Power Usage Notes
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 100mA. USB devices using more than 100mA had to be connected via a powered hub. The PI's PSU was chosen with a power budget of 700mA of which 200mA were assigned to the USB ports, so the Raspberry Pi's (poly)fuses were designed only for devices up to 100mA, and typical 140mA polyfuses will have as much as 0.6 volt across them when drawing currents near the 100mA 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 100mA current limitation for each USB port (but leaving the main fuse F3 intact). Users should still ensure their power supply can power the RPi and the USB peripherals. Revision 2.0 was released in August 2012.

Linux Driver Issues
Shortly after the Raspberry Pi was released it was 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.  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 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 PI through their interconnect cable, due to the 100mA limiting fuse in the PI the PI will be partially powered which may cause problems (unwanted writes to the SD card).

Working USB Hubs

 * Acme
 * USB 2.0 hub 4 port (ACME) Based on NEC μPD720114 USB2.0 Hub Controller USB ID 0409:005a  NOTE! It is bus-powered hub, but 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 RasPI, and additionally connect GND and +5v from power supply to the same holes on usb-hub GND and V. Now there is common contacts: GND, D+ and D- between RasPI and hub needed to work, and additional power for USB devices, connected to the hub. Tested on my RasPI.

 * 7-Port USB Hub DUB-H7 (See note below - doesn't work for all, apparently). Working model marked BUBH7A....A5.  Worked with Debian on production B model, for keyboard, mouse, and thumb drives, also worked with ArchLinux, didn't work with Bodhi Linux immediately thereafter. Recent model did not work with default raspbian firmware (3.1.9+ #272); updated firmware with rpi-update (to 3.2.27+ #66), now seems to work perfectly.
 * 4-Port USB Hub DUB-H4 Worked on Debian with keyboard, mouse, and thumb drive. Also tested with Raspbmc and external HD (powered through USB). While the hub has a charging port, which should be able to provide power enough to the RasPi (1.2 A), connecting the RasPi here doesn't work, as it seems the power is cut during boot (At least with hub hardware rev. C1). While it does boot from any of the other ports, it shouldn't be used it doesn't provide enough power (Standard 500 mA per port. Measuring at P1-P2 on the RasPi: ~4.45 V).

Problem USB Hubs
Please check known workarounds 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, wifi/mass storage is unreliable or broken. -- No error messages with the latest kernel, but still unstable with mass storage devices. Also, leaks current back to the Pi (can be fixed by overtaping GND and +5V pinouts)
 * F4U022 7-Port powered USB hub (powered 5v, 2.6A), 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 RPi, 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 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 Pi causing the power LED to light on the Pi if the hub is powered on but the Pi is not. The 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 Pi after booting the Pi - cannot ssh to the 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 RPi)
 * 4-Port High-Speed USB 2.0 Hub (USB-H40-A2.0), came with with a 1A power supply. Leaks power to the Pi through the uplink. Doesn't work with Pi, unless the 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 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 2A 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 w/ 1A Power Supply (Causes interference with other USB devices and sends enough power to light up the 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.
 * 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).  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 does not work for power hungry devices (HDD,WLAN). Doesnt boot when hub connected to RPi. The funniest thing is that RPi 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).


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


 * Targus
 * ACH115EU 7-port powered hub. 5V 3A power supply. Arduino communicates with RPi when connected directly to Pi's USB port, but it hangs soon 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. 1A power supply. Model B, Wheezy raspian works ok with keyboard/mouse but problems with WiFi 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)
 * Generic 7-port black hub with Genesys Logic GL850A chipset
 * Cerulian 10 Port USB 2.0 Top Loading Hub with 2A supply (kills mouse and network port)
 * USB 2.0 4 PORT INT/EXT DUAL HUB BAY -- Genesys Chipset -- idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0607 -- low speed devices worked, but strange USB failures when X session started. High speed devices such as hard drives had failures.

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 PI port, due to the fact that PS/2 keyboards are designed for normal 5V +-5% range, while USB keyboards must be designed to work with 4.4 Volt, and generally USB devices on the PI may receive less than 4.75 Volt. PS/2 + USB adapter keyboards might work behind a powered hub, which does provide the full 5.0V. 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.

