== What is armhf ==<br />
<br />
The Debian Squeeze image originally issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation as the recommended distribution used "soft float" settings. The foundation found it necessary to use the existing Debian port for less capable ARM devices due to time and resource constraints during development of the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, it does not make use of the Pi's processor's floating point hardware - reducing the Pi's performance during floating point intensive applications - or the advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU.<br />
<br />
The [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads official Raspberry Pi distributions] are now optimized for ARMV6 and for "hard float" which should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks.<br />
<br />
There are some info on the news groups that "hard float" optimization can speed up floating point operating up to 10x, please read detailed discussion on the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=61497#p61497 Raspberry Pi forums].<br />

==Debian (Squeeze/6.x)==<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/]<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ Debian] was the default distribution on the Alpha boards. Boot time depends on width & speed of SD-card. Alpha board boot into Debian prompt (no GUI) was timed taking about 34 seconds.<br />
<br />
The Debian distro for Raspberry Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop) and Midori (browser); development tools; and sample code for accessing the multimedia functionality on the device.<br />
<br />
==Arch==<br />
<br />
[http://archlinuxarm.org Arch Linux ARM] is based on [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch Linux], which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs. For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />
<br />
Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://archlinuxarm.org<br />
<br />
==Raspbian==<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi + Debian = [http://www.raspbian.org Raspbian]. A project to create a hard float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in its early phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />

==ANDROID TRANSPORTER==<br />
The Android Transporter allows you to share display content wirelessly with remote screens in real time. Please be aware that the Transporter is still a technology study and it is missing the maturity of a full-featured product. However, we think that the Android Transporter is already exciting enough to let you play around with it. We believe that with the recently released Miracast standard you will get a very similar technology in upcoming Android devices, and we are considering making the Transporter compliant with the Miracast specs.<br />
<br />
QUICK START GUIDE<br />
Let’s start with the Asus Nexus 7.<br />
By installing the Android Transporter firmware on your Asus Nexus 7 all data on the device will be removed including the contents of the /sdcard directory! So maybe you want to backup some data before you begin.<br />
To start, enable USB debugging on your Nexus 7 by switching on this option under Settings -> Developer options.<br />
Next, unlock the bootloader of your Nexus 7 device. This will void your device warranty and it will also do a factory reset!<br />
Install the adb and fastboot utilities. On Microsoft Windows you will also need Google’s USB drivers. Just search the Internet for instructions how to install this tools.<br />
Unlocking the bootloader is done by getting the device into the bootloader using the adb reboot bootloader command. Now unlock it with the fastboot oem unlock command.<br />
[http://esrlabs.com/downloads/ESRLabs-Asus-Nexus-7-Android-Transporter-2012-10-04.zip Download] the Android Transporter firmware for the Asus Nexus 7 and unpack it. Reboot your Nexus 7 device into the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader. In the Android-Transporter directory you will find the flash script, which is called flash-all.sh. Be aware that the fastboot utility has to be available in the PATH environment for the flash script. Execute the flash script. Your Asus Nexus 7 is now ready.<br />
To switch back to the original Nexus 7 firmware image you should first download it from[https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi Google’s factory images site.] Then you can flash the original firmware image using the same instructions that you used to flash the Android Transporter firmware image.<br />
<br />
Let’s move on to the Raspberry Pi.<br />
[http://esrlabs.com/downloads/esrlabs-rpi-android-transporter-2012-10-02.zip Download] the Android Transporter firmware for the Raspberry Pi and unpack it. Insert an SD card into your card reader and flash the firmware image using the dd utility: sudo dd bs=1M if=esrlabs-rpi-android-transporter-2012-10-02.img of=/dev/sdX. Substitute /dev/sdX with the real SD card device name. For more information on flashing the Raspberry Pi see the Embedded Linux Wiki page for the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is now also ready.<br />
<br />
Next, you have to set up the networking between the two devices. You can either connect both devices to your home router or you can make use of the Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi hotspot. Both scenarios require the Raspberry Pi to be plugged into your home router. The Wi-Fi hotspot works with USB Wi-Fi adapters that are supported by the Realtek rtl8192cu Linux driver. We tested the Wi-Fi hotspot with the Netgear N150 Microadapter and with the Asus N13 Wi-Fi Stick. It works well with both Wi-Fi sticks except that we occasionally had some power consumption issues with the Asus device.<br />
If you want to make use of the Wi-Fi hotspot plug in the stick before the Raspberry Pi starts up. The network name of the Wi-Fi hotspot is RaspberryPiAP and the default password is E.S.R.Labs.<br />
The Wi-Fi hotspot may have the advantage that the Android Transporter has its own dedicated network to minimize the latency jitter during screen mirroring. If you connect both devices to your home router please make sure that the Wi-Fi transmitting power of your router is set to high. Otherwise you may experience high packet loss, which is bad for the Android Transporter.<br />
<br />
When you now connect your Nexus 7 to the Wi-Fi network and start the Android Transporter you should see the Raspberry Pi in the list of available media hubs. The Raspberry Pi has announced itself as media sink via service discovery. Just tap on the Raspberry Pi item to start the screen mirroring. If you want to stop the screen mirroring just pull down the notification bar and click the Android Transporter “Switch off” item.<br />
<br />
By default the Android Transporter will make use of the H.264 over RTP over UDP streaming protocols according to RFC3984. If you are in a building with a lot of Wi-Fi networks, it may be possible that the Android Transporter does not work really well because of high packet loss. If that is the case you should switch to the H.264 over RTP over TCP streaming protocols according to RFC3984 and RFC4571. You can do this in the preferences of the Android Transporter app. The latency will typically be around 20-30ms higher when using the reliable TCP transport protocol.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the Android Transporter tech demo .<br />
<br />
The Android Transporter is a custom ROM and not an app since we had to make adjustemts to various parts of the Android platform to make it happen.<br />
==DarkElec==<br />

