed with apt-get. When dongle is inserted into Pluscom powered USB hub, my remote PuTTY session scrolls incredibly slowly (testing with ls -R to generate text). Suspect network issue. Lots of errors on dmesg too. Raspberry Pi itself is responsive when using directly. On removal of the device everything goes back to normal.
* '''Generic'''
** [http://dx.com/p/mini-bluetooth-v3-0-usb-2-0-dongle-71248 Bluetooth "3.0" Dongle]. Doesn't work reliably - eg. after some time it will hang and the device will need to be reset using fcntl. The device id is 1131:1004 Integrated System Solution Corp. Bluetooth Device.
* Asus USB-BT211
** Shows up as HCI device in Raspbian, but it does not scan or pair.

* '''A-Link'''
** A-Link NA1GU Gigabit USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter
This adapter works, but it (probably) requires a bit of work. The driver for the chipset (Asix AX88178) included with the Raspbian kernel (v 3.1.9+ Aug 7 2012) does '''not''' work. With that driver the device is detected, but it does not seem to be possible to actually put any traffic through it. :-( In order to make it work you need to download the latest driver from [http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=84;71;100&PLine=71 the chipset manufacturer]. The version I used was "Linux kernel 3.x/2.6.x Driver" v4.4.0, released 2012-05-18. Fortunately this is GNU GPLv2 -licenced source code and not a binary blob, so compiling it for the Raspberry Pi is perfectly doable. The hardest part was in fact getting the Linux source code required, because the repositores contained the source for the wrong kernel version. >:-( Fortunately there is [https://www.grendelman.net/wp/compiling-kernel-modules-for-raspbian-raspberry-pi a very useful guide] for how to get the sources from github, and preparing that source so that you can compile modules. Unfortunately you will have to compile the kernel (even if you don't actually install it) - which will take the better part of the day on the Raspberry, but once that's done you can unpack the driver source and just run "make && sudo make install". Reboot and you should have a fully working Ethernet adapter.

The adapter seems to work without a powered USB hub, but according to the specifications it can draw up to 190 mA, so there might be stability issues if additional power is not provided.

===Problem Ethernet adapters===
* Axago
** Axago ADE-X1 10/100 Ethernet Adapter (USB: 9710:7830 driver:mcs7830). Adapter working about 10 minutes without problem, but after that kernel write error message to dmesg and no packet is received. Needed to unplug and plug USB again. Tested with and without powered USB hub.

== USB Sound Cards ==
You will usually want the <code>alsa</code> package for sound. In the Debian image for Raspberry Pi (and possibly other distributions) USB sound cards are prevented from loading as the first sound card, which can be an annoyance if it's the only device you have. To disable this behaviour edit <code>/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf</code> and comment out the last line; <code>options snd-usb-audio index=-2</code> . If you are not user ''pi'' you may need to add your username to the ''audio'' group thus: <code>sudo adduser yourusername audio</code> (user ''pi'' usually belongs to this group anyway).

*GlobalSat
**GlobalSat BU-353 Does not require a powered hub, works fine when directly plugged into the Raspberry Pi. On Raspian, requires the gpsd and gpsd-client packages. For some reason, the gpsd daemon does not always start correctly on boot. You may need to do something like the following to manually restart it: <pre>sudo killall gpsd; sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock</pre>

*Wintec
**WBT-200: No problem on Debian
*Holux
**Holux M-215: Works fine on Arch, uses Silicon Labs CP210x RS232 serial adaptor driver
*Bluenext
**Bluenext BN903S: No problem on Debian image (19-04-2012).

== USB UART and USB to Serial (RS-232) adapters ==
A USB UART adapter is used to access the serial console of the Raspberry Pi from a development host such as a laptop or desktop PC. The USB end connects to the PC and the UART header end connects to the USB. While it is possible to connect the USB end to another Raspberry Pi, this configuration has not been tested unless explicitly mentioned against an individual entry below.

*'''FTDI'''
**FT232 chip based adapters works for some people, but others find it hangs Linux when the port is opened. The module is ftdi_sio.

** FT2232D dual RS232/FIFO works (used in various JTAG devices)

*'''Prolific'''
**PL2303 chip based adaptors works fine on latest Debian tested with ''minicom'' and ''gtkterm''

A USB to Serial (RS-232) adapter is used the other way around, ie. the USB end connects to the Raspberry Pi and the RS-232 end (DSUB-9 or DSUB-25 pin) to the other device which may be another computer, (old) modem or printer, or some electronic test equipment.

*"Best Connectivity" (Possibly also sold under the "Newlink HQ" or "Kenable HQ" labels)
**FG-U1232-PL2 Based upon the Prolific PL2303X chipset and listed by ''lsusb'' as <code>ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port</code>. Appears as <code>/dev/ttyUSB0</code>, and requires the user to be a member of the ''dialout'' group (which ''pi'' is for ''Raspbian Wheezy''). Initially tested using an old RS Datalinker setup in "loopback" mode via ''microcom'' upto 9600 baud, and ''gtkterm'' after installing that from source code. All handshake lines toggled as expected and no characters were lost. Subsequently ''gtkterm'' was used to check bi-directional communication with an ancient brother EP44 electronic typewriter (as a printer/dumb terminal) at 1200 baud. Signal lines were again monitored with the Datalinker.

=== USB RFID Reader ===
*Unbranded 125 kHz EM4100 RFID reader from eBay sellers (< £7), the one with a Windows logo on (easily scratches off for Linux users).
**Initially would not work when plugged in directly to Raspberry Pi. Worked when connected via an unpowered Trust hub. Worked after Raspberry Pi was modified with 10K resistors over the USB polyfuses (warranty invalidated). Probably would work fine with powered hub.
**Sends a 10 digit string to current window or console as if it was a keyboard. Can be captured independently of keyboard using Linux event interface (/dev/input), but the kernel in current distributions does not have CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV selected so kernel rebuild is necessary.
=== JTAG ===

== PS2 / AT to USB Converters ==

* Unbranded active converter known as the "blue cube". Based on the Cypress CY7C63723C 8 bit RISC. Please see http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=PS2-to-USB+adapters for more information.
Note that although the adapter might work, PS/2 keyboards were not designed to be low power USB devices, so they might not meet the requirement to work with considerable lowered supply voltage (4.4 volt) provided by the USB ports of the raspberry PI. These keyboards should work when powered by a powered hub.

'''Tested PS2/AT keybords'''

All above tested with the famous "blue cube" on a powered USB hub.

*IBM Model F (please note requires an additional AT to PS2 converter)
*Dell AT101w
*Northgate Ominikey Ultra T (please note requires an aditonal AT to PS2 converter)

* 04d9:1400 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. PS/2 keyboard + mouse controller
** Working: Ipex RT215KTW PS/2 keyboard
** Not working: HP SK-2502 PS/2 keyboard (gets power, but it does not init - three LEDs remain permanently lit. Keyboard + Holtek converter work on a Linux PC, although this keyboard doesn't work with some native PS/2 ports.)

== Power adapters ==
The Raspberry Pi uses a standard Micro USB (type B) power connector, which runs at 5 V. Generally you can use a MicroUSB to USB cable and then either power the Raspberry Pi directly from your main computers USB ports (if they provide enough power), or by using a USB to Mains adaptor. A number of mobile phones use MicroUSB power cables, and these are compatible with the Raspberry Pi in most cases. Below is a list of power adaptors known to work.

== Display adapters ==
Note that active converter boxes may draw power through the HDMI port, and thus will put an extra load on your PSU, and also increase the current running through the Raspberry Pi's primary input fuse. HDMI ports (and the raspberry PI) are designed so that they deliver a very limited amount of power (50 mA) to the TV/Monitor/display-adapter and much more isn't in theory allowed. In fact there is a diode (D1) in series with the power line which can only handle 200 mA, if the adapter tries to draw much more than that the diode might fail. Therefore only externally powered adapters are to be recommended. Despite this, many people report success with these high powered devices.

===HDMI->DVI-D===
There are three kinds of DVI. There is DVI-D, a digital signal fully compatible with HDMI, so a passive cable can be used. There is DVI-I, which is a connector with both analog pins and digital pins. An HDMI to DVI-D adapter fits in a DVI-I female connector. Finally, there is DVI-A. This a fairly rare connection, but occasionally it will be found on some monitors and is an analog interface, in fact the same as VGA!

Some adapters like Farnell part AK-CBHD03-BK are HDMI to DVI-I, which, while not fitting in a DVI-D monitor, are still compatible. The analog pins simply must be bent.

The HDMI to DVI-D cable provided by Apple with the 2010 Mac Mini worked. It does not appear this adapter can be purchased separately.

Works well, but it's probably the cause of some power loss between the Raspberry Pi and the monitor, causing [http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Interference_visible_on_a_HDMI_or_DVI_monitor this] problem. A setting of config_hdmi_boost='''5''' in /etc/boot solved this. Note that config_hdmi_boost='''4''', as suggested in the troubleshooting guide, helped, but it did not solve the problem completely.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KEIRNG -- "Neewer" HDMI to VGA -- some issues discussed below:
However, according to user "Tom1989" the same Neewer HDMI to VGA adapter burned out BAT54 Schottky diode D1 on the Raspberry Pi and broke its HDMI output: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9819 Serious HDMI Problems. What's that smell? Burning Raspberry!]. On that thread, "mahjongg" suggested the NXP (or equivalent) PMEG2010AET as a high-current replacement for D1. The PMEG2010AET has 1 A max forward current, much greater than the BAT54's 200 mA limit which may be exceeded by your HDMI -> VGA converter. Remember that the converter's current must come from your Raspberry Pi power supply and go through the Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3, so you may get extra voltage drops and/or cause F3 to trip depending on how much current the converter uses. As always with board modifications, YMMV. Also on the "Burning Raspberry!" thread, user "pwinwood" reported the Neewer's current to be 400 mA, which is twice the limit of BAT54 diode D1. "pwinwood" also took the Neewer apart and added its own +5 V connection adapted from a USB cable, which bypasses Raspberry Pi's Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3.

Sadly the IC's on the PCB have all been scrubbed.

Tested against a Philips 170B 1280x1024 LCD monitor, producing a full native resolution image. Not tested against a Component Video TV yet, and audio has yet to be got working.

According to user "Mortimer" -- HDFury1 1080p HDMI to VGA Converter from HDFury.com. I'm not sure the HDFury1 can be got a hold of easily nowadays, I happened to have access to one to try out. HDFury2, 3 and 4 are available as far as I can tell, but it is very pricey compared to the alternatives. HDFury1 was around £80 when we bought one for a project at work. HDFury2 seems to be around £130, 3 and 4 are getting on towards £200 or more. So not to be recommended as a solution unless you happen to have one lying around. I don't believe there is any relationship between the company that produces these and the HDFuryPro I bought for myself (See above). I didn't alter any config settings, just plugged it in. It doesn't work without having its external power supply connected, as it requires 0.4 A, which is too much draw for the 5 V supply available from the HDMI socket on the Raspberry Pi. Its power LED lights, but no picture is produced. In comparison to the HDFuryPro this picture from this device is sharper, but it is not enough to justify the extra cost.
The [[RPi_config.txt|config.txt]] settings used are:

The config.txt for Raspbian (Flatron VGA monitor 1024 * 768):
 hdmi_drive=2
 hdmi_group=2
 hdmi_mode=16
 hdmi_force_hotplug=1
 disable_overscan=0

And another one: http://cgi.ebay.pl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251086464644. It is very cheap, but it works perfectly. No config.txt changes was needed at all. I've booted Raspbian and OpenELEC. Monitor is detected correctly and the optimal resolution is set (Raspbian) or you can change the res in the menu (OpenELEC).
The /opt/vc/bin/tvservice is able to read monitor edid data. I tested the adapter using NEC 72VM 15" LCD. (1280x1024 60 Hz, 1024x768 60 Hz, 640x480 works) The adapter is based on Lontium LT8511A chip, but I was unable to get the specification for it.
The D1 diode is getting very hot though. Most likely the adapter drives more than 200 mA. The standard RS Components 1.2 A USB power supply is able to provide enough power for the Raspberry Pi and the adapter. I'll try to modify the adapter to connect external power to bypass D1.
Marcin.

===DVI-D -> VGA active adapters===
None are currently listed

===Composite->SCART===
SCART adapters (SCART plugs with three RCA connectors in the back), will probably work when used with the yellow RCA plug connected to the Raspberry Pi's RCA video output. Additionally using a splitter cable (3.5 mm jack plug on one end, and red-white RCA plugs on the other end) will probably work when plugged into the red and white (left and right audio channels) of the SCART adapter.

== SD cards ==

The SD card is a key part of the Raspberry Pi; it provides the initial storage for the Operating System and files. Storage can be extended through many types of USB connected peripherals.

When the Raspberry Pi is 'switched on', i.e. connected to a power supply, a special piece of code called the bootloader is executed, which reads more special code from the SD card that is used to start up the Raspberry Pi. If there is no SD card inserted, it will not start. Do NOT push in or pull out an SD card while the Raspberry Pi is connected to the power, as this is likely to corrupt the SD card data (you might get away with it, but it is best not to).

The SD card must be formatted, or written to, in a special way that means the Raspberry Pi can read the data it needs to start properly. If you are new to this check the instructions, or buy a pre-formatted SD card.

One advantage to using an SD card like this is that you can have several SD cards, each with a different operating system, or a different purpose. Simply power off, switch cards, and reconnect the power. You have a different computer to play with.

=== Which SD card? ===

[[File:SD_Card_dimensions.png‎|right|frameless|SD card sizes]]

SD cards come in three physical sizes (see picture). The Raspberry Pi needs the largest one. The miniSD card and the MicrSD card can be used in a Raspberry Pi, but you will need an adapter / holder to fit it.

SD cards come in a range of storage sizes. You need one of type SDHC, but there are other types of SDSC, SDXC and SDIO which will not work in a Raspberry Pi (confirmation needed). The SDHC type comes in memory sizes of up to 32 GB.

There are other properties of SD cards that are not covered here. Read the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital Wikipedia article] for those details.

=== Other SD card content ===

=== Technical Information ===

Note that manufacturers change their designs over time, even as the specs stay the same. (E.g. an ACME 8 GB class 4 card manufactured in 2011 might work, while one manufactured in 2012 might not.)
For this reason, please specify product numbers in the lists below, when possible.

You can also attach the following fields from your card's CID:

===Problem SD cards===

Make sure that you buy your card from a reliable source. There are many cheap Chinese copies of (brand name) SD-Cards on the market, [http://www.petapixel.com/2011/05/20/one-third-of-the-sandisk-memory-cards-on-earth-are-counterfeit/] in addition they are often mislabeled as having greater capacity than they really have. For example they might be sold as being 4 GB, but they are actually 2 GB (or even less).

There were initially issues with most Class 10 SDHC cards, apparently due to a bug in the Broadcom bootloader.[http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/class-10-sd-cards-on-the-production-boards/page-3/#p39181]

This seems to have been fixed in sdhci.c: [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/7e8ae226fe6e95954df6b0dcdde40a53dbbc1a0b] Further feedback will be useful.

If you add an SD card here, please also mention the kernel date and the date you tried it. This allows people to estimate how likely it is that a driver-fix in the kernel has been fixed. (i.e. I think some/most of the cards here work fine now, because a problem in the kernel driver has been fixed).

'''A note about this page: For USB devices, please specify if they required a powered hub'''
==Notes==

19-Apr-2012: Now that the Model B board is shipping, details added should relate to this board and the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads default Debian distribution] unless stated otherwise. A suggested suffix markup scheme is as follows:

* (A) - Relates to model A production board
* (B) - Relates to model B production board
* (!) - Information from alpha and beta board days -- beta board verified peripherals should still apply to production boards for the most part, but the alpha board is fairly different
* No markup - relates to all production boards

''Discuss: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247 http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247]''

If you are adding to a product list it would help clarity if entries are kept/added in alphabetical order.

==Power Usage Notes==
{{Warning|Adding peripherals may increase the loading on the power supply to your board and this, in turn, may affect the voltage presented to the Raspberry Pi. If the Raspberry Pi's supply voltage falls below a certain value (anecdotally stated as around 4.75 V), or it begins to fluctuate, your setup may become unstable. There is a [http://elinux.org/RPi_Hardware#Power Wiki section about this issue] which is worth a read.}}

'''Model B Hardware Revisions and USB Power limits'''
'''Hardware Revision 1.0'''
The original Model B board had current limiting polyfuses which limited the power output of each USB port to approximatly 100 mA. USB devices using more than 100 mA had to be connected via a powered hub. The Raspberry Pi's PSU was chosen with a power budget of 700 mA of which 200 mA were assigned to the USB ports, so the Raspberry Pi's (poly)fuses were designed only for devices up to 100 mA, and typical 140 mA polyfuses will have as much as 0.6 volt across them when drawing currents near the 100 mA limit. As a consequence the USB ports are only directly suitable for "single current unit" USB devices which, according to USB specifications, are designed to work with just 4.4 Volt. Not only do non single current unit devices draw more current (causing greater Voltage drops, and greater stress on the fuses), they also might require 4.75 Volt to work.

'''Model B Hardware Revision 2.0 and Revision 1.0 with ECN0001 change'''
This had the polyfuses removed, removing the 100 mA current limitation for each USB port (but leaving the main fuse F3 intact). Users should still ensure their power supply can power the Raspberry Pi and the USB peripherals. Revision 2.0 was released in August 2012.

==Linux Driver Issues==
Shortly after the Raspberry Pi was released it was confirmed that there were a number of issues with the Linux USB driver for the SMSC95xx chip. These included problems with USB 1.x peripherals that use split transactions, a fixed number of channels (causing problems with Kinect) and the way the ARM processor handles the SMSC95xx interrupts. [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12097&start=76] [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=5249&start=44]
A large number of fixes were included in the 2012-08-19-Wheezy-raspbian Linux image.

== Powered USB Hubs ==
A number of low-cost powered USB hubs are known to have caused problems. Members of the Raspberry Pi forums have reported low power or no power at all in some cases. The following is a list of specific Powered USB Hubs which appear to be fault-free. Please note that these do not take into account powering the Raspberry Pi from the hub, in addition to its peripherals.

If you use a powered hub and the Raspberry Pi PSU together consider powering them from the same power bar with switch, so you can turn them on simultaneously., especially if the HUB tries to feed the Raspberry Pi through their interconnect cable, due to the 100 mA limiting fuse in the Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi will be partially powered which may cause problems (unwanted writes to the SD card).

*'''Acme'''
** USB 2.0 hub 4 port ([http://www.acme.eu/en-us/product/019188 ACME]) Based on NEC μPD720114 USB2.0 Hub Controller USB ID 0409:005a '''NOTE!''' It is bus-powered hub, but it is very cheap and small and works after a small modding: on USB-hub board you have 4 holes: V, D+, D- and GND. Connect GND, D+ and D- to the Raspberry Pi, and additionally connect GND and +5 V from power supply to the same holes on USB-hub GND and V. Now there is common contacts: GND, D+ and D- between Raspberry Pi and hub needed to work, and additional power for USB devices, connected to the hub. Tested on my Raspberry Pi.

===Problem USB Hubs===

Please check known workarounds [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list here] before adding to the list

*'''Addon'''
** 7-Port Powered Hub - labelled ADDUH070P - Gives constant Eth0 errors on boot.
*'''Belkin'''
** 7-Port Powered Mobile Hub - device labelled F4U018, packaging labelled F5U701. lsusb reveals it to be two Genesys Logic 4-port hubs based on the GL850G chipset (vendor: 0x05e3 product: 0x0608) ganged together. Yields a lot of "handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" errors and device resets in /var/log/messages. Low speed devices such as keyboards work OK, Wi-Fi/mass storage is unreliable or broken. -- No error messages with the latest kernel, but it is still unstable with mass storage devices. Also, leaks current back to the Raspberry Pi (can be fixed by overtaping GND and +5 V pinouts)
** F4U022 7-Port powered USB hub (powered 5 V, 2.6 A), same as F4U018
** 7-Port Powered Hub - device labled F5U237 Rev.3 - ID 050d:0237 Wired Ethernet fails to connect; gives "DWC OTG HCD URB enqueue failed adding QTD. Error status -4008" Result is same as DUB-H7 below.
** F5U404 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Mobile Hub. Faulty/bad design; Leaks current back up the cable to the Raspberry Pi.
** F5U307 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub (Powered, able to apply power to Raspberry Pi via micro USB from this hub at same time) It work's sometimes. (Works always without powering the Raspberry Pi, haven't tried that)

*'''Dell'''
** Dell U2410 Monitor Built-in 4 Port Hub - Shows up as a pair with 0424:2514 and 0424:2640. Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub. When connecting some devices it kills the Ethernet with "smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: eth0: Failed to read register index 0x0000011X" errors. It did work for a keyboard and webcam. Bluetooth that works connected directly to the Raspberry Pi triggers the error.

*'''DELTACO'''
** 7-Port USB Hub UH-713 Rev 3. This one consists also of two 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUBs connected together. The power supply is rated at 5 V 2 A. It kills Ethernet when X11 is started.

*'''Dynex'''
** 7-Port USB Hub - Does not work in Debian 19-04 image.
** DX-HB7PT 7-Port USB Hub - As per the Gear Head below, it's 2 daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Appears to result in significant slow downs when the USB is under load, such as running the root filesystem from a USB drive.

*'''Dynamode'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub (Silver and black). Feeds power back up the interconnect to the Raspberry Pi causing the power LED to light on the Raspberry Pi if the hub is powered on, but the Raspberry Pi is not. The Raspberry Pi also fails to boot when powered off this hub, with or without the interconnect plugged in. Stops the network from working when connected to the Raspberry Pi after booting the Raspberry Pi - cannot ssh to the Raspberry Pi. Best avoided. :-( Shows up in ''lsusb'' as a pair of ''ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB'' which is interesting. - Confirmed. This hub also appears unable to power an external USB drive using a y-cable as it gives the error -71 message in dmesg (when providing external power to the Raspberry Pi).
** 4-Port High-Speed USB 2.0 Hub (USB-H40-A2.0), came with with a 1 A power supply. Leaks power to the Raspberry Pi through the uplink. Doesn't work with Raspberry Pi, unless the Raspberry Pi is powered by a second power source. This hub is completely generic and I've seen it being sold under different brand names as well. Therefore, a picture is [http://i.imgur.com/BPZ3j.jpg included] for easy identification.