Problem USB Mouse Devices
The following is a list of specific mouse devices that have problems working with the Raspberry Pi
 * A4Tech
 * Model G7-630 Wireless Mouse, 20mA. Part of wireless keyboard/mouse bundle GL-6630 (GL-6 + G7-630 + RN-10B) - suffers from USB flakeyness. Even on a powered hub. No problems on other computers I have tested it with.
 * HP
 * HP Retractable Mobile Mouse (Optical) HP Product Number XP472AA - errors / boot loop RASPBMC (B)removed mouse, started with no further errors.


 * 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. this says the mouse is 1000Hz out of the box, whereas the 518 is only 125Hz. 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

USB WiFi 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 here, which also acts as a guide for installing others too.

Working USB Wifi Adapters
These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, other adapters may well work, but have not yet been tried.

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

Working Ethernet adapters
lsusb output: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 9710:7830 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7830 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter This adapter works, but (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 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 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.

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  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  and comment out the last line;. If you are not user pi you may need to add your username to the audio group thus:  (user pi usually belongs to this group anyway).

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 Raspi USB bug.

USB GPS devices
sudo killall gpsd; sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
 * 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: Works but may draw 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 RPi. 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:


 * 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. 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 . Appears as , 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 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.

Touch Screen

 * ACER T230H touch screen
 * 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 5V at 0.5A 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 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 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 Pi.
 * Tested with latest raspbmc and debian wheezy raspbian, 3.1.9+ #168

USB RFID Reader

 * Unbranded 125KHz 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 RPi. Worked when connected via an unpowered Trust hub. Worked after RPi 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 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 RPi 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
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.
 * 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.

 * Not working: HP SK-2502 PS/2 keyboard (gets power but 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 5v. 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 PI's primary input fuse. HDMI ports (and the raspberry PI) are designed so that they deliver a very limited amount of power (50mA) 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 200mA, 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.


 * AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable (model SK231) works and is inexpensive.
 * A generic HDMI-to-DVI converter from eBay. Works well, but it's probably the cause of some power loss between the RPi and the monitor, causing 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 did not solve the problem completely.

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

Sanoxy HDMI to VGA converter, $27 from Amazon, no changes required with official Raspbian Wheezy image (2012-Jul-15), note: had already disabled overscan previously

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 RasPi 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 1A 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 RasPi 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 +5V connection adapted from a USB cable, which bypasses RasPi's Micro USB cable and polyfuse F3.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/KanaaN-Adapter-Converter-Cable-Resolutions/dp/B007QT0NNW -- "Kanaan" HDMI-VGA

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130699741793 -- eBay is swarming with $16 converters all like this one.

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. Requires HDMI boost and overscan, config.txt settings for 640x480@60Hz: hdmi_drive=2 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=4 config_hdmi_boost=4 overscan_top=-30 overscan_bottom=-30 overscan_left=-30 overscan_right=-30

According to user "Mortimer" -- HDFuryPro HDMI to YPbBr/VGA Converter found on Amazon -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inputs-Component-Video-YPbPr-Converter/dp/B00797ZZ4S/ -- Works with Raspberry Pi. 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. The config.txt settings used are: hdmi_drive=2 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=36 disable_overscan=1

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 are very pricey compared to 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 0.4A, which is too much draw for the 5V 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 not enough to justify the extra cost. The config.txt settings used are: hdmi_drive=2 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=36 disable_overscan=1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007SM7O2U/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 - "Cable Matters"

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. Very cheap but 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 60Hz, 1024x768 60Hz, 640x480 works) The adapter is based on Lontium LT8511A chip, but I was unable to get the spec for it. The D1 diode is getting very hot though. Most likely the adapter drives more than 200mA. The standard RS Components 1,2A usb power supply is able to provide enough power for the RPi 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 R-PI's RCA video output. Additionally using a splitter cable (3.5mm 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.


 * Generic - works

Composite->VGA converter boxes

 * | Extron DVS-204 - works no problem!

SD cards
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 : 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, in addition they are often mislabeled as having greater capacity than they really have. For example they might be sold as being 4GB, but are actually 2GB (or even less).

There were initially issues with most Class 10 SDHC cards, apparently due to a bug in the Broadcom bootloader.

This seems to have been fixed in sdhci.c: 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).