==OpenELEC==<br />
<br />
OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run [http://www.xbmc.org XBMC], the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player or Sky box. Instead of having to manage a full operating system, configure it and install the packages required to turn it into a hybrid media center, OpenELEC is designed to be simple to install, manage and use, making it more like running a set-top box than a full-blown computer.<br />

==RasPlex==<br />
What is RasPlex?<br />
RasPlex is an Entertainment Center Solution for Raspberry Pi<br />
Simply put, RasPlex lets you turn your TV into a Smart TV. Similar to the AppleTV, but completely free and open source, RasPlex is basically a set-top box. Once RasPlex is stable, it will have support for legacy console game emulation (NES, SNES, etc), as well as Plex Channels (Netflix, Crackle, Youtube, etc). <br />
RasPlex is a Plex Home Theater Client <br />
More technically stated, RasPlex is a complete port of Plex Home Theater (formerly Plex Media Center) for Raspberry Pi. RasPlex currently runs on OpenELEC for reasons of limited man power, but there is a working raspbian port that just needs some time to be brought up to speed. RasPlex was created on Gentoo linux, but that port has since been abandoned for performance reasons. We regularly merge in changes from Plex Home Theater and OpenELEC. Once things cool off a bit and we are more stable (or we get the man power), we will maintain a raspbian release as well. <br />
RasPlex is the Perfect Companion to a Plex Media Server <br />
Many people will use expensive computers as Plex Clients, or have to go through the inconvenient of plugging a computer in to their TV every time they want to use Plex. With RasPlex, just plug it in and you're media is always ready. Put one on every TV, and have your media everywhere!<br />
You can even put RasPlex on your friend's TV's, and watch your media remotely.<br />