*'''D-Link'''
** 7-Port USB Hub DUB-H7 (Crashes USB stack, including Ethernet, when plugging / using some peripherals). (See note above, it works with some distros and/or with latest firmware)

*'''E-Solution'''
** 4-Port 2 A Supply (Does not detect at all during boot or after boot- no messages) [IC = Alcor Micro Corp (AU6254)]

*'''Fosmon'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub with 1 A Power Supply (Causes interference with other USB devices and sends enough power to light up the Raspberry Pi with it's Micro USB cable unplugged).

*'''Gear Head'''
** UH7250MAC 7-port powered hub. Internally, two daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Causes Ethernet instability when used under very specific circumstances, in X11.
** <strike>UH5200T 4-port powered hub. As of 2012-08-16 Wheezy, if any USB 1.x device (a keyboard, for example) is plugged into this hub, Ethernet stops, and USB interrupts for other devices get dropped (keys repeating forever), etc. Occurs even if power is not attached (not a power leakage problem).</strike> Appears working after a bootloader and/or firmware update on 9/12. Also, turned out to be somewhat more specific to the combination of two particular low-speed devices.

*'''Hama'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 "bus hub", model 78496 (?). Only works for low power devices (card readers?), but it does not work for power hungry devices (HDD and WLAN). It doesn't boot when hub connected to Raspberry Pi. The funniest thing is that Raspberry Pi powers on when I plug in this hub to normal size USB port (not that small dedicated port). idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0608

*'''Kensington'''
** 7-Port Dome Hub model no 1500129 (Possible problems with malfunctioning keyboard, kills mouse when GUI started).

*'''iBall'''
** Piano 423 4-Port USB hub. Listed in lsusb as Genesys Logic. Fails to deliver enough power to connected devices even when using AC power suply.

*'''Inland'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 Cable Hub model no 480426 (Some devices work, some don't, cheap unshielded untwisted wire design)

*'''Logik'''
** LP7HUB11 7-Port USB Hub. (Ethernet failed, slow response, in LXDE. Happened whether or not the hub's independent power supply was connected to the hub.)

*'''Soniq'''
** 4-Port 5 V supply. Model number CUH100. (B). Appears to draw power away from the Raspberry Pi, even when the Raspberry Pi has an isolated power line. Netgear WNA1100 Wi-Fi Adapter (which is known to work in other setups is recognized, but it is unresponsive).

*'''Targus'''
** ACH115EU 7-port powered hub. 5 V 3 A power supply. Arduino communicates with Raspberry Pi when connected directly to Raspberry Pi's USB port, but it hangs as soon as if connected via ACH115. Also sometimes smsc95xx eth0 Failed to read register index 0x00000114 etc. errors in syslog when used.

*'''TCM'''
** Model 234298 s/n T634007737 powered hub. 4 ports plus card reader. 1 A power supply. Model B, Wheezy Raspbian works OK with keyboard/mouse, but there are problems with Wi-Fi no connects. (insufficient power?)

*'''Trust'''
** 10-port USB 2.0 Hub (powered). Prevents Ethernet from being recognised.
** SliZe 7 port USB 2.0 Hub (powered) - Item number 17080 (Barcode 8 713439 170801). Prevents Ethernet from being recognised. Keyboard sends multiple characters.

*'''Unbranded / Multiple Brands'''
** 7-port silver/black hub. Also sold elsewhere under brands such as 'EX-Pro', 'Trixes' and 'Xentra' -- This is ''probably'' due to an inadequate power supply. -- I replaced the terrible power supply with a very good one, kept getting "DEBUG: handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" in dmesg, with no devices plugged in to the hub (with or without the power supply in). Measurements by [[User:TrevorGowen|TrevorGowen]] ([[User talk:TrevorGowen|talk]]) of the power loading behaviour of an example of this type of hub and its supplied PSU are logged [http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/PoweredUSBHubs.html here], together with similar measurements of other devices.

Usual "drawing too much power from USB" problems show up as well - dropped key presses or constant autorepeats. These can be cured by pulling out and reinserting the dongle in the USB socket. The keyboard sometimes hangs after power on when used with my laptop - it seems to need 30 seconds of non-use before it works fine. Again, remove and insert the dongle cures it. Works fine vi my Benq monitor's USB Hub.

===Problem USB Keyboards===

Note that generally PS/2 keyboards with an USB adapter will not work directly on a Raspberry Pi port, due to the fact that PS/2 keyboards are designed for normal 5 V +-5% range, while USB keyboards must be designed to work with 4.4 Volt, and generally USB devices on the Raspberry Pi may receive less than 4.75 Volt. PS/2 + USB adapter keyboards might work behind a powered hub, which does provide the full 5.0 V. Some of these keyboards work when running the latest Raspbian, but not when using the overclocked XBMC version of Raspbmc, probably due to the overclocking drawing more power away from the rest of the support system devices.

[http://tech2.in.com/reviews/mice/logitech-g400-is-it-a-worthy-successor/231012 this] says the mouse is 1000 Hz out of the box, whereas the 518 is only 125 Hz. Solution found: add usbhid.mousepoll=8 to the kernel commandline.

There is a howto on installing the TL-WN722N adapter [http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals#Wireless:_TP-Link_TL-WN722N_USB_wireless_adapter_.28Debian_6.29 here], which also acts as a guide for installing others too.

===Working USB Wi-Fi Adapters===

These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, other adapters may well work, but it has not yet been tried.

'''Note:''' A Wi-Fi adapter will probably need more power than the Raspberry Pi USB port can provide, especially if
there is a large distance from the Wi-Fi adapter to the Wi-Fi Access Point. Therefore, you may need to plug the Wi-Fi adapter into a powered USB hub.

Tested on Debian Wheezy, with the dongle attached directly to the Raspberry Pi along with the wireless keyboard receiver. Shows up as a Ralink RT5370 device, and no drivers or additional software downloads required. Created wpa.conf, edited 'interfaces' file and restarted the networking. The manufacturer portion of the MAC address (7cdd90) is assigned to "Shenzhen Ogemray Technology Co., Ltd."
** It works without additional software connected directly to a Rev 2 Raspberry Pi, but it stops working after a period of time (3 to 4 hours) with a fully updated Wheezy and all the 'USB workarounds' [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list] in place.

===Problem USB Wi-Fi Adapters===

These adapters were tested and found to have issues the Raspberry Pi. Note [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=6928] as a possible solution/explanation for errors while running LXDE.

* '''Alfa'''
** AWUS036NHA (Vendor ID: 0cf3, Product ID: 9271) - Tested with Raspbian. Works fine if connected after boot. Kills boot process if previously attached. [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=16809&p=169469#p169469 Details here.]

* '''EDIMAX'''

Tested both on builtin USB and on powered USB hub. There are other RiiTek Bluetooth (and non-Bluetooth wireless) devices on the working list. Bluetooth adapter shows up in lsusb as "0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio" - this is notable as most other sources of this chipset do not seem to be available in the US.
* D-Link DBT-122, with ID 07d1:f101, using a Broadcom chip
** http://www.element14.com/community/message/58288

===Problem Bluetooth adapters===
* '''Belkin'''
** Belkin F8T017. Tested with Raspbian 2012-07-15 and bluez installed with apt-get. When dongle is inserted into Pluscom powered USB hub, my remote PuTTY session scrolls incredibly slowly (testing with ls -R to generate text). Suspect network issue. Lots of errors on dmesg too. Raspberry Pi itself is responsive when using directly. On removal of the device everything goes back to normal.
* '''Generic'''

* '''Edimax'''
** Edimax EU-4230 USB2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter with 3 port USB hub. Works out of the box. Needs its own power source.
* '''D-Link'''
** D-Link DUB-E100 Fast Ethernet USB 2.0 Adapter - works out of the box, requires own power supply (from powered USB hub)
* '''Sitecom'''
** Sitecom LN-030 V2 detected as ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter works out of the box. Doesn't seem to require any extra power supply.
* '''A-Link'''
** A-Link NA1GU Gigabit USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter
This adapter works, but it (probably) requires a bit of work. The driver for the chipset (Asix AX88178) included with the Raspbian kernel (v 3.1.9+ Aug 7 2012) does '''not''' work. With that driver the device is detected, but it does not seem to be possible to actually put any traffic through it. :-( In order to make it work you need to download the latest driver from [http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=84;71;100&PLine=71 the chipset manufacturer]. The version I used was "Linux kernel 3.x/2.6.x Driver" v4.4.0, released 2012-05-18. Fortunately this is GNU GPLv2 -licenced source code and not a binary blob, so compiling it for the Raspberry Pi is perfectly doable. The hardest part was in fact getting the Linux source code required, because the repositores contained the source for the wrong kernel version. >:-( Fortunately there is [https://www.grendelman.net/wp/compiling-kernel-modules-for-raspbian-raspberry-pi a very useful guide] for how to get the sources from github, and preparing that source so that you can compile modules. Unfortunately you will have to compile the kernel (even if you don't actually install it) - which will take the better part of the day on the Raspberry, but once that's done you can unpack the driver source and just run "make && sudo make install". Reboot and you should have a fully working Ethernet adapter.

The adapter seems to work without a powered USB hub, but according to the specifications it can draw up to 190 mA, so there might be stability issues if additional power is not provided.

===Problem Ethernet adapters===
* Axago
** Axago ADE-X1 10/100 Ethernet Adapter (USB: 9710:7830 driver:mcs7830). Adapter working about 10 minutes without problem, but after that kernel write error message to dmesg and no packet is received. Needed to unplug and plug USB again. Tested with and without powered USB hub.

== USB Sound Cards ==
You will usually want the <code>alsa</code> package for sound. In the Debian image for Raspberry Pi (and possibly other distributions) USB sound cards are prevented from loading as the first sound card, which can be an annoyance if it's the only device you have. To disable this behaviour edit <code>/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf</code> and comment out the last line; <code>options snd-usb-audio index=-2</code> . If you are not user ''pi'' you may need to add your username to the ''audio'' group thus: <code>sudo adduser yourusername audio</code> (user ''pi'' usually belongs to this group anyway).

*'''Logitech'''
**Webcam Pro 9000 - Has issues capturing images at higher than default resolutions (using motion - Arch and Debian).
**Webcam Pro 4000 - It uses pwc driver which does not work. Maybe it's because of general Raspberry Pi USB bug.

*'''Microsoft'''

== USB GPS devices ==
*Royaltek
**Royaltek RGM 2000 SiRF2 using the included serial (TTL) to USB - converter. That uses a Profilic pl2303-chip so you'll need to compile the module or the kernel manually
*Garmin

*GlobalSat
**GlobalSat BU-353 Does not require a powered hub, works fine when directly plugged into the Raspberry Pi. On Raspian, requires the gpsd and gpsd-client packages. For some reason, the gpsd daemon does not always start correctly on boot. You may need to do something like the following to manually restart it: <pre>sudo killall gpsd; sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock</pre>

*Wintec
**WBT-200: No problem on Debian
*Holux
**Holux M-215: Works fine on Arch, uses Silicon Labs CP210x RS232 serial adaptor driver
*Bluenext
**Bluenext BN903S: No problem on Debian image (19-04-2012).

== USB UART and USB to Serial (RS-232) adapters ==
A USB UART adapter is used to access the serial console of the Raspberry Pi from a development host such as a laptop or desktop PC. The USB end connects to the PC and the UART header end connects to the USB. While it is possible to connect the USB end to another Raspberry Pi, this configuration has not been tested unless explicitly mentioned against an individual entry below.

*'''FTDI'''
**FT232 chip based adapters works for some people, but others find it hangs Linux when the port is opened. The module is ftdi_sio.

** FT2232D dual RS232/FIFO works (used in various JTAG devices)

*'''Prolific'''
**PL2303 chip based adaptors works fine on latest Debian tested with ''minicom'' and ''gtkterm''

A USB to Serial (RS-232) adapter is used the other way around, ie. the USB end connects to the Raspberry Pi and the RS-232 end (DSUB-9 or DSUB-25 pin) to the other device which may be another computer, (old) modem or printer, or some electronic test equipment.

*"Best Connectivity" (Possibly also sold under the "Newlink HQ" or "Kenable HQ" labels)
**FG-U1232-PL2 Based upon the Prolific PL2303X chipset and listed by ''lsusb'' as <code>ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port</code>. Appears as <code>/dev/ttyUSB0</code>, and requires the user to be a member of the ''dialout'' group (which ''pi'' is for ''Raspbian Wheezy''). Initially tested using an old RS Datalinker setup in "loopback" mode via ''microcom'' upto 9600 baud, and ''gtkterm'' after installing that from source code. All handshake lines toggled as expected and no characters were lost. Subsequently ''gtkterm'' was used to check bi-directional communication with an ancient brother EP44 electronic typewriter (as a printer/dumb terminal) at 1200 baud. Signal lines were again monitored with the Datalinker.

== PS2 / AT to USB Converters ==

* Unbranded active converter known as the "blue cube". Based on the Cypress CY7C63723C 8 bit RISC. Please see http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=PS2-to-USB+adapters for more information.
Note that although the adapter might work, PS/2 keyboards were not designed to be low power USB devices, so they might not meet the requirement to work with considerable lowered supply voltage (4.4 volt) provided by the USB ports of the raspberry PI. These keyboards should work when powered by a powered hub.

'''Tested PS2/AT keybords'''

All above tested with the famous "blue cube" on a powered USB hub.

*IBM Model F (please note requires an additional AT to PS2 converter)
*Dell AT101w
*Northgate Ominikey Ultra T (please note requires an aditonal AT to PS2 converter)

* 04d9:1400 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. PS/2 keyboard + mouse controller
** Working: Ipex RT215KTW PS/2 keyboard
** Not working: HP SK-2502 PS/2 keyboard (gets power, but it does not init - three LEDs remain permanently lit. Keyboard + Holtek converter work on a Linux PC, although this keyboard doesn't work with some native PS/2 ports.)

== Power adapters ==
The Raspberry Pi uses a standard Micro USB (type B) power connector, which runs at 5 V. Generally you can use a MicroUSB to USB cable and then either power the Raspberry Pi directly from your main computers USB ports (if they provide enough power), or by using a USB to Mains adaptor. A number of mobile phones use MicroUSB power cables, and these are compatible with the Raspberry Pi in most cases. Below is a list of power adaptors known to work.

== Display adapters ==
Note that active converter boxes may draw power through the HDMI port, and thus will put an extra load on your PSU, and also increase the current running through the Raspberry Pi's primary input fuse. HDMI ports (and the raspberry PI) are designed so that they deliver a very limited amount of power (50 mA) to the TV/Monitor/display-adapter and much more isn't in theory allowed. In fact there is a diode (D1) in series with the power line which can only handle 200 mA, if the adapter tries to draw much more than that the diode might fail. Therefore only externally powered adapters are to be recommended. Despite this, many people report success with these high powered devices.

===HDMI->DVI-D===
There are three kinds of DVI. There is DVI-D, a digital signal fully compatible with HDMI, so a passive cable can be used. There is DVI-I, which is a connector with both analog pins and digital pins. An HDMI to DVI-D adapter fits in a DVI-I female connector. Finally, there is DVI-A. This a fairly rare connection, but occasionally it will be found on some monitors and is an analog interface, in fact the same as VGA!

Some adapters like Farnell part AK-CBHD03-BK are HDMI to DVI-I, which, while not fitting in a DVI-D monitor, are still compatible. The analog pins simply must be bent.

The HDMI to DVI-D cable provided by Apple with the 2010 Mac Mini worked. It does not appear this adapter can be purchased separately.

Works well, but it's probably the cause of some power loss between the Raspberry Pi and the monitor, causing [http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Interference_visible_on_a_HDMI_or_DVI_monitor this] problem. A setting of config_hdmi_boost='''5''' in /etc/boot solved this. Note that config_hdmi_boost='''4''', as suggested in the troubleshooting guide, helped, but it did not solve the problem completely.

===HDMI->VGA converter boxes===
Most will require use [[RPi_config.txt]]. Start off with hdmi_safe=1.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KEIRNG -- "Neewer" HDMI to VGA -- some issues discussed below:
However, according to user "Tom1989" the same Neewer HDMI to VGA adapter burned out BAT54 Schottky diode D1 on the Raspberry Pi and broke its HDMI output: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9819 Serious HDMI Problems. What's that smell? Burning Raspberry!]. On that thread, "mahjongg" suggested the NXP (or equivalent) PMEG2010AET as a high-current replacement for D1. The PMEG2010AET has 1 A max forward current, much greater than the BAT54's 200 mA limit which may be exceeded by your HDMI -> VGA converter. Remember that the converter's current must come from your Raspberry Pi power supply and go through the Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3, so you may get extra voltage drops and/or cause F3 to trip depending on how much current the converter uses. As always with board modifications, YMMV. Also on the "Burning Raspberry!" thread, user "pwinwood" reported the Neewer's current to be 400 mA, which is twice the limit of BAT54 diode D1. "pwinwood" also took the Neewer apart and added its own +5 V connection adapted from a USB cable, which bypasses Raspberry Pi's Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3.

According to user "Mortimer" -- HDFury1 1080p HDMI to VGA Converter from HDFury.com. I'm not sure the HDFury1 can be got a hold of easily nowadays, I happened to have access to one to try out. HDFury2, 3 and 4 are available as far as I can tell, but it is very pricey compared to the alternatives. HDFury1 was around £80 when we bought one for a project at work. HDFury2 seems to be around £130, 3 and 4 are getting on towards £200 or more. So not to be recommended as a solution unless you happen to have one lying around. I don't believe there is any relationship between the company that produces these and the HDFuryPro I bought for myself (See above). I didn't alter any config settings, just plugged it in. It doesn't work without having its external power supply connected, as it requires 0.4 A, which is too much draw for the 5 V supply available from the HDMI socket on the Raspberry Pi. Its power LED lights, but no picture is produced. In comparison to the HDFuryPro this picture from this device is sharper, but it is not enough to justify the extra cost.
The [[RPi_config.txt|config.txt]] settings used are:

Here It is another option: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-v1-4-male-to-vga-female-converter-adapter-cable-white-15cm-130458, is cheap (it's free shipping from china) and works perfectly, I tested it with an Acer VGA monitor (AL1511), without no change in my XBMC distribution.
The config.txt for Raspbian (Flatron VGA monitor 1024 * 768):
 hdmi_drive=2
 hdmi_group=2
 hdmi_mode=16
 hdmi_force_hotplug=1
 disable_overscan=0

And another one: http://cgi.ebay.pl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251086464644. It is very cheap, but it works perfectly. No config.txt changes was needed at all. I've booted Raspbian and OpenELEC. Monitor is detected correctly and the optimal resolution is set (Raspbian) or you can change the res in the menu (OpenELEC).
The /opt/vc/bin/tvservice is able to read monitor edid data. I tested the adapter using NEC 72VM 15" LCD. (1280x1024 60 Hz, 1024x768 60 Hz, 640x480 works) The adapter is based on Lontium LT8511A chip, but I was unable to get the specification for it.
The D1 diode is getting very hot though. Most likely the adapter drives more than 200 mA. The standard RS Components 1.2 A USB power supply is able to provide enough power for the Raspberry Pi and the adapter. I'll try to modify the adapter to connect external power to bypass D1.
Marcin.

===DVI-D -> VGA active adapters===
None are currently listed

===Composite->SCART===
SCART adapters (SCART plugs with three RCA connectors in the back), will probably work when used with the yellow RCA plug connected to the Raspberry Pi's RCA video output. Additionally using a splitter cable (3.5 mm jack plug on one end, and red-white RCA plugs on the other end) will probably work when plugged into the red and white (left and right audio channels) of the SCART adapter.

The SD card is a key part of the Raspberry Pi; it provides the initial storage for the Operating System and files. Storage can be extended through many types of USB connected peripherals.

When the Raspberry Pi is 'switched on', i.e. connected to a power supply, a special piece of code called the bootloader is executed, which reads more special code from the SD card that is used to start up the Raspberry Pi. If there is no SD card inserted, it will not start. Do NOT push in or pull out an SD card while the Raspberry Pi is connected to the power, as this is likely to corrupt the SD card data (you might get away with it, but it is best not to).

The SD card must be formatted, or written to, in a special way that means the Raspberry Pi can read the data it needs to start properly. If you are new to this check the instructions, or buy a pre-formatted SD card.

One advantage to using an SD card like this is that you can have several SD cards, each with a different operating system, or a different purpose. Simply power off, switch cards, and reconnect the power. You have a different computer to play with.

=== Which SD card? ===

[[File:SD_Card_dimensions.png‎|right|frameless|SD card sizes]]

SD cards come in three physical sizes (see picture). The Raspberry Pi needs the largest one. The miniSD card and the MicrSD card can be used in a Raspberry Pi, but you will need an adapter / holder to fit it.

SD cards come in a range of storage sizes. You need one of type SDHC, but there are other types of SDSC, SDXC and SDIO which will not work in a Raspberry Pi (confirmation needed). The SDHC type comes in memory sizes of up to 32 GB.

There are other properties of SD cards that are not covered here. Read the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital Wikipedia article] for those details.

=== Technical Information ===

Note that manufacturers change their designs over time, even as the specs stay the same. (E.g. an ACME 8 GB class 4 card manufactured in 2011 might work, while one manufactured in 2012 might not.)
For this reason, please specify product numbers in the lists below, when possible.

You can also attach the following fields from your card's CID:
<pre>
cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc?/mmc?:*
echo "man:$(cat manfid) oem:$(cat oemid) name:$(cat name) hwrev:$(cat hwrev) fwrev:$(cat fwrev)"
</pre>

===Problem SD cards===

Make sure that you buy your card from a reliable source. There are many cheap Chinese copies of (brand name) SD-Cards on the market, [http://www.petapixel.com/2011/05/20/one-third-of-the-sandisk-memory-cards-on-earth-are-counterfeit/] in addition they are often mislabeled as having greater capacity than they really have. For example they might be sold as being 4 GB, but they are actually 2 GB (or even less).

