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

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.


 * 3COM
 * 3CRUSB10075: ZyDAS zd1211rw chipset (!)
 * Asus
 * USB-N10 USB ID 0b05:1786, r8712u driver on Fedora Remix, must compile if on Debian 2012-04-13, requires firmware-realtek (B)
 * IOGear
 * GWU625 USB ID 0bda:8172, r8712u driver on Fedora Remix, must compile if on Debian 2012-04-13, requires firmware-realtek (B)
 * Netgear
 * N150: Reported as WNA1100 device, uses the Atheros ar9271 chipset. On Debian, requires the  package from the   non-free repository  (!)
 * WG111v2: Realtek rtl8187 chipset (!)
 * Tenda
 * USB 11n adapter on a G network: Ralink 2870/3070 driver (!)
 * TP-Link
 * TL-WN722N (ath9k_htc device with htc_9271.fw file from http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/htc_9271.fw) (B)
 * Generic
 * Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter USB ID 148f:2573, tested on debian 2012-04-13 img; must install firmware-ralink package (B)

Not working

These adapters do NOT work, or need further investigation to make them work:

(empty at the moment)

USB UART adapters
The 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.

Power adapters

 * HTC
 * TCP-300 Single port USB mains phone charger 5v 1A (B)
 * Stontronics
 * S2097ST switching PSU, 7.5V 1.6A (!) Note that the power connector and voltage requirements for production boards are completely different

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.

Working Cards
Known good (and pre-loaded) cards will be available for sale from RS and element14 at a later date (TBA).
 * Adata Class 10 8GB (AUSDH8GCL10-R)
 * Dane-Elec 16Gb class 4
 * Integral Ultima Pro 16GB Class 10 (20MB/s)
 * Kingston SD 2GB (no class mentioned)
 * Kingston SDHC 8GB class 4
 * Samsung SDHC 8GB
 * SanDisk Ultra 2GB Class 4 (15MB/s)
 * SanDisk Ultra II SD 2GB class 4
 * SanDisk 2GB (non sdhc but with a circle 2), writes at 3.5 Mb/s
 * SanDisk 2GB, white "SanDisk for Wii" branded, no class mentioned
 * SanDisk 8GB SDHC (class 4); writes at ~1.5MB/s
 * SanDisk 16GB SDHC (class 4)
 * Transcend SDHC 16GB class 10
 * Transcend SDHC 8GB class 6 (5.8 MB/s following RPi_Performance)
 * Transcend SDHD 4GB class 4 - we've found these to work without any errors and offer reasonable performance

works, but...

 * Kingston SDHC 4GB class 4 (works but gets mmc errors: mmc0: final write to SD card still running) Russel King might have a kernel patch for this problem.

Problem Cards
There are issues with most Class 10 SDHC cards, apparently due to a bug in the Broadcom bootloader.


 * Patriot Class 10 8GB (PSF8GSDHC10)
 * SanDisk Ultra Class 6 8GB (B11201421964G)

The usual warnings against less reputable sellers (such as Ebay merchants) apply.

Note that the following error is sometimes accompanied with a non-working SD card after booting (on Debian):

mmc0: timeout waiting for hardware interrupt