==Kali==<br />
Kali Linux Features<br />
<br />
Kali is a complete re-build of BackTrack Linux, adhering completely to Debian development standards. All-new infrastructure has been put in place, all tools were reviewed and packaged, and we use Git for our VCS.<br />
*More than 300 penetration testing tools: After reviewing every tool that was included in BackTrack, we eliminated a great number of tools that either did not work or had other tools available that provided similar functionality.<br />
*Free and always will be: Kali Linux, like its predecessor, is completely free and always will be. You will never, ever have to pay for Kali Linux.<br />
*Open source Git tree: We are huge proponents of open source software and our development tree is available for all to see and all sources are available for those who wish to tweak and rebuild packages.<br />
*FHS compliant: Kali has been developed to adhere to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, allowing all Linux users to easily locate binaries, support files, libraries, etc.<br />
*Vast wireless device support: We have built Kali Linux to support as many wireless devices as we possibly can, allowing it to run properly on a wide variety of hardware and making it compatible with numerous USB and other wireless devices.<br />
*Custom kernel patched for injection: As penetration testers, the development team often needs to do wireless assessments so our kernel has the latest injection patches included.<br />
*Secure development environment: The Kali Linux team is made up of a small group of trusted individuals who can only commit packages and interact with the repositories while using multiple secure protocols.<br />
*GPG signed packages and repos: All Kali packages are signed by each individual developer when they are built and committed and the repositories subsequently sign the packages as well.<br />
*Multi-language: Although pentesting tools tend to be written in English, we have ensured that Kali has true multilingual support, allowing more users to operate in their native language and locate the tools they need for the job.<br />
*Completely customizable: We completely understand that not everyone will agree with our design decisions so we have made it as easy as possible for our more adventurous users to customize Kali Linux to their liking, all the way down to the kernel.<br />
*ARMEL and ARMHF support: Since ARM-based systems are becoming more and more prevalent and inexpensive, we knew that Kali’s ARM support would need to be as robust as we could manage, resulting in working installations for both ARMEL and ARMHF systems. Kali Linux has ARM repositories integrated with the mainline distribution so tools for ARM will be updated in conjunction with the rest of the distribution. Kali is currently available for the following ARM devices:<br />
rk3306 mk/ss808<br />
Raspberry Pi <br />
ODROID U2/X2<br />
Samsung Chromebook<br />
<br />
Kali is specifically tailored to penetration testing and therefore, all documentation on this site assumes prior knowledge of the Linux operating system.<br />
Install <br />
[http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/kali-linux-1.0-armel-raspberrypi.img.gz Download]<br />
If all you want to do is to install Kali on your Raspberry Pi, follow these instructions:<br />
*1.Get a nice fast 8 GB (or more) SD card. Class 10 cards are highly recommended.<br />
*2.Download the Kali Linux Raspberry Pi image from our downloads area.<br />
*3.Use the dd utility to image this file to your SD card. <br />
On windows you can use [http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Win32-Disk-Imager-Download-173006.html win32 disk imagier] Guide how to use[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdSB1GKQIdU win32 disk imagier]<br />
<br />
Alert! This process will wipe out your SD card. If you choose the wrong storage device, you may wipe out your computers hard disk.<br />
<br />
This process can take a while depending on your USB storage device speed and image size. Once the dd operation is complete, boot up your Rasberry Pi with the SD card plugged in. You will be able to log in to Kali (root / toor) and startx. That’s it, you’re done!<br />

==RISC OS==<br />
<br />
RISC OS is a fast and lightweight computer operating system designed in Cambridge, England by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Computers Acorn]. First released in 1987, its origins can be traced back to the original team that developed the ARM microprocessor. RISC OS includes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_BASIC BBC BASIC] which was primarily conceived to teach programming skills as part of the BBC computer literacy project.<br />

==Commodore Pi==<br />
What It Is...<br />
The goal of this project is to develop a native Commodore 64 emulator and operating system for the Raspberry Pi, with the following features: •Fast boot up time - nearly instant on<br />
•Output to HDMI and composite video sources<br />
•GPIO pin connection to external devices (hooks via the kernal code)<br />
•Ethernet connection<br />
•USB Connections<br />
•Access to the full RAM of the Pi possibly via bank switching<br />
•Multitasking by means of multiple emulation cores<br />
•Modern graphics modes<br />
Think of the project as a Commodore 64 operating system. It is based on the Comeback64 emulator. The goal will be to include all of the expected emulation features such as SID sound, sprites, joystick connectivity, REU access, etc. In time, even the emulation speed could be changed, as well as additional modern graphics modes. <br />

==PiParted==<br />
A lot of issues come from people not knowing how to do it right, e.g. just dropping the img file onto an SD card.<br />
So I’ve customised a GParted LiveCD ISO and written up a custom script to *hopefully* install a distro straight onto an SD card.<br />
This is a very early iteration of this idea, but hopefully will develop into something useful.<br />
<br />
At the moment, essentially what it will do is<br />
<br />
*1. Grab the list of Distros from the RPI Download page<br />
*2. Let the user select which distro he wants to install<br />
*3. Select the Disk device that he wants to install it onto<br />
*4. dd the image onto the disk device.<br />
*5. Flash OS from zip file on SD Card:<br />
*6. Reset SD Card: This will format an SD Card back to defaults, i.e. one vfat partition.<br />