There were initially issues with most Class 10 SDHC cards, apparently due to a bug in the Broadcom bootloader.[http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/class-10-sd-cards-on-the-production-boards/page-3/#p39181]

This seems to have been fixed in sdhci.c: [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/7e8ae226fe6e95954df6b0dcdde40a53dbbc1a0b] Further feedback will be useful.

If you add an SD card here, please also mention the kernel date and the date you tried it. This allows people to estimate how likely it is that a driver-fix in the kernel has been fixed. (i.e. I think some/most of the cards here work fine now, because a problem in the kernel driver has been fixed).

Mortense: /* Reference section blues */ new section

I've tidied this page up as it was looking very unorganised and messy. Each section only needs a 'working' and 'problematic' sub-section. The SD card section had a 'works but...', that isn't really needed. The card either works or it has a problem, there is no in-between. There are going to be a lot of cases of unbranded peripherals, so it may also be an idea to start using notes on all items pointing to their pages on somewhere like Amazon, who is likely to continue to stock the items for a longer time than the likes of, say eBuyer or eBay. --[[User:Rmwebs|Rmwebs]] 20:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

== SD cards: Qualification of 'works' ==

Is it worth putting testing guidelines in here, something along the lines of:

1. Install debian image, ensure that system boots to desktop with n seconds
2. Check /var/log for any IO errors
3. Run dd if=/dev/zero of=~/text.zero bs=1M count=512 and record write speed (MB/s)
4. Check with other distros

I say this as it took me a while to work out that my card was causing problems - I'd just put it down to the speed of the Pi that I'd not used before. A lot of other people may be in the same boat...

== USB Hubs with / without back-feeding ==

Some people specifically looking for a hub that does / doesn't back feed. Although some have a comment next to them stating that they "can power the pi through the USB" there is no consistent way to find out whether it is back-feeding or not. I suggest we add a consistent code that can be appended to each entry which indicates whether they back feed or not. Those without one of the codes are considered unknown.

Thoughts?

== USB Devices working OK without Hub, but being naughty when plugged into a Hub ==

I recently added the detail of my flashy Asda keyboard onto the page, I noted underneath that this device doesn't work well when plugged into the hub I have - Newlink 4-USB.

Do you think it might be a good idea to have a section where combinations of devices seem to affect each other?

[[User:Cutmore32|Cutmore32]] 18:50, 27 May 2012 (BST)

Here's another combination problem report: I got the Linksys WUSB100 working per the brucalipto instructions. It worked in either Pi socket or on a powered Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 hub, but not when I added anything else. Other devices where an HP optical mouse 046d:c016 and Apple G4 keyboard 05ac:1002. Keyboard & mouse worked great on the powered hub but not with WUSB100 sharing the hub or in the other Pi socket. The hub uses a 5V2A ps, the Pi itself was running on a 5V1A iPhone ps. Will test with a second powered hub & report back. This is running on Raspbian pisces image. I generally got 2 kinds of errors, either one would start filling the syslog.
phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x102c with error -71.

hub 1-1.3:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)

''Update'': Replacing the Apple keyboard(w/hub) with a non-hub keyboard solved the problem.

== D-Link DUB-H4 powering RPi ==

I have the new black D-Link DUB-H4 (P/N: EUBH4EB......CE). This one is not capable of powering the RPi in the "high power port". It is only working if you use a Y cable between the "high power port" and a regular port.

I don't know if thats relevant so I am writing this here.

== USB Webcams ==
What would be the simplest way to check, whether a webcam is working? I have an HP HD-4110 camera, and am trying to make it to work. I am running debian wheezy, upgraded to the latest F/W, etc. Camera is recognized (dmesg and /dev/video0 is there), but cannot make it to work. I am trying to use "motion -n"; however, errors are reported with respect to VIDIOC_DQBUF and VIDIOC_QBUF, and /dev/video0 is no more (after trying motion). I tried to install Cheese, but apt-get refuses to install it (I tried to recurse needed files, but at the end failed as well).

Possibly, either a link to a relevant place, or a short description what to do to make a quick test for a more troublesome devices would help? On the forum, people are trying different distributions to get webcams working, but mostly they report problems.

== problem power adapters ==

Added a problem power adapters section (and one item). Since I've got one, it seemed like a good time to do this. :)

== SD Cards ==

i've reworked the sd card section and made a [[User:83a/SD_Cards|Table]]. so far everything is automated. no human checked the data, so it could be incorrect. if you like it, i will check the data and replace the current list. --[[User:83a|83a]] 15:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

== Composite->VGA converter boxes ==

The mentioned extron dvs 204 is discontinued and seems to cost at least $75 on ebay. Shall I add these details. Any one have an alternative? --[[User:Darkcity|Darkcity]] 11:33, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

== Page is unholy big ==

Searching this page for compatible SD cards is an absolute bear because the same manufacturers are listed in other sections of the page. I'm thinking perhaps this page should be split up into separate pages, one per technology area, e.g. an SD card list, a USB device list, etc. Before I do something that radical, I thought I'd ask for comments. Yea, or nay?

[[User:Dgatwood|Dgatwood]]

I agree the page is huge, I'm working currently to get rid of some of the disorganization with the hubs using tables, also planning to do the same for the SD Card list. But ultimately we need to split some of this stuff up. Perhaps a hardware "Portal" that lists the different types of Peripherals, then a subsection for each peripheral giving a brief description of said peripheral and a link to the Verified Page. That or we can toss the lists into collapsible tables, which should make it more manageable. [[User:GabrialDestruir|GabrialDestruir]] ([[User talk:GabrialDestruir|talk]])

I have a partially complete SD Card reorganisation in progress. I plan to remove the SD Card sections into a separate page. The SD Card is not a peripheral, but is a key part of the RPi. [[User:Simon Small|SimonSmall]] ([[User talk:Simon Small|talk]]) 23:15, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Reference section blues ==

The reference section seems to be messed up (also in the [http://elinux.org/index.php?title=RPi_VerifiedPeripherals&oldid=196172 2012-11-29 version]). --[[User:Mortense|Mortense]] ([[User talk:Mortense|talk]]) 21:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

'''A note about this page: For USB devices, please specify if they required a powered hub'''
==Notes==

19-Apr-2012: Now that the Model B board is shipping, details added should relate to this board and the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads default Debian distribution] unless stated otherwise. A suggested suffix markup scheme is as follows:

* (A) - Relates to model A production board
* (B) - Relates to model B production board
* (!) - Information from alpha and beta board days -- beta board verified peripherals should still apply to production boards for the most part, but the alpha board is fairly different
* No markup - relates to all production boards

''Discuss: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247 http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=247]''

If you are adding to a product list it would help clarity if entries are kept/added in alphabetical order.

==Power Usage Notes==
{{Warning|Adding peripherals may increase the loading on the power supply to your board and this, in turn, may affect the voltage presented to the Raspberry Pi. If the Raspberry Pi's supply voltage falls below a certain value (anecdotally stated as around 4.75 V), or it begins to fluctuate, your setup may become unstable. There is a [http://elinux.org/RPi_Hardware#Power Wiki section about this issue] which is worth a read.}}

'''Model B Hardware Revisions and USB Power limits'''
'''Hardware Revision 1.0'''
The original Model B board had current limiting polyfuses which limited the power output of each USB port to approximatly 100 mA. USB devices using more than 100 mA had to be connected via a powered hub. The Raspberry Pi's PSU was chosen with a power budget of 700 mA of which 200 mA were assigned to the USB ports, so the Raspberry Pi's (poly)fuses were designed only for devices up to 100 mA, and typical 140 mA polyfuses will have as much as 0.6 volt across them when drawing currents near the 100 mA limit. As a consequence the USB ports are only directly suitable for "single current unit" USB devices which, according to USB specifications, are designed to work with just 4.4 Volt. Not only do non single current unit devices draw more current (causing greater Voltage drops, and greater stress on the fuses), they also might require 4.75 Volt to work.

'''Model B Hardware Revision 2.0 and Revision 1.0 with ECN0001 change'''
This had the polyfuses removed, removing the 100 mA current limitation for each USB port (but leaving the main fuse F3 intact). Users should still ensure their power supply can power the Raspberry Pi and the USB peripherals. Revision 2.0 was released in August 2012.

==Linux Driver Issues==
Shortly after the Raspberry Pi was released it was confirmed that there were a number of issues with the Linux USB driver for the SMSC95xx chip. These included problems with USB 1.x peripherals that use split transactions, a fixed number of channels (causing problems with Kinect) and the way the ARM processor handles the SMSC95xx interrupts. [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12097&start=76] [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=5249&start=44]
A large number of fixes were included in the 2012-08-19-Wheezy-raspbian Linux image.

== Powered USB Hubs ==
A number of low-cost powered USB hubs are known to have caused problems. Members of the Raspberry Pi forums have reported low power or no power at all in some cases. The following is a list of specific Powered USB Hubs which appear to be fault-free. Please note that these do not take into account powering the Raspberry Pi from the hub, in addition to its peripherals.

If you use a powered hub and the Raspberry Pi PSU together consider powering them from the same power bar with switch, so you can turn them on simultaneously., especially if the HUB tries to feed the Raspberry Pi through their interconnect cable, due to the 100 mA limiting fuse in the Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi will be partially powered which may cause problems (unwanted writes to the SD card).

===Problem USB Hubs===

Please check known workarounds [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list here] before adding to the list

*'''Addon'''
** 7-Port Powered Hub - labelled ADDUH070P - Gives constant Eth0 errors on boot.
*'''Belkin'''
** 7-Port Powered Mobile Hub - device labelled F4U018, packaging labelled F5U701. lsusb reveals it to be two Genesys Logic 4-port hubs based on the GL850G chipset (vendor: 0x05e3 product: 0x0608) ganged together. Yields a lot of "handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" errors and device resets in /var/log/messages. Low speed devices such as keyboards work OK, Wi-Fi/mass storage is unreliable or broken. -- No error messages with the latest kernel, but it is still unstable with mass storage devices. Also, leaks current back to the Raspberry Pi (can be fixed by overtaping GND and +5 V pinouts)
** F4U022 7-Port powered USB hub (powered 5 V, 2.6 A), same as F4U018
** 7-Port Powered Hub - device labled F5U237 Rev.3 - ID 050d:0237 Wired Ethernet fails to connect; gives "DWC OTG HCD URB enqueue failed adding QTD. Error status -4008" Result is same as DUB-H7 below.
** F5U404 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Mobile Hub. Faulty/bad design; Leaks current back up the cable to the Raspberry Pi.
** F5U307 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub (Powered, able to apply power to Raspberry Pi via micro USB from this hub at same time) It work's sometimes. (Works always without powering the Raspberry Pi, haven't tried that)

*'''Dell'''
** Dell U2410 Monitor Built-in 4 Port Hub - Shows up as a pair with 0424:2514 and 0424:2640. Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub. When connecting some devices it kills the Ethernet with "smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: eth0: Failed to read register index 0x0000011X" errors. It did work for a keyboard and webcam. Bluetooth that works connected directly to the Raspberry Pi triggers the error.

*'''DELTACO'''
** 7-Port USB Hub UH-713 Rev 3. This one consists also of two 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUBs connected together. The power supply is rated at 5 V 2 A. It kills Ethernet when X11 is started.

*'''Dynex'''
** 7-Port USB Hub - Does not work in Debian 19-04 image.
** DX-HB7PT 7-Port USB Hub - As per the Gear Head below, it's 2 daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Appears to result in significant slow downs when the USB is under load, such as running the root filesystem from a USB drive.

*'''Dynamode'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub (Silver and black). Feeds power back up the interconnect to the Raspberry Pi causing the power LED to light on the Raspberry Pi if the hub is powered on, but the Raspberry Pi is not. The Raspberry Pi also fails to boot when powered off this hub, with or without the interconnect plugged in. Stops the network from working when connected to the Raspberry Pi after booting the Raspberry Pi - cannot ssh to the Raspberry Pi. Best avoided. :-( Shows up in ''lsusb'' as a pair of ''ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB'' which is interesting. - Confirmed. This hub also appears unable to power an external USB drive using a y-cable as it gives the error -71 message in dmesg (when providing external power to the Raspberry Pi).
** 4-Port High-Speed USB 2.0 Hub (USB-H40-A2.0), came with with a 1 A power supply. Leaks power to the Raspberry Pi through the uplink. Doesn't work with Raspberry Pi, unless the Raspberry Pi is powered by a second power source. This hub is completely generic and I've seen it being sold under different brand names as well. Therefore, a picture is [http://i.imgur.com/BPZ3j.jpg included] for easy identification.

*'''D-Link'''
** 7-Port USB Hub DUB-H7 (Crashes USB stack, including Ethernet, when plugging / using some peripherals). (See note above, it works with some distros and/or with latest firmware)

*'''E-Solution'''
** 4-Port 2 A Supply (Does not detect at all during boot or after boot- no messages) [IC = Alcor Micro Corp (AU6254)]

*'''Fosmon'''
** 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub with 1 A Power Supply (Causes interference with other USB devices and sends enough power to light up the Raspberry Pi with it's Micro USB cable unplugged).

*'''Gear Head'''
** UH7250MAC 7-port powered hub. Internally, two daisy-chained Genesys Logic 05e3:0608 devices. Causes Ethernet instability when used under very specific circumstances, in X11.
** <strike>UH5200T 4-port powered hub. As of 2012-08-16 Wheezy, if any USB 1.x device (a keyboard, for example) is plugged into this hub, Ethernet stops, and USB interrupts for other devices get dropped (keys repeating forever), etc. Occurs even if power is not attached (not a power leakage problem).</strike> Appears working after a bootloader and/or firmware update on 9/12. Also, turned out to be somewhat more specific to the combination of two particular low-speed devices.

*'''Hama'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 "bus hub", model 78496 (?). Only works for low power devices (card readers?), but it does not work for power hungry devices (HDD and WLAN). It doesn't boot when hub connected to Raspberry Pi. The funniest thing is that Raspberry Pi powers on when I plug in this hub to normal size USB port (not that small dedicated port). idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0608

*'''Kensington'''
** 7-Port Dome Hub model no 1500129 (Possible problems with malfunctioning keyboard, kills mouse when GUI started).

*'''iBall'''
** Piano 423 4-Port USB hub. Listed in lsusb as Genesys Logic. Fails to deliver enough power to connected devices even when using AC power suply.

*'''Inland'''
** 4-Port USB 2.0 Cable Hub model no 480426 (Some devices work, some don't, cheap unshielded untwisted wire design)

*'''Logik'''
** LP7HUB11 7-Port USB Hub. (Ethernet failed, slow response, in LXDE. Happened whether or not the hub's independent power supply was connected to the hub.)

*'''Soniq'''
** 4-Port 5 V supply. Model number CUH100. (B). Appears to draw power away from the Raspberry Pi, even when the Raspberry Pi has an isolated power line. Netgear WNA1100 Wi-Fi Adapter (which is known to work in other setups is recognized, but it is unresponsive).

*'''Targus'''
** ACH115EU 7-port powered hub. 5 V 3 A power supply. Arduino communicates with Raspberry Pi when connected directly to Raspberry Pi's USB port, but it hangs as soon as if connected via ACH115. Also sometimes smsc95xx eth0 Failed to read register index 0x00000114 etc. errors in syslog when used.

*'''TCM'''
** Model 234298 s/n T634007737 powered hub. 4 ports plus card reader. 1 A power supply. Model B, Wheezy Raspbian works OK with keyboard/mouse, but there are problems with Wi-Fi no connects. (insufficient power?)

*'''Trust'''
** 10-port USB 2.0 Hub (powered). Prevents Ethernet from being recognised.
** SliZe 7 port USB 2.0 Hub (powered) - Item number 17080 (Barcode 8 713439 170801). Prevents Ethernet from being recognised. Keyboard sends multiple characters.

*'''Unbranded / Multiple Brands'''
** 7-port silver/black hub. Also sold elsewhere under brands such as 'EX-Pro', 'Trixes' and 'Xentra' -- This is ''probably'' due to an inadequate power supply. -- I replaced the terrible power supply with a very good one, kept getting "DEBUG: handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" in dmesg, with no devices plugged in to the hub (with or without the power supply in). Measurements by [[User:TrevorGowen|TrevorGowen]] ([[User talk:TrevorGowen|talk]]) of the power loading behaviour of an example of this type of hub and its supplied PSU are logged [http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/PoweredUSBHubs.html here], together with similar measurements of other devices.

===Problem USB Keyboards===

Note that generally PS/2 keyboards with an USB adapter will not work directly on a Raspberry Pi port, due to the fact that PS/2 keyboards are designed for normal 5 V +-5% range, while USB keyboards must be designed to work with 4.4 Volt, and generally USB devices on the Raspberry Pi may receive less than 4.75 Volt. PS/2 + USB adapter keyboards might work behind a powered hub, which does provide the full 5.0 V. Some of these keyboards work when running the latest Raspbian, but not when using the overclocked XBMC version of Raspbmc, probably due to the overclocking drawing more power away from the rest of the support system devices.

* '''Logik'''
** Logik IMF Blue Trace Wired USB mouse (Model LMWBLU11) - disconnects from the USB port every 20 seconds when using the Raspian distro. Always reconnects to the USB port successfully (B)

* '''Logitech'''
** Logitech G400 Gaming Mouse - 100% CPU load and laggy mouse cursor when the mouse is moved. MX518 works fine on the same setup, so I suspect it's a polling rate issue. [http://tech2.in.com/reviews/mice/logitech-g400-is-it-a-worthy-successor/231012 this] says the mouse is 1000 Hz out of the box, whereas the 518 is only 125 Hz. Solution found: add usbhid.mousepoll=8 to the kernel commandline.

* '''Microsoft'''
** Microsoft Touch Mouse - Does not see right clicks, Only left.

* '''Razer'''
** Naga Wired USB mouse - the mouse seems to present itself as a keyboard because the numpad on the left-hand side of the device works, but the cursor doesn't move.

Does not require a powered hub.

== USB Wi-Fi Adapters ==

See also: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44703/l/raspberry-pi-wifi-adapter-testing

There is a howto on installing the TL-WN722N adapter [http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals#Wireless:_TP-Link_TL-WN722N_USB_wireless_adapter_.28Debian_6.29 here], which also acts as a guide for installing others too.

===Working USB Wi-Fi Adapters===

These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, other adapters may well work, but it has not yet been tried.

'''Note:''' A Wi-Fi adapter will probably need more power than the Raspberry Pi USB port can provide, especially if
there is a large distance from the Wi-Fi adapter to the Wi-Fi Access Point. Therefore, you may need to plug the Wi-Fi adapter into a powered USB hub.

* '''3COM'''
** 3CRUSB10075: ZyDAS zd1211rw chipset (!)

* '''7DayShop'''

Tested on Debian Wheezy, with the dongle attached directly to the Raspberry Pi along with the wireless keyboard receiver. Shows up as a Ralink RT5370 device, and no drivers or additional software downloads required. Created wpa.conf, edited 'interfaces' file and restarted the networking. The manufacturer portion of the MAC address (7cdd90) is assigned to "Shenzhen Ogemray Technology Co., Ltd."
** It works without additional software connected directly to a Rev 2 Raspberry Pi, but it stops working after a period of time (3 to 4 hours) with a fully updated Wheezy and all the 'USB workarounds' [http://elinux.org/Rpi_USB_check-list] in place.

* '''A-Link'''
** A-Link NA1GU Gigabit USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter
This adapter works, but it (probably) requires a bit of work. The driver for the chipset (Asix AX88178) included with the Raspbian kernel (v 3.1.9+ Aug 7 2012) does '''not''' work. With that driver the device is detected, but it does not seem to be possible to actually put any traffic through it. :-( In order to make it work you need to download the latest driver from [http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=84;71;100&PLine=71 the chipset manufacturer]. The version I used was "Linux kernel 3.x/2.6.x Driver" v4.4.0, released 2012-05-18. Fortunately this is GNU GPLv2 -licenced source code and not a binary blob, so compiling it for the Raspberry Pi is perfectly doable. The hardest part was in fact getting the Linux source code required, because the repositores contained the source for the wrong kernel version. >:-( Fortunately there is [https://www.grendelman.net/wp/compiling-kernel-modules-for-raspbian-raspberry-pi a very useful guide] for how to get the sources from github, and preparing that source so that you can compile modules. Unfortunately you will have to compile the kernel (even if you don't actually install it) - which will take the better part of the day on the Raspberry, but once that's done you can unpack the driver source and just run "make && sudo make install". Reboot and you should have a fully working Ethernet adapter.

The adapter seems to work without a powered USB hub, but according to the specifications it can draw up to 190 mA, so there might be stability issues if additional power is not provided.

===Problem Ethernet adapters===
* Axago
** Axago ADE-X1 10/100 Ethernet Adapter (USB: 9710:7830 driver:mcs7830). Adapter working about 10 minutes without problem, but after that kernel write error message to dmesg and no packet is received. Needed to unplug and plug USB again. Tested with and without powered USB hub.

== USB Sound Cards ==
You will usually want the <code>alsa</code> package for sound. In the Debian image for Raspberry Pi (and possibly other distributions) USB sound cards are prevented from loading as the first sound card, which can be an annoyance if it's the only device you have. To disable this behaviour edit <code>/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf</code> and comment out the last line; <code>options snd-usb-audio index=-2</code> . If you are not user ''pi'' you may need to add your username to the ''audio'' group thus: <code>sudo adduser yourusername audio</code> (user ''pi'' usually belongs to this group anyway).

== USB Webcams ==

Debian image is missing v4l kernel modules, so video devices are not available. Kernel and firmware upgrade can possibly be used to fix this[http://blog.pixelami.com/2012/06/raspberry-pi-firmware-update-for-debian-squeeze/].

===Working USB Webcams===

===Problem USB Webcams===

*'''Creative'''
**WebCam Pro / PD1030 - ov519 driver crashes almost immediately. ("gspca: ISOC data error: [0] len=0, status=-4004")

*'''Logitech'''
**Webcam Pro 9000 - Has issues capturing images at higher than default resolutions (using motion - Arch and Debian).
**Webcam Pro 4000 - It uses pwc driver which does not work. Maybe it's because of general Raspberry Pi USB bug.

*'''Microsoft'''
**Lifecam HD5000 - Picture breaks up at the bottom

== USB GPS devices ==
*Royaltek
**Royaltek RGM 2000 SiRF2 using the included serial (TTL) to USB - converter. That uses a Profilic pl2303-chip so you'll need to compile the module or the kernel manually
*Garmin
**Garmin eTrex Vista HCx: It works, but it may draw too much power. To get it working (software part): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/USB_Garmin_on_GNU/Linux
*GlobalSat
**GlobalSat BU-353 Does not require a powered hub, works fine when directly plugged into the Raspberry Pi. On Raspian, requires the gpsd and gpsd-client packages. For some reason, the gpsd daemon does not always start correctly on boot. You may need to do something like the following to manually restart it: <pre>sudo killall gpsd; sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock</pre>

*Wintec
**WBT-200: No problem on Debian
*Holux
**Holux M-215: Works fine on Arch, uses Silicon Labs CP210x RS232 serial adaptor driver
*Bluenext
**Bluenext BN903S: No problem on Debian image (19-04-2012).

== USB UART and USB to Serial (RS-232) adapters ==
A USB UART adapter is used to access the serial console of the Raspberry Pi from a development host such as a laptop or desktop PC. The USB end connects to the PC and the UART header end connects to the USB. While it is possible to connect the USB end to another Raspberry Pi, this configuration has not been tested unless explicitly mentioned against an individual entry below.

*'''FTDI'''
**FT232 chip based adapters works for some people, but others find it hangs Linux when the port is opened. The module is ftdi_sio.

** FT2232D dual RS232/FIFO works (used in various JTAG devices)

*'''Prolific'''
**PL2303 chip based adaptors works fine on latest Debian tested with ''minicom'' and ''gtkterm''

A USB to Serial (RS-232) adapter is used the other way around, ie. the USB end connects to the Raspberry Pi and the RS-232 end (DSUB-9 or DSUB-25 pin) to the other device which may be another computer, (old) modem or printer, or some electronic test equipment.

*"Best Connectivity" (Possibly also sold under the "Newlink HQ" or "Kenable HQ" labels)
**FG-U1232-PL2 Based upon the Prolific PL2303X chipset and listed by ''lsusb'' as <code>ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port</code>. Appears as <code>/dev/ttyUSB0</code>, and requires the user to be a member of the ''dialout'' group (which ''pi'' is for ''Raspbian Wheezy''). Initially tested using an old RS Datalinker setup in "loopback" mode via ''microcom'' upto 9600 baud, and ''gtkterm'' after installing that from source code. All handshake lines toggled as expected and no characters were lost. Subsequently ''gtkterm'' was used to check bi-directional communication with an ancient brother EP44 electronic typewriter (as a printer/dumb terminal) at 1200 baud. Signal lines were again monitored with the Datalinker.

== Other, exotic USB devices ==
=== USB to Parallel Port/Printer Adapters ===
*'''Prolific'''
**PL2305 Chipset with Centronics 36w connector. Originally purchased for use with a netbook and connected to an old Canon BJC-250 printer. Worked fine under [[RPi_Distributions#RISC_OS| RISC OS Raspberry Pi]] with its in-built BJC-250 driver. Could not install the CUPS drivers etc. for Wheezy-Raspbian, but it was able to do so for Wheezy-armel. (See notes at [http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/USBtoParPrntAdapter.html http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/USBtoParPrntAdapter] for more info.)

=== USB to SATA ===
*'''Nippon Labs'''
** 2.5" SATA HDD USB Adapter with silicone HDD sleeve. Model: USB-ADT-25SATA. Works on powered Hub, not directly to Raspberry Pi. Built-in "Y" power adapter.

=== CAN Bus ===
*PEAK-System (www.peak-system.com)
**PCAN-USB using the driver (kernel module) from http://www.peak-system.com/fileadmin/media/linux/index.htm
=== Home automation ===
*Tellstick (www.telldus.com), installation [[R-Pi_Tellstick_core|instructions]]
**Depends on libftdi1

=== Touch Screen ===
*ACER T230H touch screen [http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/monitor/2009/acer/t230h/t230hnv.shtml]
**USB TS identifies as "Quanta Computer, Inc. Optical dual-touch panel", module hid_quanta
**Seems to draw over 200 mA from USB!
=== Floppy Disk Drive ===
*Samsung USB Floppy Drive SFD-321U/HP
**I suppose a floppy drive might be considered exotic nowadays!
**LSUSB lists it as Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. Floppy Disk Drive
**Only tried connected to a powered USB hub, as the drive is labelled 5 V at 0.5 A on a Raspberry Pi running Debian Wheezy.
**tail -f /var/log/syslog looking for mount device when plugged in, came up as SDA in testing.
**sudo mkdir /media/floppy
**sudo mount /dev/sda /media/floppy
**Contents of floppy now available in /media/floppy
**To remove drive, ensure no sessions have the floppy directory as the current working directory.
**sudo umount /media/floppy
=== USB Missile Launcher ===
*USB Missile Launcher / Rocket Launcher sold in UK by Marks and Spencer, but it is also sold under a range of other names.
**USB ID 1130:0202 Tenx Technology, Inc. Use apt-get install pymissile (python code) and there is C code at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbmissile/ usbmissile from Source Forge]
=== USB Docking Stations ===
*StarTech USB 3.0 to Dual 2.5"/3.5" SATA HDD Dock (SATDOCK2U3GB)
**This is an externally powered dual sata HDD docking station, which has USB2.0 compatibility with the Raspberry Pi.
**Tested with latest Raspbmc and Debian Wheezy Raspbian, 3.1.9+ #168
=== USB RFID Reader ===
*Unbranded 125 kHz EM4100 RFID reader from eBay sellers (< £7), the one with a Windows logo on (easily scratches off for Linux users).
**Initially would not work when plugged in directly to Raspberry Pi. Worked when connected via an unpowered Trust hub. Worked after Raspberry Pi was modified with 10K resistors over the USB polyfuses (warranty invalidated). Probably would work fine with powered hub.
**Sends a 10 digit string to current window or console as if it was a keyboard. Can be captured independently of keyboard using Linux event interface (/dev/input), but the kernel in current distributions does not have CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV selected so kernel rebuild is necessary.
=== JTAG ===
* FTDI2232D dual RS232/FIFO based JTAG (e.g. SheevaPlug JTAGKey USB-ID 9e88:9e8f)
** works using the Raspberry Pi as a development host
=== USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader ===
* US Robotics All-In-One Multi-Format Card Reader (Product # USR8420) Accepts 5 cards simultaneously
** SD/MMC + MS/MS PRO or DUO/DUO PRO + CF/MD + SM + SD/MMC or MS/MS PRO. Useful for backing up cards containing other OS Distros

== PS2 / AT to USB Converters ==

* Unbranded active converter known as the "blue cube". Based on the Cypress CY7C63723C 8 bit RISC. Please see http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=PS2-to-USB+adapters for more information.
Note that although the adapter might work, PS/2 keyboards were not designed to be low power USB devices, so they might not meet the requirement to work with considerable lowered supply voltage (4.4 volt) provided by the USB ports of the raspberry PI. These keyboards should work when powered by a powered hub.

'''Tested PS2/AT keybords'''

All above tested with the famous "blue cube" on a powered USB hub.

*IBM Model F (please note requires an additional AT to PS2 converter)
*Dell AT101w
*Northgate Ominikey Ultra T (please note requires an aditonal AT to PS2 converter)

* 04d9:1400 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. PS/2 keyboard + mouse controller
** Working: Ipex RT215KTW PS/2 keyboard
** Not working: HP SK-2502 PS/2 keyboard (gets power, but it does not init - three LEDs remain permanently lit. Keyboard + Holtek converter work on a Linux PC, although this keyboard doesn't work with some native PS/2 ports.)

== Power adapters ==
The Raspberry Pi uses a standard Micro USB (type B) power connector, which runs at 5 V. Generally you can use a MicroUSB to USB cable and then either power the Raspberry Pi directly from your main computers USB ports (if they provide enough power), or by using a USB to Mains adaptor. A number of mobile phones use MicroUSB power cables, and these are compatible with the Raspberry Pi in most cases. Below is a list of power adaptors known to work.

== Display adapters ==
Note that active converter boxes may draw power through the HDMI port, and thus will put an extra load on your PSU, and also increase the current running through the Raspberry Pi's primary input fuse. HDMI ports (and the raspberry PI) are designed so that they deliver a very limited amount of power (50 mA) to the TV/Monitor/display-adapter and much more isn't in theory allowed. In fact there is a diode (D1) in series with the power line which can only handle 200 mA, if the adapter tries to draw much more than that the diode might fail. Therefore only externally powered adapters are to be recommended. Despite this, many people report success with these high powered devices.

===HDMI->DVI-D===
There are three kinds of DVI. There is DVI-D, a digital signal fully compatible with HDMI, so a passive cable can be used. There is DVI-I, which is a connector with both analog pins and digital pins. An HDMI to DVI-D adapter fits in a DVI-I female connector. Finally, there is DVI-A. This a fairly rare connection, but occasionally it will be found on some monitors and is an analog interface, in fact the same as VGA!

Some adapters like Farnell part AK-CBHD03-BK are HDMI to DVI-I, which, while not fitting in a DVI-D monitor, are still compatible. The analog pins simply must be bent.

The HDMI to DVI-D cable provided by Apple with the 2010 Mac Mini worked. It does not appear this adapter can be purchased separately.

Works well, but it's probably the cause of some power loss between the Raspberry Pi and the monitor, causing [http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Interference_visible_on_a_HDMI_or_DVI_monitor this] problem. A setting of config_hdmi_boost='''5''' in /etc/boot solved this. Note that config_hdmi_boost='''4''', as suggested in the troubleshooting guide, helped, but it did not solve the problem completely.

===HDMI->VGA converter boxes===

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KEIRNG -- "Neewer" HDMI to VGA -- some issues discussed below:
However, according to user "Tom1989" the same Neewer HDMI to VGA adapter burned out BAT54 Schottky diode D1 on the Raspberry Pi and broke its HDMI output: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9819 Serious HDMI Problems. What's that smell? Burning Raspberry!]. On that thread, "mahjongg" suggested the NXP (or equivalent) PMEG2010AET as a high-current replacement for D1. The PMEG2010AET has 1 A max forward current, much greater than the BAT54's 200 mA limit which may be exceeded by your HDMI -> VGA converter. Remember that the converter's current must come from your Raspberry Pi power supply and go through the Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3, so you may get extra voltage drops and/or cause F3 to trip depending on how much current the converter uses. As always with board modifications, YMMV. Also on the "Burning Raspberry!" thread, user "pwinwood" reported the Neewer's current to be 400 mA, which is twice the limit of BAT54 diode D1. "pwinwood" also took the Neewer apart and added its own +5 V connection adapted from a USB cable, which bypasses Raspberry Pi's Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3.

This adapter -- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300692770623 -- works from 640x480 up to 1920x1080, audio over HDMI works too.
Sadly the IC's on the PCB have all been scrubbed.

Tested against a Philips 170B 1280x1024 LCD monitor, producing a full native resolution image. Not tested against a Component Video TV yet, and audio has yet to be got working.

According to user "Mortimer" -- HDFury1 1080p HDMI to VGA Converter from HDFury.com. I'm not sure the HDFury1 can be got a hold of easily nowadays, I happened to have access to one to try out. HDFury2, 3 and 4 are available as far as I can tell, but it is very pricey compared to the alternatives. HDFury1 was around £80 when we bought one for a project at work. HDFury2 seems to be around £130, 3 and 4 are getting on towards £200 or more. So not to be recommended as a solution unless you happen to have one lying around. I don't believe there is any relationship between the company that produces these and the HDFuryPro I bought for myself (See above). I didn't alter any config settings, just plugged it in. It doesn't work without having its external power supply connected, as it requires 0.4 A, which is too much draw for the 5 V supply available from the HDMI socket on the Raspberry Pi. Its power LED lights, but no picture is produced. In comparison to the HDFuryPro this picture from this device is sharper, but it is not enough to justify the extra cost.
The [[RPi_config.txt|config.txt]] settings used are:
 hdmi_drive=2
 hdmi_group=2
 hdmi_mode=36

The config.txt for Raspbian (Flatron VGA monitor 1024 * 768):
 hdmi_drive=2
 hdmi_group=2
 hdmi_mode=16
 hdmi_force_hotplug=1
 disable_overscan=0

And another one: http://cgi.ebay.pl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251086464644. It is very cheap, but it works perfectly. No config.txt changes was needed at all. I've booted Raspbian and OpenELEC. Monitor is detected correctly and the optimal resolution is set (Raspbian) or you can change the res in the menu (OpenELEC).
The /opt/vc/bin/tvservice is able to read monitor edid data. I tested the adapter using NEC 72VM 15" LCD. (1280x1024 60 Hz, 1024x768 60 Hz, 640x480 works) The adapter is based on Lontium LT8511A chip, but I was unable to get the specification for it.
The D1 diode is getting very hot though. Most likely the adapter drives more than 200 mA. The standard RS Components 1.2 A USB power supply is able to provide enough power for the Raspberry Pi and the adapter. I'll try to modify the adapter to connect external power to bypass D1.
Marcin.

===DVI-D -> VGA active adapters===
None are currently listed

===Composite->SCART===
SCART adapters (SCART plugs with three RCA connectors in the back), will probably work when used with the yellow RCA plug connected to the Raspberry Pi's RCA video output. Additionally using a splitter cable (3.5 mm jack plug on one end, and red-white RCA plugs on the other end) will probably work when plugged into the red and white (left and right audio channels) of the SCART adapter.

== SD cards ==

The SD card is a key part of the Raspberry Pi; it provides the initial storage for the Operating System and files. Storage can be extended through many types of USB connected peripherals.

When the Raspberry Pi is 'switched on', i.e. connected to a power supply, a special piece of code called the bootloader is executed, which reads more special code from the SD card that is used to start up the Raspberry Pi. If there is no SD card inserted, it will not start. Do NOT push in or pull out an SD card while the Raspberry Pi is connected to the power, as this is likely to corrupt the SD card data (you might get away with it, but it is best not to).

The SD card must be formatted, or written to, in a special way that means the Raspberry Pi can read the data it needs to start properly. If you are new to this check the instructions, or buy a pre-formatted SD card.

One advantage to using an SD card like this is that you can have several SD cards, each with a different operating system, or a different purpose. Simply power off, switch cards, and reconnect the power. You have a different computer to play with.

=== Which SD card? ===

[[File:SD_Card_dimensions.png‎|right|frameless|SD card sizes]]

SD cards come in three physical sizes (see picture). The Raspberry Pi needs the largest one. The miniSD card and the MicrSD card can be used in a Raspberry Pi, but you will need an adapter / holder to fit it.

SD cards come in a range of storage sizes. You need one of type SDHC, but there are other types of SDSC, SDXC and SDIO which will not work in a Raspberry Pi (confirmation needed). The SDHC type comes in memory sizes of up to 32 GB.

There are other properties of SD cards that are not covered here. Read the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital Wikipedia article] for those details.

=== Other SD card content ===

=== Technical Information ===

Note that manufacturers change their designs over time, even as the specs stay the same. (E.g. an ACME 8 GB class 4 card manufactured in 2011 might work, while one manufactured in 2012 might not.)
For this reason, please specify product numbers in the lists below, when possible.

You can also attach the following fields from your card's CID:
<pre>
cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc?/mmc?:*
echo "man:$(cat manfid) oem:$(cat oemid) name:$(cat name) hwrev:$(cat hwrev) fwrev:$(cat fwrev)"

===Problem SD cards===

Make sure that you buy your card from a reliable source. There are many cheap Chinese copies of (brand name) SD-Cards on the market, [http://www.petapixel.com/2011/05/20/one-third-of-the-sandisk-memory-cards-on-earth-are-counterfeit/] in addition they are often mislabeled as having greater capacity than they really have. For example they might be sold as being 4 GB, but they are actually 2 GB (or even less).

There were initially issues with most Class 10 SDHC cards, apparently due to a bug in the Broadcom bootloader.[http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/class-10-sd-cards-on-the-production-boards/page-3/#p39181]

This seems to have been fixed in sdhci.c: [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/7e8ae226fe6e95954df6b0dcdde40a53dbbc1a0b] Further feedback will be useful.

If you add an SD card here, please also mention the kernel date and the date you tried it. This allows people to estimate how likely it is that a driver-fix in the kernel has been fixed. (i.e. I think some/most of the cards here work fine now, because a problem in the kernel driver has been fixed).

Talk:RPi Easy SD Card Setup

2012-12-01T19:10:36Z

Mortense: /* Reference section blues */ new section

==Resizing the SD card==

I can resize the partition, but not use it. Running the command

sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

gives me an error "Permission denied to resize the filesystem". Tried several things and I can't see how this can be done on an SD card that is being used to run the pi. Can someone help?

==Copying the image to an SD Card on Windows if first option isn't successful==

--[[User:Kerbik|Kerbik]] 23:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
I hope that this will help someone :) (I didn't test this created SDcard on Pi, yet because I still doesn't have it in my hands :( )

--[[User:Radek|Radek]] 21:03, 18 May 2012 (UTC) Yes it works :)

== Question about deleting the swap partition ==

Steps 4 and 6 under section "'''Copying an image to the SD Card in Linux (command line)'''" assume that the OS will automount the USB SDCard reader. This is not the case with the current release of Debian that's listed on the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads RPi downloads page]. (debian6-19-04-2012) Using the df command with this release does not provide the user with the needed information.
I do not (yet) know enough about Linux to provide easy, more reliable instructions. I was able to determine the correct device name by using "tail -f /var/log/messages" and watching for any mention of "sda" or similar while plugging/unplugging the USB SDCard reader.
--[[User:GG Crew|GG Crew]] 20:33, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

The steps currently listed under [[RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup#Manually_resizing_the_SD_card_on_Raspberry_Pi|Manually resizing the SD card on Raspberry Pi]] instruct the user to delete the swap partition (in order to expand the main partition), but never recreate a new swap partition. For a device as limited on RAM as the RPi, this does not seem like a good idea. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can update the directions, or explain why we don't need a swap partition. --[[User:GG Crew|GG Crew]] 07:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

: Having swap space on SSD/Flash isn't a good idea except for testing purposes. Prolonged swapping reduces the MTBF of the unit dramatically. If you're going to go to the trouble of adjusting partitions, it isn't unreasonable to move any needed swap space to some other (safer, or sacrificial) device. [[User:Gus3|Gus3]] 14:37, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

== Incorrect MacOSX drive name ==

Believe (on a macBook pro, running 10.6.8 with a built in SD card reader) it's /dev/diskN not /dev/rdiskN ? Also should we have a further firm warning about getting this command right..

== Incorrect eject command in MacOSX ==

I had to use "diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s1" instead of "diskutil eject /dev/disk1s1" as the latter removed /dev/rdisk1 from the machine. I was using an external USB SD card reader/writer if that makes any difference.

== RasPiWrite ==

Original URL of http://exaviorn.com/raspiwrite/ was throwing 500s, so changed to github link.

== Reference section blues ==

The reference section seems to be messed up (also in the [http://elinux.org/index.php?title=RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup&oldid=195308 2012-11-24 version]). --[[User:Mortense|Mortense]] ([[User talk:Mortense|talk]]) 19:10, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

RPi Easy SD Card Setup

2012-12-01T19:07:00Z

Mortense: Copy edited. Line-break protection.

[[Category: RaspberryPi]]
{{Template:RPi_Startup}}

=SD card setup=
To boot the Raspberry Pi, you need an SD card installed with a bootloader and a suitable Operating System. Some Raspberry Pi kits will come with a ready-to-go card, but if you didn't receive one you will need to prepare your own:

Official images are available from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads and there is an overview of available distributions [[RPi_Distributions | here]].

Warning! When you write the Raspberry Pi image to your SD card you will lose all data that was on the card.

=Safest/Laziest way=
Buy a preloaded card from RS Components, Element14 or [http://thepihut.com/ The Pi Hut's Raspberry Pi Store].

=Easiest way=

* Use an installer program. The [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix_Installation#SD_Card_Installation_Using_the_Installer Fedora ARM Installer] will download and install Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix images, but it will also install other images if they are already downloaded and in uncompressed or .gz format.

* ('''Mac''') The [https://github.com/exaviorn/RasPiWrite RasPiWrite] utility is a python script which will walk you through the process of installing to SD card, it works with any Raspberry Pi compatible disk image, and can download one of the currently available distros if you don't have one.

* If your Pi is connected to the Internet, you can use the [http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot BerryBoot installer] to let it download and install the operating system. This requires that you first use a normal Windows/Mac/Linux computer to download a small .zip file with the Berryboot system files and extract it to an empty SD card. Then you put the SD card in your Pi, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. An additional advantage is that Berryboot allows you to install more than one operating system on a single SD card. Also, it is not necessary to install any additional software on your normal Windows/Mac/Linux computer.

=Easy way=

To write your SD card you start by downloading the SD image (the data you will write to the card). The best way to do this is using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol) BitTorrent]. This generally results in a faster download as it is a highly distributed system (you will be downloading the data from users who have previously downloaded it).

This guide assumes you have downloaded the Debian "wheezy" image, with name 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian. Obviously, if you are downloading a different or newer version, use the name of the version you have downloaded.

==Copying the image to an SD card on Windows==

# Download the image from a mirror or torrent. The remainder of this assumes you are using the Raspbian “wheezy” download 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.zip
#* http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
# Extract the image file 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.img from the downloaded .zip file.
# Insert the SD card into your SD card reader and check what drive letter it was assigned. You can easily see the drive letter (for example G:) by looking in the left column of Windows Explorer. If the card is not new, you should format it; otherwise Win32DiskImager may hang.
# Download the [https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer Win32DiskImager] utility. The download links are on the right hand side of the page, you want the binary zip.
# Extract the executable from the zip file and run the Win32DiskImager utility. '''You should run the utility as Administrator!'''
# Select the 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.img image file you extracted earlier
# Select the drive letter of the SD card in the device box. '''Be careful to select the correct drive; if you get the wrong one you can destroy your computer's hard disk!'''
# Click Write and wait for the write to complete.
# Exit the imager and eject the SD card.
# Insert the card in the Raspberry Pi, power it on, and it should boot up. There is an option in the configure script that comes up to expand the partitions to use all of the SD card if you have used one larger than 4 GB
''In Windows the SD card will appear only to have a fairly small size - about 75 Mbytes. This is because most of the card has a partition that is formatted for the Linux operating system that the Raspberry Pi uses and is not visible in Windows.''

==Copying the image to an SD card on Windows if first option isn't successful==
I wasn't able to choose device in Win32DiskImager on my notebook so I found a different way to achieve the same thing on a Windows machine..

# Download the image from a mirror or torrent
#* http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
# Extract the image file 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.img from 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.zip
# Insert the SD card into your SD card reader and check what drive letter it was assigned. You can easily see the drive letter (for example H:) by looking in the left column of Windows Explorer.
# Download flashnul software from http://shounen.ru/soft/flashnul/ here is [http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fshounen.ru%2Fsoft%2Fflashnul%2F&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=ru&tl=en Translated version]
#* Download the latest version at the time of writing it was flashnul-1rc1.
#* Download and extract the application from the archive.
#* Click Start button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt, right click on it and Run as Administrator.
#* Run the flashnul with argument:
C:/flashnul/flashnul.exe -p
#* Flashnul will tell you something like:

Avaible physical drives:
0 size = 250059350016 (232 Gb)
1 size = 1990197248 (1898 Mb)

Avaible logical disks:
C:\
D:\
F:\
G:\
H:\

Press ENTER to exit.

'''SDCARD number is on left! In my case it is number 1'''

#* Now we will use the Load argument:
C:/flashnul/flashnul.exe 1 -L C:/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.img
where '''<Path to flashnul directory>'''flashnul.exe '''<device number>''' -L '''<img file path>'''

#* Flashnul will give you a device summary and proceed caution, have a quick scan through the information to make sure you have selected the correct device, then type yes and press enter.
#* If you get a access denied error, try re-plugging the SD card. Also make sure to close all explorer windows or folders open for the device.
#* If you still get a access denied error, try substitute the device number with the drive letter followed by a colon. Eg:
C:/flashnul/flashnul.exe H: -L C:/debian6/debian6-19-04-2012.img
* If the device summary does not match Your card (the size is smaller, for example, 75 MB), but you are sure, that the letter is correct - please continue and then try again with the device number.

==Copying an image to the SD card in Mac OS X (mostly graphical interface)==
# Download the image from a mirror or torrent
#* http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
# Extract the image by double clicking on the download file
# Connect the SD card reader with the SD card inside; note: must be formatted in FAT32!
# From the ''Apple () menu'', choose ''About This Mac'', then click on ''More info...''; if you are using Mac OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion then click on ''System report''.
# Click on ''USB'' (or ''Card Reader'' if using an in-built SD card reader) then search for your SD card in the upper right section of the window; click it, then search for ''BSD name'' in the lower right section: must be something like '''disk'''''n'' where ''n'' is a number (for example, disk4). Note this number
# Unmount the partition so that you will be allowed to overwrite the disk by opening Disk Utility and unmounting it (do not eject it, or you have to reconnect it)
# From the Terminal run:
#* '''sudo dd if=''path_of_your_image.img'' of=/dev/disk''n'' bs=1m'''
#* Remember to replace ''n'' with the number that you noted before!
# Wait a LONG time!
# You're done! Insert it in the Raspberry Pi, and have fun

==Copying an image to the SD card in Mac OS X (command line)==

'''Note''': Some users have [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/search.php?keywords=extra+files&t=8226&sf=msgonly reported issues] with using Mac OS X to create SD cards.
#These commands and actions need to be performed from an account that has administrator privileges.
# Download the image from a mirror or torrent
#* http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
# Verify if the the hash key is the same (optional), in the terminal run:
#* '''shasum ~/Downloads/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.zip'''
# Extract the image:
#* '''unzip ~/Downloads/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.zip'''
#* ''(or: just double click the zip, it will extract automatically)''
# From the terminal run '''df -h'''
# Connect the SD card reader with the SD card inside
# Run '''df -h''' again and look for the new device that wasn't listed last time. Record the device name of the filesystem's partition, for example, '''/dev/disk3s1'''
# Unmount the partition so that you will be allowed to overwrite the disk:
#* '''sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk3s1'''
#* ''(or: open Disk Utility and unmount the partition of the SD card (do not eject it, or you have to reconnect it)
# Using the device name of the partition work out the raw device name for the entire disk, by omitting the final "s1" and replacing "disk" with "rdisk" ('''this is very important:''' you '''will''' lose all data on the hard drive on your computer if you get the wrong device name). Make sure the device name is the name of the whole SD card as described above, not just a partition of it (for example, rdisk3, not rdisk3s1. Similarly you might have another SD drive name/number like rdisk2 or rdisk4, etc. -- recheck by using the '''df -h''' command both before & after you insert your SD card reader into your Mac if you have any doubts!):
#* For example, '''/dev/disk3s1''' => '''/dev/rdisk3'''
# In the terminal write the image to the card with this command, using the raw disk device name from above (read '''carefully''' the above step, to be sure you use the correct rdisk# here!):
#* '''sudo dd bs=1m if=~/Downloads/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/rdisk3'''
#* if the above command report an error(dd: bs: illegal numeric value), please change bs=1M to bs=1m
#* (note that dd will not feedback any information until there is an error or it is finished, information will show and disk will re-mount when complete. However if you are curious as to the progresss - ctrl-T (SIGINFO, the status argument of your tty) will display some en-route statistics).
# After the dd command finishes, eject the card:
#* '''sudo diskutil eject /dev/rdisk3'''
#* ''(or: open Disk Utility and eject the SD card)''
# Insert it in the Raspberry Pi, and have fun

==Copying an image to the SD card in Linux (command line)==

Please note that the use of the "dd" tool can overwrite any partition of your machine. If you specify the wrong device in the instructions below you could delete your primary Linux partition. Please be careful.

# Download the zip file containing the image from a mirror or torrent
#* http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
# Verify if the the hash key of the zip file is the same as shown on the downloads page (optional). Assuming that you put the zip file in your home directory (~/), in the terminal run:
#* '''sha1sum ~/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.zip'''
#* This will print out a long hex number which should match the "SHA-1" line for the SD image you have downloaded
# Extract the image, with
#* '''unzip ~/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.zip'''
# Run '''df -h''' to see what devices are currently mounted
# If your computer has a slot for SD cards, insert the card. If not, insert the card into an SD card reader, then connect the reader to your computer.
# Run '''df -h''' again. The device that wasn't there last time is your SD card. The left column gives the device name of your SD card. It will be listed as something like "/dev/mmcblk0p1" or "/dev/sdd1". The last part ("p1" or "1" respectively) is the partition number, but you want to write to the whole SD card, not just one partition, so you need to remove that part from the name (getting for example "/dev/mmcblk0" or "/dev/sdd") as the device for the whole SD card. Note that the SD card can show up more than once in the output of df: in fact it will if you have previously written a Raspberry Pi image to this SD card, because the Raspberry Pi SD images have more than one partition.
# Now that you've noted what the device name is, you need to unmount it so that files can't be read or written to the SD card while you are copying over the SD image. So run the command below, replacing "/dev/sdd1" with whatever your SD card's device name is (including the partition number)
#* '''umount /dev/sdd1'''
#* If your SD card shows up more than once in the output of df due to having multiple partitions on the SD card, you should unmount all of these partitions.
# In the terminal write the image to the card with this command, making sure you replace the input file '''if=''' argument with the path to your .img file, and the "/dev/sdd" in the output file '''of=''' argument with the right device name ('''this is very important:''' you '''will''' lose all data on the hard drive on your computer if you get the wrong device name). Make sure the device name is the name of the whole SD card as described above, not just a partition of it (for example, sdd, not sdds1 or sddp1, or mmcblk0 not mmcblk0p1)
#* '''dd bs=4M if=~/2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/sdd'''
#** Please note that block size set to 4M will work most of the time, if not, please try 1M, although 1M will take considerably longer.
#* Note that if you are not logged in as root you will need to prefix this with '''sudo '''
#* The dd command does not give any information of its progress and so may appear to have frozen. It could take more than five minutes to finish writing to the card. If your card reader has an LED it may blink during the write process. To forcibly stop the copy operation you can run '''pkill -USR1 -n -x dd''' in another terminal (prefixed with '''sudo''' if you are not logged in as root).
# Instead of dd you can use dcfldd; it will give a progress report about how much has been written.
# You can check what's written to the SD card by dd-ing from the card back to your harddisk to another image, and then running diff (or md5sum) on those two images. There should be no difference.
# As root run the command '''sync''' or if a normal user run '''sudo sync''' (this will ensure the write cache is flushed and that it is safe to unmount your SD card)
# Remove SD card from card reader, insert it in the Raspberry Pi, and have fun

If you are using Ubuntu and hesitate to use the terminal, you can use the ImageWriter tool (nice graphical user interface) to write the .img file to the SD card.

# Download the zip file containing the image from a mirror or torrent
#* http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
# Right click the zip file and select "Extract here"
#* '''ATTENTION''': As of this writing (15 June 2012), there is a bug in the ImageWriter program that causes it to fail if the filename of the image file or its path (i.e. all the names of any parent folders that you extract the image file into) contain any space characters. Before going any further, ensure that neither the file name of the image you're using or the path contain any spaces (or other odd characters, for that matter). A bug has been opened for this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/usb-imagewriter/+bug/1013834 Once the issue is fixed, edit this page to advise people to use an updated/patched version of ImageWriter.
# Insert the SD card into your computer or connect the SD card reader with the SD card inside
# Install the ImageWriter tool from the Ubuntu Software Center
# Launch the ImageWriter tool (it needs your administrative password)
# Select the image file (example 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.img) to be written to the SD card (note: because you started ImageWriter as administrator the starting point when selecting the image file is the administrator's home folder so you need to change to your own home folder to select the image file)
# Select the target device to write the image to (your device will be something like "/dev/mmcblk0" or "/dev/sdc")
# Click the "Write to device" button
# Wait for the process to finish and then insert the SD card in the Raspberry Pi

=Manually resizing the SD card partitions (Optional)=
The SD card image is sized for a 2 GB card. So, if you are using an SD card with a greater capacity, you may find that only 2 GB is available. If this is the case, then to gain more free space, the partitions must be resized. The Fedora Remix and the BerryBoot will automatically resize the partitions on the mounted card during the first boot. The Debian and Rasbian images won't, so you'll have to do it manually. The easiest way is to use the tool [[RPi raspi-config]] selecting menu item EXPAND-ROOTFS - Expand Root Partition to Fill SD Card. If you want to resize the SD card whilst the SD card is not mounted in the Pi, look [[RPi_Resize_Flash_Partitions|here]] for instructions.

=Adding a data partition (Optional)=
If you would rather not resize the partition on another machine as described above, either because you do not have another working Linux machine or you wish to keep your data on another partition to your operating system, you can instead create a new data partition and have that mount automatically at boot.

*First you need to become root and install parted (I did all of this from the boot command prompt, although if you feel safer in a GUI, you can do all of this in a terminal window):
sudo su -
apt-get install parted
*Then you need to run parted on your SD card, mine is /dev/mmcblk0, ymmv:
parted /dev/mmcblk0
*Once running, set the display units to something usable and then print your partition table
unit chs
print
*You should see something like this:
Model: SD SD08G (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 121279,3,31
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
BIOS cylinder,head,sector geometry: 121280,4,32. Each cylinder is 65.5kB.
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Type File system Flags
1 16,0,0 1215,3,31 primary fat32 lba
2 1232,0,0 26671,3,31 primary ext4
3 26688,0,0 29743,3,31 primary linux-swap(v1)
*Now you need to create your data partition - you need to choose one more than the end of partition 3 with ,0,0 as your start and use the number from the line that starts with Disk as your end:
mkpart primary 29744,0,0 121279,3,31
print
*That should show your new partition:
Number Start End Type File system Flags
1 16,0,0 1215,3,31 primary fat32 lba
2 1232,0,0 26671,3,31 primary ext4
3 26688,0,0 29743,3,31 primary linux-swap(v1)
4 29744,0,0 121279,3,31 primary
*Now quit and format the partition (again, ymmv with the specific device name, try ls /dev for some clues), and then label it:
quit
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p4
e2label /dev/mmcblk0p4 data
*Now we need to make sure that the partition is mounted automatically when the system boots (maybe don't use vi if you never have before, try nano):
vi /etc/fstab
*Enter a line exactly like this at the end of the file and save and quit your text editor:
/dev/mmcblk0p4 /data ext4 defaults 1 2
*Create the mount point:
mkdir /data
*Now mount the partition:
mount /data
cd /data
ls
Your new partition has been created!

{{Template:RPi_Startup}}

Raspberry Pi has appointed [http://www.element14.com/raspberrypi Farnell] and [http://rswww.com RS Components] as its authorised manufacturing parners distributors.

As of July 16th 2012, both [http://www.element14.com/raspberrypi Premier Farnell] and [http://rswww.com RS Components] have removed their "one per customer" restriction. Both consumers and businesses alike should now be able to buy bulk stock of the Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi's distributors will ship worldwide to the best of their ability (ie subject to origin export and local import laws).

Countries that are currently subject to UK (including EU and UN) export restrictions include North Korea, Iran, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Zimbabwe. A full list and further details are provided at [http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/layer?topicId=1084100244]

Farnell have also been refusing to sell direct to some consumers in the EU, to the best of my knowlage they have not given full details of why.

There are three main options for buying a Raspberry Pi, buying direct from the distributor, buying from a subsidary or sister company of the distributor or buying from a third party reseller which option is best will depend on the location of the customer, the number of Raspberry Pi's being purchased, and the urgency of the order.

All new orders from the main distributors should now be filled with 512 MB rev 2 Raspberry Pi's. However, some third-party resellers may still have stock of the older models.

Note that stock status may change quickly. It may be worth checking a local supplier even if they are listed as out of stock here.

==Main distributors and subsidaries/sister companies==
==Farnell==
http://www.farnell.com/
Farnell are one of the two main distributors, as of 2012-11-21 their main European operation is out of stock and quoting a three-week lead time. Reports from the forum are that Farnell usually beat their delivery estimates.

For European customers, the customer is asked whether they are "consumer" or "buisness". If the customer selects buisness, they are taken back to Farnell's regular website to order. If the customer selects consumer, they are taken to a dedicated Raspberry Pi site which only offers a small selection of Raspberry Pi related products and gives no information on stock status. Farnell's site claims that consumers who do not have a previous account cannot use the "buisness" option but it is not clear if this is actually true for all countries. For some countries consumers are directed to third party resellers. The order code for the Raspberry Pi is 2191863.

===Element14===
http://www.element14.com
The "Element14" brand is used by a number of different operations within the Premier Farnell group and is also used for the groups "social" operation. In the Asia-Pacific region the Element 14 brand has completely replaced the previous "Premier Electronics" brand for asia and the previous "Farnell" brand for australia and new-zealand. In Europe, the Element14 brand is used in paralell with the Farnell brand. In North america the Element14 brand is used in parallel with the Newark brand.

===Newark===
http://www.newark.com/
Newark is the main American branch of the Premier Farnell group (Farnell's parent company). As of 2012-11-21, they are out of stock of Raspberry Pi's, but claim 1321 Expected to ship 2012-11-26 and Further stock expected to ship 2012-12-20.

===Element14 AU/NZ===
http://au.element14.com/ http://nz.element14.com/
On Element14's Australian operation (which also serves New Zealand) as of 2012-11-21 availability is listed as "please call" and "supplier lead time" is listed as 30 days. The order code for the Raspberry Pi is 2191863.

===Element 14 Asia===
http://cn.element14.com/ http://hk.element14.com/ http://in.element14.com/ http://cn.element14.com/ http://kr.element14.com/ http://my.element14.com/ http://ph.element14.com/ http://sg.element14.com/ http://tw.element14.com/ http://th.element14.com/
Element14 have warehouses in Singapore and Shanghi. It appears that some countries are served from both warehouses while others are served from only one or the other. UK stock is also listed on these sites. As of 2012-11-21, Element14's Asian operation has 331 Raspberry Pi's in stock in Shanghi and 617 Raspberry Pi's in stock in Singapore. The order code for the Raspberry Pi is 2191863.

===CPC===
http://cpc.farnell.com/
CPC is a branch of the Premier Farnell group in the UK based in Preston. As of 2012-11-21, they have 3100 Raspberry Pi's in stock. The order code for the Raspberry Pi is SC12590.

===MCM===
http://www.mcmelectronics.com/
MCM is a branch of the Premier Farnell group in the US based in Centerville, Ohio. As of 2012-11-21, they are out of stock and give an estimated ship date of 2012-12-07.

==RS components==
http://rswww.com/
RS are the other main distributor. Like Farnell they have a consumer site and buisness option with the consumer option taking users to a dedicated Raspberry Pi store while the buisness option takes them back to the regular RS site. They do not state whether consumers must use the consumer site or not. The order code for the Raspberry Pi is 756-8308. As of 2012-11-21, the Raspberry Pi is listed as "Temporarily out of stock - back order for despatch 21/12/2012".

RS has delayed existing orders on several occasions and are reported on the forum as being very difficult to communicate with.

===Allied electronics===
http://www.alliedelec.com/
Allied electronics is the US sister company of RS. The order code for the Raspberry Pi is 70229569. They website does not give a predicted dispatch date and state that "the estimated delivery time is uncertain and will likely take several months".

Reports from the forum are that Allied are easier to communicate with than RS, but they do not appear to be being kept will informed of the stock situation by RS.

==Licensed Manufacture==
The foundation has chosen to license manufacture of the Raspberry Pi, which should provide several advantages including:

# The involvement of RS Components and Premier Farnell means that build volume can be increased much, much faster than would have been possible otherwise. Due to costs and working capital, the foundation would have been limited to batches of only 10k Raspberry Pi's; the Raspberry Pi will now be being built to match demand.
# Both Premier Farnell and RS Components have worldwide distribution networks, so wherever you are in the world, you will be able to buy from a local distributor. It’s a much better way for you to buy than getting them all shipped from the Foundation in the UK.
# Both RS Components and Premier Farnell will be taking preorders, something which the foundation would otherwise be unable to do.
# The foundation will still receive a percentage from the sale of every Raspberry Pi sold, which will be put straight back into the charity.
# Primarily, by removing the focus on dealing with manufacture, distribution and sales, this frees up the limited resources of the foundation to focus on the original aims and goals of the project.

Additional detail is available in the [http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/02/28/2347222/raspberry-pi-now-has-distributors----and-will-soon-have-boards-for-all-video video interview between Eben Upton and SlashDot here (2012-02-28)].

Unfortunately the switch to licensed manufacture has also resulted in a marked reduction in transparency of the process as Farnell and RS consider detailed information of what is going on to be confidential.

==What You Get In The Box==
1. Pre-Assembled Raspberry Pi board

2. A sheet containing a combination of regulatory information and some very brief instructions. 

''Note:''

''1. The board will be supplied assembled (since most of the components are not suitable for home builds, including the BGA<ref name="BGA">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array</ref>package mounted SoC<ref name="SoC">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip</ref> and PoP<ref name="PoP">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_on_package</ref> memory).''
''2. The board has the GPIO header pins for the primary GPIO header (but not the secondary GPIO header added on the revision 2 boards) populated. The SoC JTAG may or may not be present depending on when the board was manufactured and at which factory but aren't really of use to end users anyway due to the lack of Broadcom documentation. The LAN JTAG header does not seem to be present on any boards.
''3. All other connectors will be assembled in place.''

==Accessories==
To use the Raspberry Pi, a user will typically require some accessories. All of the Raspberry Pi vendors listed above sell some accessories, but the exact range varies. Accessories you should consider include.
* USB Power Supply (UK/EU/US Compatible)<ref>http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/is-the-raspberrypi-going-to-be-sold-as-a-kit/#p32289</ref>
* SD card. Most distributors are selling pre-prepared SD cards which are usually 4 GB. Software is available to prepare your own SD cards.
* There is a wide choice of cases, most distributors will have some but shopping around for one you like is suggested.
* There are a variety of [[Rpi expansion boards|AddOn/Expansion Boards]] now available, see that page for more details.
''See [[RPi Hardware Basic Setup#Typical Hardware You Will Need | Typical Hardware You Will Need]] for details about other items you may require.''

==Price==
The price is $35USD before shipping, duty, and tax, about $60 after.

Although the foundation is UK based, the guide price of the units are in USD since the Raspberry Pi components are sourced in USD$.

The price is $25USD (~£16GBP) for model A (not yet avalable), and $35USD (~£23GBP) for model B.

Items will be subject to local tax (that is, UK will have 20% VAT added) and shipping cost is not included.

See the following update on [http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/826 RS Components and Farnell global pricing] (2012-03-13).

==Clones & Copies==
The foundation plans to release all the required schematics and plans to reproduce the Raspberry Pi hardware, so clones and copies will be welcome.

However, since the unit is built around the Broadcom SoC, the interested party will require suitable sized orders to obtain them. The foundation were fortunate enough to be supported in this aspect by Broadcom to enable the project to be feasible.

==Historic information==

# The foundation have built an initial run of 10,000 Model-B units.
# Due to extreme demand, the units were NOT sold directly from the [http://www.raspberrypi.com shop] (see [[#Licensed Manufacture]] below).
# You may buy a Raspberry Pi from [http://www.element14.com/raspberrypi Farnell] or from [http://rswww.com RS Components]
# A limit of one unit per person was applied for the first batch and some time afterwards

* There were reports that several people ordered multiple units at launch,
however it appears that Farnell removed any excess items when they reviewed
and confirmed the order for shipping dates.
This has also appears to apply for the pre-orders they have taken.
Many customers also ordered from both Farnell and RS.

===1st Batch Order FAQ===
NOTE: While every attempt has been made to provide accurate information,
this FAQ is not official and is based on what information is available at the time of writing.

====Press Releases====
'''Farnell:'''

[http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-43262/l/frequently-asked-questions-about-raspberry-pi/?CMP=SOM-TW-e14RasPiFAQ Post-Launch FAQ by Farnell], see their attached docx file for details.

'''RS Components:'''

[http://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=raspberrypi&file=questions&cm_sp=raspberrypi-_--_-questions Raspberry Pi, Your Questions Answered by RS Components]

====Q: Couldn't this have been handled better, I couldn't get on the site to order and they sold too quickly?====
Both distributors were indeed unprepared for the volume of traffic the launch generated (they were warned by the foundation before hand).

Chances are if the foundation had gone with their original plan of selling through their own shop, the situation would have been far worse, with no option of pre-order either.

The distributors only have 5,000 units each to sell, reports have estimated the registered interest/pre-orders totalling over 2 million (no official figures available yet).
Even if it is half of that, it means the number of available units was less than 1% of the demand.

====Q: If interest was obviously so high, why only build 10,000 units?====
There is a big risk involved with building a large batch of units and selling them, and 10,000 units would take well over $250,000 in capital investment. For a very small charity, that is a massive task in itself. Much of that funding came from the Foundation Trustees' own personal investment.

Thankfully, the massive bonus of licensing out manufacture, is that the build rate is no longer limited by the foundation's own funding, which means there will be many more units available much sooner.

====Q: I've been unable to register an account with the distributor, as I am not a company?====
There have been several reported problems with individuals placing orders (that is, not having company accounts or details).

Both distributors "should" take orders from individuals. However, it appears each of the different localised sites may have different requirements so this will be investigated to ensure that this is corrected if needed.

Often, many of the company related fields on application are optional. If in doubt, contact their sales team for help.

====Q: Worldwide launch? It was not available here! ====
The distributors decided to make the units only available from selected locations. It appears the foundation were not made aware of this beforehand.

Considering the small number of available units, it would have been unlikely to have improved the situation.

Worldwide availability will be monitored, it is expected that they will be made available as soon as possible.

====Q: The price for the Raspberry Pi from Farnell versus the price from RS Components is different, why?====
Please see the following page for details about [http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/826 RS Components and Farnell global pricing] (2012-03-13).

====Q: I've only been able to register my interest, what now?====
Be patient, both distributors have said they will contact people when they have more details (alternatively keep an eye on their sites for news).

RS Components, in particular have only taken people's details, and according to the above [[#Press Releases | press-release]] will wait until they receive their allocated 5,000 units.

====Q: I registered on the Raspberry Pi Site's Mailing List, but I didn't get an email====
Unfortunately, the mail server had problems with sending out the 100K+ emails in time, it is believed the email was often marked as spam by a lot of email systems so was rejected or returned on-mass, or sent to Junk folders. Yes, this system should have been tested, but the foundation were keen not to send unnecessary emails to people prior to launch.

The email contained the same information about the announcement as was publicly posted on the website (2012-02-28) before launch day, no additional or extra information was given through the email.

=Hardware=

The BeagleBoard is ''a low-cost, fan-less single-board computer based on TI's OMAP3 device family, with all of the expandability of today's desktop machines, but without the bulk, expense, or noise'' (from [http://beagleboard.org/ beagleboard.org]). It uses a TI [http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/omap3530.html OMAP3530] processor (ARM Cortex-A8 superscalar core ~600 MHz paired with a TMS320C64x+ DSP ~430MHz and an Imagination SGX 2D/3D graphics processor). See [http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/omap3530.html#features OMAP3530 features] for more processor features. [[BeagleBoard#Availability|Price is USD 149]]. The design goal was to make it as simple and cheap as possible, e.g. not having a LCD added, but letting you connect all add-ons available as cheap external components. See [http://beagleboard.org/brief What is Beagle?] and [http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS5852740920.html LinuxDevices article] for more details.

The videos [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fL_XMieanSc Beagle Board Beginnings] and [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FuVwh_VrIxk Beagle Board 3D, Angstrom, and Ubuntu] give you a good intro about what BeagleBoard is about and its capabilities.

==Errata==

# ''Boards revision A only'': The DC power jack pinout is incorrect on the PCB layout. DC_5V and GND are switched on PCB layout. Normally, the power jack has DC_5V on the center pin and GND on the sleeve (see Figure 20 of [http://www.beagleboard.org/uploads/BBSRM_6.pdf Beagle HW manual]). But on revision Ax boards the PCB layout has GND on center and DC_5V on sleeve. For this reason it is currently removed. It will be back on the Rev B board. Workaround is to remove wire connecting the two power pins on revision Ax boards and use external [http://amethyst.openembedded.net/~koen/beagleboard/beagle-power-pads.jpg power supply with switched connector] (do not connect anything to the “?” terminal. USB power will be permanently disabled and the board can only be powered from the 5 V.) See [http://www.flickr.com/photos/koenkooi/2512038988/ Koen's Beagleboard powermod picture] with short descriptions, too.
# ''Boards revision < A5 only'': There is excess voltage drop across R6 which is used to measure the current consumption on the board. This needs to be a .1 ohm instead of a 1 ohm resistor (SMD 0805). All revision A5 boards have been updated to .1. You can also just solder in a jumper to J2 bypassing the current read point. This issue can cause issues with the USB host port as the voltage supplied to that port can be too low.
# ''Boards revision A only'': User LEDs 0 and 1 are shorted on the layout preventing them from being controlled individually. You need to control both GPIO_149 and GPIO_150 to turn on or off both LEDs. This is fixed in the Rev B boards.
# ''Boards revision < A5 only'': There is an issue where on some boards the 1.8 V has excessive noise on it. This is the result of two incorrect parts L1 and L3 being installed on the board. The inductors that were initially installed in the switchers are 100uH and need to be 1 uH. This change will require that the board be returned for update. To check for correct parts, have a look to bottom of BeagleBoard. L1 - L3 are the larger parts there. They all have to be labeled with "102" (== 1uH). If any of these three inductors are labeled with "104" (== 100 uH) they are wrong and have to be exchanged.
# ''Boards revision A and B'': USB HOST (EHCI) failures. See [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/issues/detail?id=15 issue 15] and [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/USBHostTestREPRODUCE USB host test reproduce]. This is a hardware defect. [http://www.beagleboard.org/irclogs/index.php?date=2008-05-29#T00:27:06 Most probably] Rev. B board does not have the EHCI USB connector mounted. Workaround: Use [[BeagleBoard#OTG|OTG port]] with something like [http://trisoft.de/pics/ZHost.JPG mini A to USB A adapter] instead.
# ''Boards revision A and < B4'': Plugging in a USB OTG cable will prevent Beagle from booting (with Git kernel), see [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/issues/detail?id=19 issue #19], too. This is due to missing filtering capacitor at USB OTG VBUS. When the kernel driver detects that a USB OTG cable is inserted it enables the charge pump to generate VBUS. With no filtering VBUS looks like any switching regulator output with no filtering -- a huge voltage spike when the switch is on, followed by a rapid decay to a low voltage until the next switch on period. The capacitor is there to store energy between the output switch ON and OFF time, the feedback loop in the regulator does sample the cap voltage. Fix is to piggy-back solder a 0603 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to D3, see [http://www.sakoman.net/omap3/beagle/vbus-mod-d3.jpg VBUS modification D3 picture]. Revision B4 boards and newer have this fix applied. Thanks to [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/msg/eb789e15c99a673d Steve] for debugging this!
# ''Boards revision A and < B5'': There is some issue with a 32 kHz clock depending on system configuration used to clock some OMAP3 peripherals. From this e.g. GPIOs, GPTIMERs, and USB on BeagleBoard might be affected. See [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/issues/detail?id=22 Issue 22]. The symptom from this is that after booting the Linux kernel, the serial console hangs after some time and no serial input/output is possible any more. There is one software workaround and one hardware fix for this: (A) Software workaround: Don't use the 32 kHz timer to clock Linux, instead use the MPU timer. (B) Hardware workaround: Remove [http://www.flickr.com/photos/25691331@N04/2766671437/in/pool-beagleboard capacitor C70], which improves the 32 kHz clock quality and avoids hang-up. Note: Revision A boards have capacitor C70 [http://www.flickr.com/photos/25691331@N04/2766671437/in/pool-beagleboard at the same location] as rev. B boards. Note: Board revision >= B5 removes capacitor C70.
# ''Random boards, quite rare, revision < B6'': Some random boards and quite rare, show directly after purchasing broken serial communication from the host PC to BeagleBoard. Symptom is that you get a new board, get serial output from BeagleBoard in terminal program, but can't type anything at U-Boot prompt (Note: Don't mix this with errata #7. With errata #7 you are able to use U-Boot normally, but the Linux prompt input stops after some time). Most users don't have this issue, though. So, first double check your serial configuration ([[BeagleBoardFAQ#Serial_connection_.231|FAQ1]], [[BeagleBoardFAQ#Serial_connection_.232|FAQ2]] and [[BeagleBoardFAQ#Serial_connection_.233|FAQ3]]). Only if you are really, really sure that anything with your serial connection is fine, consider sending the board back doing a [http://beagleboard.org/support/rma RMA request]. This issue was resolved on revision B6 and later boards.

For additional (software) issues and enhancement requests see [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/issues/list Beagle board open point list & issue tracker], too.

Note: BeagleBoard revision B6 uses different package for U9/U11.

==Clocking==

Some [http://www.beagleboard.org/irclogs/index.php?date=2008-07-08#T21:12:23 notes] about (ARM processor) clock rates at BeagleBoard:

* ARM Cortex-A8 processor is currently clocked at 500 MHz
* 500 MHz is the default used because it is a balance of performance and longevity
* For OMAP35x 600 MHz is maximum recommended
* An additional 720 MHz overdrive is supported only on high-speed grade OMAP3530/25 devices as fitted to the BeagleBoard C4
* At 600 MHz or higher OMAP35x is considered to be 'overdrive' and it does not have the same life expectancy
* Higher than 600/720 MHz is out of specification and no guarantee it will work at all (or not damage itself)

* Also keep in mind that if you go higher you probably want to increase the core voltage. Some of this is mentioned in tables 3-3, 4-15 and 4-16 of the [http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/omap3530.pdf OMAP3530 data sheet]. Some numbers:

{| border="1"
||'''ARM'''||'''DSP'''||'''core voltage'''
|-
|720 MHz||520 MHz||1.35 V
|-
|600 MHz||430 MHz||1.35 V
|-
|550 MHz||400 MHz||1.27 V
|-
|500 MHz||360 MHz||1.2 V
|}

* For some OMAP3 clock, voltage and power management discussion see [http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/sprt495/sprt495.pdf OMAP3 power management white paper], too.
* The OMAP3 chip on the Beagle lacks the efuses needed for using the SmartReflex technology, see [http://www.beagleboard.org/irclogs/index.php?date=2009-02-26#T10:44:24].
* There is a thermal monitor in the core, you could use to scale frequency up and down

To set the CPU clock to 600 MHz, there are two options. Both '''do not''' adjust the voltage, so the system may become unstable:

* The U-Boot command "mw 48004940 0012580c" will temporarily set the CPU clock to 600 MHz (not permanent over reset).
* To permanently set the CPU clock to 600 MHz, include the above command in the "bootcmd" variable or equivalent script.

* To set the DSP clock to 430 MHz use "mw 48004040 0x0009ae0c".

==Power management==

* Detailed OMAP3 Power Management Information can be found [[OMAP_Power_Management|HERE]]
* Latest Linux kernel power management development for TI OMAP SoCs is maintained in [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-omap-pm.git;a=summary Kevin's linux-omap-pm git tree]
* Russ' Beagle HW modifications resulted in [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/197a8ef6b46cc828 8 mW sleep for Beagle Board]

Without PM kernel, the Beagle [http://digitalsurveyinstruments.com/beagleperiphials/solarcomputer/index.htm consumes ~1.5 watts idle, however it also uses the same amount under load] (see bottom of that page).

==DLP Pico projector==

Texas Instruments is developing a Pico Video Projector Kit (PVPK) as a peripheral for the BeagleBoard. The stand-alone pico projector will support VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels), RGB 888 input through a DVI interface. The physical connector on the projector will be HDMI. See [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/msg/10e218972380ee48 mailing list] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tUBXD-KRp4 Beagle Running Angstrom (VGA) on DLP Pico Projector] for more details.

It is available from [http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=296-23836-ND DigiKey] for $349.

See [http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/01/tis-beagleboard-and-dlp-pico-projec.html article from Make], too.

==Interfacing to Raw LCD Panels==

Currently on Rev A / B boards there is no direct access to the LCD lines before they enter the DVI framer. The REV C2 provides access to these lines. Several projects to interface an LCD to the BeagleBoard exist:

When ordering over 65 EUR / GBP 50 product (BeagleBoard is above), for Europe the price depends on the actual dollar to EUR/GBP rate. On nov 9, 2008 the price was EUR 124 with free shipping.

Note: Some users report that they got some questions from DigiKey to be answered before board shipping is done.

Note: While you get free shipping, most probably you have to pay tax, for example, ordering from Europe. Users report that they had to pay EUR ~34 - 44 VAT + importing taxes (depending on european country), resulting in EUR 137 - 147 ordering from Europe.

Note: For European users, [http://www.ebv.com/fileadmin/products/Press_Print/Campaigns/2009/Product_Campaigns/Texas_Beagle_Board_englisch.pdf EBV Elektronik] sells its own blue version of the board for 179 EUR, which includes all useful accessories (DVI cable, serial cable, USB 2.0 Ethernet, USB hub, 2 GB MMC, power supply, Linux BSP).

Note: German (Europe) users can order through German shops, too. For higher price, though.
* [http://shop.embedded-projects.net/product_info.php/info/p159_BeagleBoard--OMAP-3-.html Embedded Projects Shop] sells BeagleBoard for EUR 199.00 + shipping.
* [http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=Beagle%20Board Handheld-Linux] sells BeagleBoard for EUR 159.00 + shipping.
* [http://www.watterott.com/en/BeagleBoard Watterott electronic] sells BeagleBoard for EUR 142,80 + shipping.

See below for ''hardware'' differences of the revisions. There are no ''software'' differences.

==Revision A==

There are some limited early revision Ax prototypes out there used by some hackers hanging around at #beagle channel on irc.freenode.net. See [[BeagleBoard#Errata|errata]] for limitations.

==Revision B==

Revision B is same as revision A, except
* fix for shorted LEDs 0/1
* fix for wrong power jack pinout
* revision B6 uses different package for U9/U11
Still has USB HOST (EHCI) failures. USB HOST (EHCI) connector isn't mounted.

There are 4 revisions of the B board in the field: B4, B5, B6 and B7.

The most notable difference is the use of the ES3.0 silicon in B6 and B7, other changes are not relevant to software developers.

==Revision C2==
Revision C2 is same as revision B7 except:
* USB HOST (EHCI) is operational on revision C2, with standard USB A female connector.
* Add interface for raw LCDs ([http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/msg/2e82c3ed6061d9d2 mockup])
* It uses updated OMAP3 revision. BeagleBoard revisions B4+B5 uses OMAP3 ES 2.1 (engineering sample), while BeagleBoard revision C2 uses ES 3.0. OMAP3 ES 3.0 fixes minor issues:
** updated ARM Cortex A8 silicon (r1p3) fixing a very rare [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardFAQ#NEON_performance NEON issue] that has not been seen in real code
* Power measurement feature
* Uses [http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tps65950.html TPS65950] OMAP power controller instead of TWL4030
* Three additional PWM signals on the expansion connector added as pin mux options to existing pins ([http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/d5872b7c6d74592c?hl=en# message])
* Revision detection (to be able to identify C2 board from older boards by software, for example, for different pin mux)
* 256 MB RAM ([http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/msg/3a38d0f21cefd6b1?hl=en message]) (and still 256 MB NAND like rev B)

Note: Revision C2 is the first production version, and all orders from Digi-Key are shipped as Rev C2.

==Revision C3==
As revision C2 boards are [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/msg/e41d3c97aa7d4951 sold out], revision C3 will ship now.

Revision C3 is same as revision C2 [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/msg/037318fbc44139d5 except]:
* Optional RTC [http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/1454-battery-lith-coin-3v-12-5mm-vert-vl-1220-vcn.html VL1220 series] backup battery
* Mounting holes conected to ground
* Slightly improved S-Video

==Revision C4==
Revision C4 boards are the same as Revision C3 except:
* Processor is 720 MHz capable OMAP3
* Improved USB Host PHY power rails

==Revision C5==
Revision C5 boards are the same as Revision C4 [http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBoard#Image_Files except]:
* The memory chip is upgraded to 512 MB NAND

==JTAG==

Depending on your JTAG tool, you'd need a 14-pin to 20-pin adapter to use an ARM debugger. The 14-pin TI JTAG connector is used on BeagleBoard and is supported by a large number of JTAG emulation products.
See [[BeagleBoardJTAG]] for more information.

==RS-232==

The pinout on the BeagleBoard is "AT/Everex" or "IDC10". You can buy [http://www.pccables.com/07120.htm IDC10 to DB9M adapters] in many places as they are commonly used for old PCs. Depending on your local configuration, you may need a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem 9-Pin NullModem] cable to connect BeagleBoard to serial port of your PC. From [http://www.tincantools.com/ TinCanTools] there is a [http://www.tincantools.com/product.php?productid=16144&cat=0&page=1&featured RS-232 DB-9 adapter] and [[media:flyswatter-ti-uart.pdf|adapter schematic]] available. You can also probably rip one of those cables out of any old desktop computer, where it's being used to support the serial port. Be careful, though -- some of those cables will have that tenth hole filled in so you'd have to snap off the extraneous pin on your BeagleBoard. Keep looking until you find a cable with all 10 holes open.

Depending on your local configuration, you may need a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem 9-Pin NullModem] cable to connect BeagleBoard to serial port of your PC. From [http://www.tincantools.com/ TinCanTools] there is a [http://www.tincantools.com/product.php?productid=16144&cat=0&page=1&featured RS-232 DB-9 adapter] and [[media:flyswatter-ti-uart.pdf|adapter schematic]] available.

==USB-to-Serial Converter==

Since many systems no longer come with an actual serial port, you might need to pick up a USB-to-serial converter at your local computer store to connect to your BeagleBoard. Be warned that some of them simply do not work. Many of them are based on the Prolific chip, and require the pl2303 module to be loaded. But even when two converters appear to have exactly the same characteristics as listed in /var/log/messages, if you simply can't get one to work, be ready to try a different one.

==USB==
There are two USB ports on the BeagleBoard, one with an EHCI controller and another with an OTG controller. As of Rev B4, the usb EHCI has been removed because of a hardware defect. Rev C will include USB EHCI working properly.

===EHCI===
The HS ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_signalling HighSpeed]) USB [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHCI ECHI] controller on OMAP3 on BeagleBoard supports high-speed only. This simplifies the logic on the device. FS/LS (FullSpeed/LowSpeed) devices, such as keyboards and mice, require going through a high-speed USB 2.0 hub.

According to the BeagleBoard System Reference Manual Rev C2, the EHCI port can source 5 V at 500 mA which is enough to power a hub and several low-power devices. However, this is only true if the BeagleBoard is powered through its power jack from a well-regulated 5 V external power supply. If the BeagleBoard is powered through the OTG port, the EHCI port sources an "extremely limited" ampount of power (probably 100 mA or so) so you'll need a "self-powered" USB 2.0 hub with its own external power supply. [Reference: Sections 5.6 and 7.2 of the BBSRM Rev C2.2.]

'''Hardware issue on rev C3''' - the EHCI port on some rev C3 boards is unstable and will disconnect hubs/devices. Symptoms are: devices are disconnected from the port and cannot be reconnected without a reboot. It appears the shared 1.8 V rail between the OMAP3530 and the power chip was getting noisy. Suggested solution (works on many boards) is adding a 22 µF 0805 package SMT capacitor atop the existing capacitor on C97. If SMT parts are not available, some boards can be repaired by a 22 µF through-hole capacitor across GND and VIO_1V8 on the expansion connector. See [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/5b8385f0bb1f63da] for more information.

===OTG===
The HS USB OTG ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go OnTheGo]) controller on OMAP3 on the BeagleBoard does have support for all the USB 2.0 speeds (LS/FS/HS) and can act as either a host or a gadget/device. The HS USB OTG port is used as the default power input for the BeagleBoard. It is possible to boot the BeagleBoard using this USB port.

When using the OTG port in host mode, you must power the BeagleBoard using the +5 V power jack. If you connect a USB hub, you'll probably also need external power for the USB hub as well, because according to the Hardware Reference manual the BeagleBoard OTG port only sources 100 mA. This is enough to drive a single low-power device, but probably won't work with multiple devices.

The Linux kernel needs to know you want to use the OTG port in host mode. I believe OTG ports are supposed to figure this out for themselves using the OTG Host Negotiation Protocol, but for now the Linux kernel may need some help. Specifically, Pin 4 (ID) of the OTG connector needs to be shorted to Pin 5 (GND) by using a [http://trisoft.de/pics/ZHost.JPG 5-pin USB Mini-A plug] which shorts these pins together in the plug. A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_cables 5-pin USB Mini-B plug] leaves Pin 4 floating. Unfortunately, most USB Mini plugs are unmarked as to whether they are "A" or "B".

You can find "mini A" adapters that have Pin 4 shorted and offer out a full-sized USB A Female jack [http://www.electronicproductonline.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2043 here.]
<table>
<tr><td>
Since the right cables might be hard to get, you simply can
* short circuit the two pins encircled in red in the image to the right. You can do this by running a wire between the two pins. That at least allows easier undoing the change. Actually you could even have a small switch or so between 4 and 5.
or
* use a "mini B" cable (easier to get) and try the soldering of the two pins at the cable's connector. Depending on the cable it should be possible to open the plastic covering of mini-B port with a sharp-edged knife, then solder the two pins together, close the covering again and use some tape. This leaves the BeagleBoard unmodified.
</td><td>[[Image:usb_otg.png]]</td></tr></table>
The Rev C BeagleBoard has a pair of pads labeled J6 on the back of the board under the OTG connector. Shorting these pads together with a wire or solder blob connects pins 4 and 5.
See Figure 20 in the BeagleBoard System Reference Manual Rev C2.2.

==DVI==

DVI-D connection on BeagleBoard uses an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI HDMI connector]:

''HDMI is backward-compatible with the single-link Digital Visual Interface carrying digital video (DVI-D or DVI-I, but not DVI-A) used on modern computer monitors and graphics cards. This means that a DVI-D source can drive a HDMI monitor, or vice versa, by means of a suitable adapter or cable, but the audio and remote control features of HDMI will not be available.''

BeagleBoard can be connected to a DVI monitor using an HDMI male to DVI male cable.

The BeagleBoard does not connect the HDMI shell to ground or any other BeagleBoard signal. This is not a problem with high-quality HDMI to DVI cables that connect all the ground wires. However, there are lots of cheap HDMI to HDMI cables that do not connect the ground wires and only use the shell as a combined shield and ground. To use one of these you would need to connect the BeagleBoard's HDMI shell to ground. The BeagleBoard-xM connects the HDMI shell to frame ground, which is in turn connected to system ground through R119. For more information, see this thread: [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/861da101804da56b].

== Arduino ==

* [[BeagleBoard_Trainer|Trainer Board]] from [http://www.tincantools.com TinCanTools] has an Arduino compatible Atmel AVR on board
* Arduino [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNano Nano] uses an FTDI FT-232 based interface which is supported by the ftdi_sio kernel driver- [[BeagleBoard_with_Arduino|How To Notes]]
* Arduino [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardUno Uno] uses a Atmel ATmega8U2 based interface which is supported by the cdc_acm kernel driver - [[BeagleBoard_with_Arduino|How To Notes]]

=BootRom=

OMAP3 on BeagleBoard contains a BootRom. With this, BeagleBoard can boot without any code in permanent storage (NAND) or from peripherals. This is useful for first board bring up or if your BeagleBoard is bricked. For more information about BootRom booting see the Initialization chapter of [http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruf98 SPRUF98].

==User button==

With user button on BeagleBoard you can configure boot order. Depending on this button, the order used to scan boot devices is changed. The boot order is (the first is the default boot source):

* User button ''not'' pressed: NAND -> USB -> UART -> MMC
* User button ''is'' pressed: USB -> UART -> MMC -> NAND

Technically speaking, the user button configures pin SYS.BOOT[5]. See the Initialization chapter of [http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruf98 SPRUF98] for more details.

==Serial and USB boot==

Historically, using OMAP3's boot ROM for serial and USB boot, there are several tools around. The newest are Nishanth' ''OMAP U-Boot Utils'', while there are still some older tools for serial boot and USB boot. It is also possible to access the [[u-boot environment variables in linux|U-Boot environment from Linux]].

===OMAP U-Boot Utils===

Nishanth' [http://code.google.com/p/omap-u-boot-utils/ OMAP U-Boot Utils] provide

* ''pserial'' - OMAP specific utility which downloads a file in response to ASIC ID over serial port.
* ''pusb'' - OMAP specific utility which downloads a file in response to ASIC ID over USB connection.
* ''ucmd'' - Send a command to U-Boot and wait till a specific match appears.
* ''ukermit - Download a file from host without using kermit to U-Boot.

See [http://nishanthmenon.blogspot.com/ Nishanth' blog] and [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/c5bfb1b8ed528b52# announce mail], too.

===Serial boot===

Besides Nishanth' ''OMAP U-Boot Utils'', to boot from USB or UART, you need a PC tool which talks with OMAP BootRom and speaks the correct protocol to download ARM target code to BeagleBoard. Currently there is one tool for UART boot:

* [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/80ad3da0eb2aa555 Linux C utility] (not working yet with below target code)

See [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/ae2c601ebe104a4 USB and serial download target code] for some example target code to be downloaded to OMAP3 on BeagleBoard.

===USB boot===

There is a patch to x-loader to allow it to do a USB boot. It can boot all the way to a Linux login.
It's is used with a new version of omap3_usbload.

* [http://members.efn.org/~rick/pub/x-loader-usb.tar.bz2 x-loader-usb]

Besides Nishanth' ''OMAP U-Boot Utils'', for USB boot, there is currently one (experimental) tool to boot BeagleBoard over USB:

* [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/2b9e99886bb7a747 Linux C utility]

See [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/ae2c601ebe104a4 USB and serial download target code] for some example target code to be downloaded to OMAP3 on BeagleBoard.

See the [[BeagleBoardRecovery#USB_recovery|USB recovery section]] on how to use USB boot for board recovery.

==NAND boot==

See [[BeagleBoardNAND|NAND boot]] article.

==MMC/SD boot==

Currently, [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BootingBeagleBoard boot the BeagleBoard with MMC/SD] is the only working way for first board bring up.

===MMC/SD formatting===

As described in above MMC/SD boot description, you have to ''create a bootable partition on MMC/SD Card''. This can be done using, for example, Windows or Linux tools.

'''Windows'''

See ''HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.0.6'' description on [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BootingBeagleBoard boot the BeagleBoard with MMC/SD] page.

You can download this tool from [http://www.sysanalyser.com/sp27213.exe here]. Make sure the version is 2.0.6; newer versions may not work.

'''Linux'''

Please see [http://wiki.omap.com/index.php?title=MMC_Boot_Format OMAP3 MMC Boot Format].

===Dual partition card===

You can [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat create a dual-partition card], booting from a FAT partition that can be read by the OMAP3 ROM bootloader and Windows, then utilizing an ext2 partition for the Linux root file system.

To mount second ext2 partition as root file system (e.g. containing contents of [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleSourceCode rd-ext2.bin]) use kernel boot arguments (for example, in U-Boot using ''setenv bootargs''):

console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait

===U-Boot booting===

If your MMC/SD card formatting is correct and you put [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleSourceCode MLO, u-boot.bin and uImage] on the card you should get a U-Boot prompt after booting the BeagleBoard. For example (output from terminal program with 115200 8N1):

...40T.........XH.H.U�..Instruments X-Loader 1.41
Starting on with MMC
Reading boot sector

717948 Bytes Read from MMC
Starting OS Bootloader from MMC...

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Apr 2 2008 - 13:42:13)

OMAP3430-GP rev 2, CPU-OPP2 L3-133MHz

DRAM: 128 MB
Flash: 0 kB
NAND:256 MiB
In: serial
Out: serial
Err: serial
Audio Tone on Speakers ... complete
OMAP3 beagleboard.org #

Using this U-Boot prompt, you now can start kernel uImage stored on MMC card manually:

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # mmc init
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # fatload mmc 0:1 0x80000000 uimage
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # bootm

If you like to make that happen every boot:

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # set bootcmd 'mmc init ; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80000000 uimage ; bootm' ; saveenv

Note: saveenv will not work on the xM. You will need to create a <tt>boot.scr</tt> file in the FAT partition for the xM. See [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/BeagleBoardxMSDCard#Set_up_u-boot set up u-boot] 
Note2: after a saveenv, u-boot will not read your boot.scr any more. To make it use boot.src again, type "nand erase" in the u-boot promt (works on C4, older versions may need a "nand unlock" too).

===Barebox booting===

You can also use barebox to boot.

On barebox you will have to generate it two time.

The first time as a x-loader via defconfig: omap3530_beagle_xload_defconfig

The second time as the real boot loader omap3530_beagle_defconfig

=Code=

Code and binaries for BeagleBoard are available at various places.

==Binaries==

BeagleBoard pre-built binaries and source code can be found at [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleSourceCode Beagle source code] and [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/downloads/list downloads] page. These are the locations where "official" TI code is available. Please note that this code is mainly for reference and testing. More up to date binaries and code is available by community. Community took (parts) of TI reference code, improves and updates it.

Actually, [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/node/47 Koen's prebuilt BeagleBoard demo images] are up to date binaries including e17 as window manager, the AbiWord word processor, the gnumeric spreadsheet application, a NEON accelerated mplayer and the popular NEON accelerated omapfbplay which gives you fullscreen 720p decoding. The [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard] directory should contain all the files you need:

See the [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat beagle wiki] on how to setup your SD card to use all this goodness.

==Source==
'''Update on April 23 - 2010''': Sources for the X-Loader and U-Boot that ship on the BeagleBoard can be found at [http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-validation/ http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-validation/]. The U-Boot version found in that repository supersedes the one found at [http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-default-u-boot/beagle_uboot_revc4/ http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-default-u-boot/beagle_uboot_revc4/].

'''Update on March 3 - 2011''': Sources for the SD card shipped with revisions Ax and Bx of the BeagleBoard-xM are in the Angstrom Distribution. The script used to build the sources is documented at http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext. The sources at http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-validation are meant to mimic what was used in the OpenEmbedded-based build.

Besides above binary and source images (TI's and communities one), for various parts of Beagle software stack there are community supported [http://git.or.cz/ git] repositories available.

===X-Loader===

Steve did some work to consolidate and update X-Loader from various sources and put it in a [http://gitorious.org/x-load-omap3 X-Loader git repository]. Get it by

git clone git://gitorious.org/x-loader/x-loader.git xloader
cd xloader/

Build:

make distclean
make omap3530beagle_config
make

Result will be a ~20k sized ''MLO'' in the main directory. This is the signed x-loader and is ready for use.

===U-Boot===

[http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/WebHome Mainline U-Boot] has good support for BeagleBoard (except for revision C4; see note below). Get it by:

git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git u-boot-main
cd u-boot-main
git checkout --track -b omap3 origin/master

Build (assuming [[ARMCompilers#Recommendations|Code Sourcery GCC]]):

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- mrproper
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap3_beagle_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

Result will be a ~160 KB sized ''u-boot.bin'' in the main directory.

Note: Due to (patch and binary) size, the BeagleBoard splash screen was removed from upstream version. If you want it back, use [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/3ad9b803a3418624 U-Boot v1 BeagleBoard splash screen patch].

Note: For experimental U-Boot patches not ready for mainline yet, Steve's [http://www.sakoman.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot-omap3.git;a=summary Beagle U-Boot git repository] is used to test them. Get it by:

git clone git://gitorious.org/u-boot-omap3/mainline.git u-boot-omap3
cd u-boot-omap3
git checkout --track -b omap3-dev origin/omap3-dev

Note: For changing the screen resolution there is one option modifying the file in "include/configs/omap3_beagle.h" and adjusting the maximum resolution before compiling as describe in [http://gitorious.org/linux-omap-dss2/linux/blobs/master/Documentation/arm/OMAP/DSS ARM OMAP2/3 Display Subsystem]

Note: For beagleboard revision C4, above sources will not work. USB EHCI does not get powered, hence devices are not detected...

('''Update on April 23 - 2010''': This repository has been superseded by the U-Boot version found at [http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-validation/ http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-validation/])

Note: If you want to activate I²C from the expansion header, modify board/ti/beagle/beagle.h :

MUX_VAL(CP(I2C2_SCL), (IEN | PTU | EN | M4)) /*GPIO_168*/
MUX_VAL(CP(I2C2_SDA), (IEN | PTU | EN | M4)) /*GPIO_183*/

to

MUX_VAL(CP(I2C2_SCL), (IEN | PTU | DIS | M0)) /*I2C2_SCL*/
MUX_VAL(CP(I2C2_SDA), (IEN | PTU | DIS | M0)) /*I2C2_SDA*/

===Linux kernel===

[http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git;a=summary Git repository] of [http://muru.com/linux/omap/ OMAP Linux kernel] contains Beagle support. Get it by:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git linux-omap
cd linux-omap

Build:

make distclean
make ARCH=arm omap2plus_defconfig
make ARCH=arm menuconfig # Only needed if you want to change the default configuration
make ARCH=arm uImage

The result will be a ''uImage'' in ''arch/arm/boot/'' directory.

'''Note: The following does not work. There is no defconfig "omap3_beagle_defconfig" nor any omap3 in the tree.'''

If you use the OE toolchain and want to build outside of the OE tree you should do

ARCH=arm
export ARCH
PATH=~/oe/tmp/cross/armv7a/bin:~/oe/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin:$PATH # add cross tools to your path
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- distclean
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- omap3_beagle_defconfig
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig # only needed if you want to change the default configuration
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- uImage

Note: the staging dir in the path is for mkimage. If you've built a kernel before with oe, the program should be there

Note: If you are interested in kernel development have a look to [[BeagleBoardLinuxKernel|manually compiling BeagleBoard kernel]], too.

===Experimental kernel patches and hacks===

Some BeagleBoard developers maintain their own kernel experimental patches and hacks not ready for upstream:

=Compiler=

TI OMAP3530 processor on BeagleBoard contains an ARM Cortex-A8 general purpose processor and a TMS320C64x+ DSP.

==ARM==

There is broad compiler support, including GCC - please see [http://www.elinux.org/ARMCompilers ARM Compilers]

==C64x+ DSP==

A free C64x DSP compiler is available as [https://www-a.ti.com/downloads/sds_support/targetcontent/LinuxDspTools/download.html Linux hosted C6x Code Generation Tools] (TMS320C6000 C/C++ CODE GENERATION TOOLS 6.1.3 July 2008).

Note: my.TI account required. You may create an account [https://my.ti.com here]

Note: An pld c6000 Linux compiler is available on the [ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/cs/linux_cgt500.tar.gz TI FTP site]. It does NOT support c64x+ core in OMAP3 devices. Not recommended.

You can also use the [http://focus.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspsupportaut.tsp?familyId=44&sectionId=3&tabId=416&toolTypeId=30 full-CCS free evaluation tools for 120 days], but they currently require purchase to upgrade to service release 9 to support full JTAG debugging with supported JTAG hardware.

See [[BeagleBoard/DSP_Howto| BeagleBoard DSP howto]] for information about how to use the DSP.

=Cortex A8 ARM features =

ARM Cortex-A8 in OMAP3 is a high performance dual-issue applications processor which reaches a performance of 2.0 DMIPS/MHz (compared to ARM11 at 1.2 DMIPS/MHz). It is ARM v7 architecture, which is fully backwards compatible with application code for previous ARM processors.

It includes a floating point unit (ARM VFPv3 architecture) and the ARM NEON SIMD instruction set.

See [http://pandorawiki.org/Floating_Point_Optimization Floating Point Optimization] article for an introduction into VFP-lite and NEON.

===ARM NEON===

NEON is a 64/128-bit wide SIMD vector extension for ARM, which has been architected to be an efficient C compiler target as well as being used from assembly language. It has 32x 64-bit registers (with a dual view as 16x 128-bit registers) which can hold the following datatypes:
* 64-bit signed/unsigned
* 32-bit signed/unsigned
* 32-bit single precision floating point
* 16-bit signed/unsigned
* 8-bit signed/unsigned

The key advantage of NEON is very high performance vector math processing, whilst being easy to program. It is the same thread of control as the ARM (but different instructions), and is supported by the same tools, debuggers and operating systems.

The NEON instruction set is documented in ARM's [http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0204i/DUI0204I_rvct_assembler_guide.pdf RealView Compilation Tools Assembler Guide].

For NEON optimized libraries, see [http://www.us.design-reuse.com/news/18429/aac-mp3-mpeg-4-h-264-fft-openmax-cortex-a8-neon-arm11-processors.html ARM Releases AAC, MP3, MPEG-4, H.264 and FFT OpenMAX DL Libraries, Highly Optimized for Cortex-A8/NEON and ARM11 Processors]. Note: Read the [http://www.arm.com/products/esd/openmax_v7libraries.html EULA].

NEON is used by various opensource projects:
* [http://www.libav.org/ Libav] - libavcodec used by mplayer, omapfbplay, and many other Linux applications

=== ARM Cortex-A8 Floating Point ===

There are two types of instructions in the ARM v7 ISA that handle floating point:

1) '''VFPv3''' Floating point instruction set (used for single/double precision scalar operations).
These is used by GCC for C floating point operations on 'float' and 'double' since ANSI C can only describe scalar floating point, where there is only one operation at a time.

2) '''NEON''' [http://www.arm.com/products/multimedia/neon/ NEON] vectorized single precision operations (two values in a D-register, or four values in a Q-register)
These can be use by GCC when -ftree-vectorize is enabled and -mfpu=neon is specified, and the code can be vectorized. In other cases, the VFPv3 scalar ops will be used.

ARM Cortex-A processors have separate floating point pipelines that handle these different instructions.

On Cortex-A8, the designers' focus was on the NEON unit performance which can sustain one cycle/instruction throughput (processing two single-precision values at once) for consumer multimedia. The scalar VFPv3 FPU cannot achieve this level of performance (cycle timings are in the Cortex-A8 TRM download), but it is still a lot better than doing floating point using integer instructions.

If you need the highest performance floating point on Cortex-A8, you need to use single precision and ensure the code uses the NEON vectorized instructions:
* Use GCC with -ftree-vectorize (possibly modify source code to make it vector friendly)
* Use NEON instrinsics (#include <arm_neon.h>, float32x2_t datatype and vmul_f32() etc)
* Use NEON assembly language directly

On Cortex-A9, there is a much higher performance floating point unit which can sustain one cycle/instruction throughput, with low result latencies. OMAP4 uses dual-core Cortex-A9+NEON which gives excellent floating-point performance for both FPU and NEON instructions.

=Board recovery=

If you played, for example, with the contents of the [http://www.sakoman.net/omap3/flash%20procedure.txt NAND], it might happen that the BeagleBoard doesn't boot any more (without pressing user button) due to broken NAND content. See [[BeagleBoardRecovery|BeagleBoard recovery]] article how to fix this. Do not panic and think you somehow 'bricked' the board unless you did apply 12 V to it.

=Development environments=

Instead of just using compiler + editor, you can use complete image create "development tool chains" which integrate compiler, build system, packaging tools, etc. in one tool chain.

==OpenEmbedded==

For [http://www.openembedded.org/ OpenEmbedded] (OE), there are some hints how to [http://www.beagleboard.org/irclogs/index.php?date=2008-04-29#T13:06:25 start with OE for BeagleBoard]. See [[BeagleBoardAndOpenEmbeddedGit|BeagleBoard and OpenEmbedded Git]],[[BeagleBoardOpenEmbeddedDevelopment|OpenEmbedded development]] and [http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Getting_Started OpenEmbedded getting started] as well.

In the OE getting started document, for BeagleBoard replace ''MACHINE = "om-gta01"'' by ''MACHINE = "beagleboard"''. After confirming ''bitbake nano'' works, try ''bitbake console-image''. The first time you run bitbake OE will download all the needed source and build the tool chain. This will take several hours. After all went fine, the output is in ''${OE_ROOT}/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard''.

Note: Koen has some BeagleBoard [http://amethyst.openembedded.net/~koen/index.php?path=beagleboard/ source and binary images] built with OE. There, ''Angstrom-console*'' images don't include an X server, you can still use a e.g. DVI-D screen with console, but you won't have a GUI. ''Angstrom-x11*'' images contain an X server.

===One very important note:===

It's important to have an X-Loader on your BeagleBoard that uses the uImage on the SD card that goes with Angstrom. The B6 BeagleBoards do not appear to come with such an X-Loader. So you likely will have to upgrade the X-Loader. Here's what to do:
* Make an SD card with the [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard Angstrom Demo files]. See the [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat Beagleboard Wiki Page] for more information on making the SD card.
* Put the SD card in the BeagleBoard, and boot up to the U-Boot prompt.
* Do the first six instructions in the [http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleNANDFlashing Flashing Commands with U-Boot] section.
* Reboot the BeagleBoard to see that the new X-Loader is properly loaded.

This will update the X-Loader to a newer version that will automatically load uImage from the SD card when present -- rather than always using the uImage in the BeagleBoard NAND.

==Eclipse==
The Eclipse [http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/ C Development Tools Project] provides a fully functional C and C++ integrated development environment (IDE) for the Eclipse platform. The Eclipse [http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/ DSDP Target Managment Project] provides a "Remote System Explorer" (RSE) plugin that simplifies downloading files to the BeagleBoard and editing files on the BeagleBoard within the Eclipse IDE. A Linux Target Agent is available as part of the [http://wiki.eclipse.org/DSDP/TM/TCF_FAQ Target Communications Framework (TCF) component]. Information on how RSE is used for, for example, Gumstix development is described in [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/509831f7c24cb79f# this post].

See also [[BeagleBoardEclipse|Using Eclipse with Beagle]] (for JTAG debugging).

==Android==
The [http://source.android.com Android] platform is a software stack for mobile devices including an operating system, middleware and key applications. Developers can create applications for the platform using the [http://code.google.com/android/ Android SDK]. Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux kernel.

There are several resources for Android on OMAP (Beagle) available:

==Java==

===Open source===

When using the [[BeagleBoard#OpenEmbedded|OpenEmbedded]]-based Angstrom image you have the following options of Java support:
* JamVM + GNU Classpath (small vm, fast interpreter, J2SE-like)
* Cacao + GNU Classpath (JIT compiler, J2SE-like)
* PhoneME Advanced Foundation (JIT compiler, CDC)

Java support in OpenEmbedded/Angstrom ([http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Java details]) is provided voluntarily through [http://jalimo.org Jalimo].

See a [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/102f627253919783# post at mailing list], too.

OpenEmbedded users can add the [http://evolvis.org/scm/?group_id=11 Jalimo Subversion repository] as an overlay (instructions are in the repository). This will allow them to build OpenJDK packages. Inclusion of these recipes in mainline OpenEmbedded is planned but still ongoing.

The recipes offer the following functionality:

* OpenJDK + Hotspot (Zero port) (all J2SE functionality, including JVMTI, interpreted only)
* OpenJDK + Cacaco (all J2SE library features, missing JVMTI, decent JIT compiler)
* OpenJDK + Hotspot (Shark port) (not working yet)

[http://camswl.com/ Edward Nevill] from ARM Ltd. is working on interpreter optimization in Zero for ARM.

People interested in getting this stuff working better should contact people on:

== Booting Android (TI_Android_DevKit) from a USB stick ==
'''Please note'''
* This procedure was tested on BeagleBoard-xM revision B(A3)
* An SD card will be still needed to load the kernel.
* An SD card will contain boot parameters for the kernel to use a USB stick as the root filesystem

'''Procedure'''
# Download Android Froyo for BeagleBoard-xM from [http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/TI_Android_DevKit/02_00_00/index_FDS.html TI]
# Follow the installation procedure for an SD card card.
# Test if Froyo is working with your BeagleBoard-xM with an SD card.
# You will notice that Android has a slow performance. That is why we will install root filesystem on a USB stick.
# Format your USB stick and create one ext3 partition.
# Mount newly created ext3 partition and extract TI's root filesystem to it: sudo tar jxvf rootfs_am37x.tar.bz2 -C /media/ROOT
# Unmount flashdisk and insert it into the BeagleBoard.
# Mount your SD card to your computer.
# Now we need to tell the BeagleBoard to use the root filesystem from the /dev/sda1 partition instead of the SD card partition. That is done by overwriting boot.scr on the SD card with [http://www.apksoft.eu/android/boot.scr this one]
# Unmount the SD card and insert it into the BeagleBoard and test.

=Graphics accelerator=

OMAP3530 used on BeagleBoard contains a graphics accelerator (SGX) based on the SGX core from [http://www.imgtec.com/ Imagination Technologies]. [http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/powervr-graphics.asp PowerVR] SGX530 is a new generation of programmable PowerVR graphics and video IP cores. Only the kernel portions of Linux drivers will be open source. The PowerVR folks will provide binary user-space libraries. Using the EMail contact at [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbugencontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12700&contentId=27458 TIs Mobile Gaming Developers page] there are Linux v2.6 OMAP3430 SDKs for OMAP3 Zoom and SDP supporting OpenGL ES v2.0, OpenGL ES v1.1 and OpenVG 1.0 available.

''(For BeagleBoardAngstrom, click [[BeagleBoardAngstrom|here]].)''

This page is about running a distribution (ARM [http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort EABI]) [http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] at [[BeagleBoard]]. BeagleBoard will boot the (ARM EABI) Ubuntu distribution from the [[BeagleBoard#MMC.2FSD_boot|SD card]]. Since much of this page is generic, it has also be extended to help support devices such as the [[PandaBoard]] and [[BeagleBone]].

* For the best experience, make sure you have an LCD/HDMI monitor attached to the BeagleBoard's HDMI port, 2 GB/4 GB/8 GB SD card, and a known good USB 2.0 hub with mouse and keyboard.

= Help =

If you need any help:

*Kernel related help:
** [http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard Email Beagleboard user group] *Recommended method
** ''#beagle'': Beagle IRC on Freenode, accessible also by [http://beagleboard.org/discuss web interface] ([http://www.beagleboard.org/irclogs/index.php logs])
** Kernel Tree's
*** [https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel Stable Kernel 3.2.x source code]
*** [https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev Development Kernel source code]

*Ubuntu related help:
** ''#ubuntu-arm'': Ubuntu's ARM IRC on Freenode ([http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ logs] -> year -> month -> day -> #ubuntu-arm.html)

*When asking for help, please provide some debugging information:
** U-Boot Version installed on board
** Kernel Version: uname -a
** pastebin dmesg
*** Copy from serial port or use "dmesg | pastebinit" (sudo apt-get install pastebinit)

= Required Beagle Software =

Angstrom's X-loader/MLO & U-Boot
* All old Ax, Bx, and Cx boards are required to upgrade to at least these MLO and U-Boot versions.
* XM Boards have no NAND, so u-boot.img is always required on the first partition
* Directions: [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Upgrade_X-loader_and_U-boot Upgrade X-loader and U-Boot]

= Omap Serial Changes =

boot.scr/boot.cmd changes:

With 2.6.35:
console=ttyS2,115200n8

With 2.6.36/37+:
console=ttyO2,115200n8

Serial console login: /etc/init/ttyO2.conf
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyO2

== Canonical/Ubuntu Images ==
Support:
''#ubuntu-arm'': Ubuntu's ARM IRC on Freenode ([http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ logs] -> year -> month -> day -> #ubuntu-arm.html)

Canonical only supports certain boards with images, at this moment.
*BeagleBoard xM -> "omap"
*PandaBoard & PandaBoard ES -> "omap4"
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAP

==Demo Image==

* These demonstration images contain a custom Mainline based kernel with experimental enhancements to the boards supported. They are usually updated about once a month, as new features/enhancements get added by the community. Currently, this image ships with two kernel's "x" which is for mainline omap3+ devices (BeagleBoard/PandaBoard) and the "psp" which is for specifically the BeagleBone, as much of the kernel support for this device is currently in a TI Git kernel tree on [http://arago-project.org arago-project]. The kernel is stress tested by a farm of Panda/Beagle's running 24/7 under a heavy load (building gcc trunk/mainline kernel).

* '''Advanced Users only''': Beagle/Panda Kernel source, used in these demo images: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel
git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel.git
cd stable-kernel
./build_kernel.sh

If you don't know the location of your SD card:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc

You should see something like

Are you sure? I Don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:

mount:
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) '''<- x86 Root Partition'''

* In this example, we can see via mount, '''/dev/sda1''' is the x86 rootfs, therefore '''/dev/mmcblk0''' is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

** --swap_file <swap file size in MB's>
** --addon pico <ti pico projector>
** --svideo-ntsc <use ntsc over dvi for video)

You should now be able to unmount the SD card from you PC, insert into your board, reboot and have the OS loaded.

If you don't know the location of your SD card:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc

You should see something like

Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes '''<- x86 Root Drive'''
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes '''<- MMC/SD card'''

mount:
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) '''<- x86 Root Partition'''

* In this example, we can see via mount, '''/dev/sda1''' is the x86 rootfs, therefore '''/dev/mmcblk0''' is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

Install image:

Quick install script for "board"
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot "board"

"board" options:
*BeagleBoard Ax/Bx - beagle_bx
*BeagleBoard Cx - beagle_cx
*BeagleBoard xMA/B/C - beagle_xm
*BeagleBone Ax - bone
*PandaBoard Ax - panda
*PandaBoard ES - panda_es

So for the BeagleBoard xM:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_xm

*Additional Options
** --rootfs <ext4 default>
** --swap_file <swap file size in MB's>
** --addon pico <ti pico projector>
** --svideo-ntsc <use ntsc over dvi for video)
** --svideo-pal <use pal over dvi for video)

You should now be able to unmount the SD card from you PC, insert into your Board, reboot and have the OS loaded.

For a basic '''framebuffer''' driven desktop environment: (make sure network is setup):
Ethernet: "sudo ifconfig -a" and "sudo dhclient usb1" or "sudo dhclient eth0"
Wireless: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Wifi_Networking_.28command_line.29

Then run:
/bin/bash /boot/uboot/tools/ubuntu/minimal_lxde_desktop.sh

Advanced: Build Image:

Built with a fork of project-rootstock (ARM native mode, run directly on BeagleBoard), using a script from omap-image-builder:

git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder.git
cd omap-image-builder
git checkout v2012.9-2 -b v2012.9-2
touch release
./build_image.sh

= Method 2: Use the NetInstall method=

You will need a 1 GB/2 GB SD card or greater.
Standard system : ~700 MB

== Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) ==

git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall.git
cd netinstall

Install script for "board"
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot "board" --distro precise-armhf

"board" Options:
*BeagleBoard Ax/Bx - beagle_bx
*BeagleBoard Cx - beagle_cx
*BeagleBoard xMA/B/C - beagle_xm
*BeagleBone Ax - bone
*PandaBoard Ax - panda
*PandaBoard ES - panda_es

So for the BeagleBoard xM:
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_xm --distro precise-armhf

*Options:
**--uboot : beagle_bx, beagle, panda
**--distro : maverick, oneiric
**--firmware : installs firmware
**--serial-mode : debian-installer uses Serial Port

Place SD card into BeagleBoard and boot:

Configure the network:
usb0: USB net <- (usually the OTG port)
eth0: USB net <- (usually the smsc95xx adapter on the BeagleBoard and PandaBoard)
wlan0: Wifi <- Your USDB-Wi-Fi device..

Troubshooting: If boot fails..
*Hold the user button down to force booting from MMC
*Upgrade X-loader and U-boot [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Upgrade_X-loader_and_U-boot Upgrade X-loader and U-Boot]
*Clear U-boot's Environment Variables in nand:
nand erase 260000 20000

NetInstall assumptions:
Continue with out Kernel Modules <yes>
Partition <Guided - use the largest continuous free space>

= Method 3: Manual Install (no automatic scripts)=

For this section, you can use the files from above:
Demo Images: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Demo_Image
Rootstock: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Build_an_Ubuntu_root_file_system_with_RootStock

BUT it assumes you have your own kernel uImage/modules from any of the many sources..

== Partition SD Card ==
You will need a 1 GB SD card or greater.
Standard Console System : ~286 MB
+ Desktop environment (lxde,gdm) : ~479 MB

Starting with an empty SD card and using gparted, create:
50 MiB Primary Partition, FAT16/FAT32
Rest as ext2/ext3/ext4/btrfs

First, blank the MMC card's partition table with parted: (/dev/sdX as an example)
sudo parted -s /dev/sdX mklabel msdos

With fdisk: (note: GNU Fdisk doesn't work..)
sudo fdisk /dev/sdX << __EOF__
n
p
1

+64M
t
e
p
w
__EOF__

Make sure to set the partition boot flag
sudo parted --script /dev/sdX set 1 boot on

And format it as vfat:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/sdX1 -n boot

The rootfs partition, doesn't need any special options, so just use fdisk, gparted, etc. to create and format your rootfs partition..

Gparted Example: http://nishanthmenon.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-boot-beagle.html

== Boot Partition ==

Requirements:

Mount the fatfs partition of your SD card.

Mount such as: (/dev/sdX1 is the fat Boot Partition)
mkdir -p ./tmp
sudo mount /dev/sdX1 ./tmp

=== MLO and U-Boot ===

==== Beagle/Beagle xM ====
Download and copy MLO and U-Boot from here:

First download "http://rcn-ee.net/deb/tools/beagleboard/MLO-beagleboard-v2012.07-r1" as MLO to the Boot Partition
Then download "http://rcn-ee.net/deb/tools/beagleboard/u-boot-beagleboard-v2012.07-r1.img" as u-boot.img to the Boot Partition

==== BeagleBone ====
Download and copy MLO and U-Boot from here:

First download "http://rcn-ee.net/deb/tools/beaglebone/MLO-beaglebone-v2012.07-490-ga6f0c4f-r0" as MLO to the Boot Partition
Then download "http://rcn-ee.net/deb/tools/beaglebone/u-boot-beaglebone-v2012.07-490-ga6f0c4f-r0.img" as u-boot.img to the Boot Partition

==== Panda/Panda ES ====

Download and copy MLO and U-Boot from here:

First download "http://rcn-ee.net/deb/tools/pandaboard/MLO-pandaboard-v2012.04.01-r2" as MLO to the Boot Partition
Then download "http://rcn-ee.net/deb/tools/pandaboard/u-boot-pandaboard-v2012.04.01-r2.img" as u-boot.img to the Boot Partition

=== U-Boot Boot Scripts ===
The version of U-Boot installed or recommended to install uses boot scripts by default. This allows users to easily switch between multiple SD cards with different OS's with different parameters installed. Ubuntu/Debian requires a slight modification to the bootargs line vs. Angstrom, 'ro' vs 'rw'.

fixrtc: (only uInitrd) Resets RTC based on last mount
buddy=${buddy}: (both) Kernel Zippy1/2 Support
mpurate=${mpurate}: (recommended core clock)

==== boot.scr -> uEnv.txt ====
Newer version's of u-boot now look for a uEnv.txt file vs the older boot.scr, since most boards still use the older boot.scr here's an easy compatibility script:

create a new file: uEnv.txt
bootenv=boot.scr
loaduimage=fatload mmc ${mmcdev} ${loadaddr} ${bootenv}
mmcboot=echo Running boot.scr script from mmc ...; source ${loadaddr}

Umount the boot partition:

sudo umount ./tmp

== RootFS Partition ==
Root File System

Mount your SD card's larger root file system partition (assuming /dev/sdX2) and 'untar' the rootfs into it.

mkdir -p ./tmp
sudo mount /dev/sdX2 ./tmp
sudo tar xfp armel-rootfs-*.tgz -C ./tmp
sudo umount ./tmp

== Ubuntu Bugs & Tweaks ==

===Enable Network Access===

Modify /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Manual: From the command line
sudo ifconfig -a
sudo dhclient ethX (or wlanX/etc..)

Additional network setup information can be found [[BeagleBoardUbuntuNetwork|HERE]].

==Install Latest Kernel Image==

===Script File===

Latest Stable is: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel

export DIST=oneiric (options are lucid/maverick/natty/oneiric/precise/squeeze/wheezy)
export ARCH=armel (options are armel/armhf (armhf only for precise))

Beagle/Panda
export BOARD=omap

BeagleBone
export BOARD=omap-psp

wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/${DIST}-${ARCH}/LATEST-${BOARD}
wget $(cat ./LATEST-${BOARD} | grep STABLE | awk '{print $3}')
/bin/bash install-me.sh

Reboot with your new uImage.

== Upgrade X-loader and U-boot ==

Compatible with old Ax, Bx, and Cx BeagleBoards

Note: Sometimes on these older boards, you just have to clear out the stored U-Boot environment variables in nand to make this script work:
nand erase 260000 20000

Requires MMC card..

git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/flasher.git
cd flasher

For the Beagle Bx
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_bx

For the Beagle Cx
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_cx

1: Plug Serial Cable in and Start Serial terminal program
2: Place MMC card in Beagle
3: Push and hold the user button
4: Plug-in power
5: Wait for U-Boot countdown to finish, and let off user button
6: Wait for flashing/script to end
7: Power down, remove and reformat MMC card to final OS

If you don't know the location of your SD card:
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --probe-mmc

You should see something like

Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes '''<- x86 Root Drive'''
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes '''<- MMC/SD card'''

mount:
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) '''<- x86 Root Partition'''

* In this example, we can see via mount, '''/dev/sda1''' is the x86 rootfs, therefore '''/dev/mmcblk0''' is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./mk_mmc.sh...

== SGX Video Acceleration ==

=== SGX armel/armhf v3.4.x+ ===
* Note: This is a still a work in progress, but so far all the basic sgx demos seem to work on my Beagle xM C... Thanks to TI for the special armhf binaries!!! --[[User:RobertCNelson|RobertCNelson]] 19:48, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

* Test with: Precise/12.04 armhf demo image with v3.4.5-x1, desktop was lxde via: "sudo apt-get install lxde lxde-core lxde-icon-theme"

==== Re-Build Kernel and SGX Kernel Modules ====

== Xorg omapfb Drivers ==

By default Ubuntu will try to use the FBDEV video driver, however for the BeagleBoard we can take advantage of a more software optimized driver (still not using the sgx video hardware) using the NEON extensions of the Cortex-A8 core.

== Changing DVI output resolution ==

Ubuntu 10.10 above defaults to a resolution of 1284x768@16. This is set in the boot.cmd file in the boot partition of the SD card. To change the resolution the DVI output, edit boot.cmd accordingly then recreate the boot.scr file by:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "Ubuntu 10.10" -d ./boot.cmd ./boot.scr

Then reboot the BeagleBoard.

== S-Video ==
''(For configuring S-Video on Angstrom, click [[BeagleBoardAngstrom#Configuring_uEnv.txt_to_set_s-video_as_the_default_display|here]])''.

===Process for setting up S-Video===

S-video is tested to be working on 2.6.35-rc5-dl9. BeagleBoard s-video output has traditionally been enabled by "using bootargs (boot arguments) at uboot". In newer versions of the BeagleBoard, the developers have made things easier by instructing U-Boot to look for a .scr file about a dozen lines long that is called cmd.boot.scr, and then follow said parameters. In Angstrom, no boot.scr file is needed, instead, an even easier system is used, where a simple editable .txt file called uEnv.txt containing these parameters suffices (Env is for "environment"). For some reason, in the Ubuntu download files, typically there a bit of convoluted process where uEnv.txt is called up, uEnv.txt says "Go read conf.boot.scr", and cmd.boot.scr sets up the s-video.

To make cmd.boot.scr, create a text file named cmd.boot, then convert it into a .scr file with mkimage by running the following commands on the terminal:

First, you will probably need to get mkimage with apt-get. Run

sudo apt-get install mkimage

Next, convert your cmd.boot.scr

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n 'Execute uImage' -d boot.cmd boot.scr

===Bootargs: make this cmd.boot to set s-video===

* NTSC

omapfb.mode='''tv:ntsc'''
omapdss.def_disp='''tv'''

Bootargs that has been validated.

setenv bootargs 'console=tty0 console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait ro vram=12M omapfb.mode=tv:ntsc omapdss.def_disp=tv
fixrtc buddy=unknown'

===Screen cutoff problem===

NTSC resolution is supposed to be 640x480. However the edge bands around the TV screen differ from TV to TV. Output of '''fbset''' shown below:

mode "720x482-30"
# D: 13.500 MHz, H: 15.734 kHz, V: 29.970 Hz
geometry 720 482 720 482 32
timings 74074 16 58 6 31 64 6
rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
endmode

Depending on your TV device, and what desktop you are running a certain amount of screen cutoff is likely to occur. This is called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan overscan]. Typically, around 5-10% of the left and right edges of display are off the screen (using Ubuntu with xfce). This seems to be due to the fact that there is only one display resolution that is set for NTSC:  720 X 482. It is not possible to change this setting in the xfce4 Settings Manager like one would normally be able to do, because other options are greyed out/do not exist. Normally, even if the Settings Manager did not allow for it, a different resolution setting could be obtained by editing the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf-4, or some similar place. HOWEVER there is no xorg.conf file in the Beagle version of xfce. xrandr shows the display is set to the minimum of 720x574. Adding an xorg.conf does not fix the problem, because Beagle takes its (analog) display resolution settings directly from the display driver, where 720 X 480 (720 X 574 for PAL  ) is hard coded in.

An inelegant but usable workaround for the xfce desktop environment is simply to create vertical and horizontal panels that fill up the space that is cut off on the screen. This is not a complete solution, but at least it will prevent maximized windows from going off into nowhere land.

Truly fixing this would involve going into the display driver and reprogramming it to include additional S-video settings besides just NTSC and PAL. Specifically, to make the whole framebuffer fit on the screen you would need to adjust the overlay in the display driver, the OMAP DSS2. (Didn't test this yet. Some pointers from the driver's documentation below)

/sys/devices/platform/omapdss/overlay? directory:
enabled 0=off, 1=on
input_size width,height (ie. the framebuffer size)
manager Destination overlay manager name
name
output_size width,height
position x,y
screen_width width
global_alpha global alpha 0-255 0=transparent 255=opaque

== Using a File for Swap Instead of a Partition ==

On the Bealgeboard you should expect to need a swap file given the limitation of how much RAM they have (between 256 MB and 512 MB). Some system programs like apt-get will only run properly when some swap space is present (due to 256 MB not being enough RAM).

Some images such as those from Linaro.org do not come with a swap partition or any swap space allocated.

Under Linux swap space can be either a dedicated partition or a single file. Both can be mounted as swap which the OS can access.

=== Creating a Swapfile ===

The following commands will create a 1 gigabyte file, lock access to only root, format it as swap and then advertise it to the OS.

sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/swap/
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/cache/swap/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
sudo chmod 0600 /var/cache/swap/swapfile
sudo mkswap /var/cache/swap/swapfile
sudo swapon /var/cache/swap/swapfile

To ask the OS to load this swapfile on each start up, edit the /etc/fstab file to include the following additional line:

/var/cache/swap/swapfile none swap sw 0 0

To verify that the swapfile is accessilble as swap to the OS, run "top" of "htop" at a console.

== Wi-Fi Networking (command line) ==

=== /etc/network/interfaces ===

It is possible and relatively easy to configure a Wi-Fi card from the command line.

You will need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file. There are several guides available via Google.

This is a particularly useful guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834

A sample /etc/network/interfaces file for a WPA2 encrypted access point is:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid <NAME OF AP>
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk < INSERT KEY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>

Your Wi-Fi card will automatically load these settings on start up and give network access.

== Lightweight window managers ==

If you intend to use Ubuntu on the BeagleBoard you can install JWM or IceWM to improve performance.

JWM in particular uses little RAM. On a BeagleBoard with 256 MB, using JWM will leave about 60 MB free to run applications in.

== Web Apps ==

=== Midori ===
Given that the BeagleBoard has fewer resources than a desktop a light-weight browser is more responsive. Midori is a light-weight browser that still supports flash, etc. It is available from the standard repositories.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_%28web_browser%29

== Surveillance ==

=== Motion ===
If you have a video source (webcam, IP cam, etc.) which appears as /dev/video0, etc. then you can use the Linux surveillance software "motion" to monitor the video stream and record periods of activity.

Motion is also available from the standard repositories.
http://www.debian-administration.org/article/An_Introduction_to_Video_Surveillance_with_%27Motion%27
Using a 960x720 resolution webcam with a 15 fps rate under the UVC driver the Rev C BeagleBoard under Xubuntu reports ~60% CPU utilisation.

To make the BeagleBoard automatically start recording on boot do the following:

* Auto Login - run "gdmsetup" from a terminal and select a user to automatically login
* Sessions - make sure you don't save any previous X Windows sessions so that it doesn't prompt you for which one you want
* motion.conf - amend /etc/motion/motion.conf to the settings you want (that is, video output directory, record only video, record in MPEG-4, set frame rate, etc). Do this with "sudo medit /etc/motion/motion.conf" at a prompt.
* Boot script - create a new script in /etc/rc2.d called "S65motion_client" and set permissions appropriately ("sudo chmod 777 /etc/rc2.d/S65motion_client"). Then edit the file so it has the following text in it:

#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/motion -c /etc/motion/motion.conf

This will now launch the motion client as root when you boot up.

Also note that unless your BeagleBoard can remember the time (battery backed up clock installed) the timestamps will not be correct until you update the time. If your BeagleBoard has an Internet connection this can be achieved with the ntpdate application.

== Robotics ==

=== ROS ===
Willow Garage hosts the open source Robotic Operating System (ROS). Whilst it is natively supported in Ubuntu, the official packages are only for the x86 platform. ROS can be installed from source and is generally easy to do so (although slow).

Following the instructions from here will build and install ROS on your BeagleBoard:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/Ubuntu/SVN

You will need an Internet connection for your BeagleBoard for these scripts to work.