==PiBox==<br />
''PiBox'' provides a build system based on Crosstool-NG, Buildroot/Busybox, the Linux kernel, Rasperry Pi firmware and installation tools to create a base system that can be installed to an SD card to boot a Raspberry Pi. The base system serves as a foundation on which opkg based extensions such as XBMCBox can be installed. PiBox is intended as a build system, though binary release are made available to try out the system. It's current focus is to provide a lightweight system for providing services (wifi webcam, media server, platform for DLP display) for [http://redmine.graphics-muse.org/news/10 travel trailers], though this is just an initial target audience. Wifi requires manual configuration of USB ids in /etc/usbhandler.conf. RTL8187B based adapters are recommended.<br />
<br />
'''PiBox Development Platform''' is the official name of the core build system. It provides the platform on which the following two products are based.<br />
<br />
'''PiBox Media Server''' is a purpose-specific implementation built on PiBox with a goal of providing a media server that can stream webcam video and stream video files as well as serve them over NFS and SMB. This is accomplished by adding custom opkg installs on the base PiBox development platform. The PiBox Media Server can be used as a node on a network or as a wireless access point. Additionally, PiBox Media Server will include (over time) support for sensor management making it similar to a home monitoring system.<br />
<br />
'''PiBox Media Player''' is a purpose-specific implementation built on PiBox with a goal of providing a media player based on XBMC and other media players. The player is intended to integrate with PiBox Media Server over wifi with the server acting as a wireless access point. HDMI-based DLP projectors for use as a personal Drive In Theater experience. This is also accomplished by adding custom opkg installs on the base PiBox development platform.<br />
<br />
Status of all projects are available from the [http://redmine.graphics-muse.org/projects/pibox/news News] section of the issue tracker <br />
<br />
Developers are wanted to help in adding new features and cross compiling additional packages. Also, feel free to fork the PiBox Development Platform for your own custom distribution. The aim is to make an easy to use meta-build, making creation of a custom distribution as simple as possible.<br />

==MINIBIAN==<br />
<br />
MINIBIAN is a minimal Raspbian-based Linux image for Raspberry Pi.<br />
The main focus is to have a small, updated and stable distribution that is fully compatible with official Raspbian “wheezy” image, without GUI and unneeded tools.<br />
So this image is perfect for embedded projects, or wherever you need to use all RPi resources for your specific tasks.<br />
The main advantage is that MINIBIAN has a very small footprint, boots in some seconds and uses just few of precious RPi RAM.<br />
Unlike other similar projects, MINIBIAN has not been obtained purging unneeded packages from original image, neither recompiling the source code: it’s just a customized Raspbian installation obtained from the same repository used for official RPi wheezy image.<br />
So kernel and binary files are exactely the same you will find on standard image, with the difference that MINIBIAN fit on 512Mb SD Card, is fastest, and updated more often.<br />

== What is armhf ==<br />
<br />
The Debian Squeeze image originally issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation as the recommended distribution used "soft float" settings. The foundation found it necessary to use the existing Debian port for less capable ARM devices due to time and resource constraints during development of the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, it does not make use of the Pi's processor's floating point hardware - reducing the Pi's performance during floating point intensive applications - or the advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU.<br />
<br />
The [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads official Raspberry Pi distributions] are now optimized for ARMV6 and for "hard float" which should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks.<br />
<br />
There are some info on the news groups that "hard float" optimization can speed up floating point operating up to 10x, please read detailed discussion on the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=61497#p61497 Raspberry Pi forums].<br />

<br />
==Fedora Remix==<br />
<br />
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is a Linux software distribution for the Raspberry Pi computer. It contains software packages from the Fedora Project (specifically, the Fedora ARM secondary architecture project), packages which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access. <br />
<br />
* [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix wiki page]<br />
<br />
==Debian (Squeeze/6.x)==<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/]<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ Debian] was the default distribution on the Alpha boards. Boot time depends on width & speed of SD-card. Alpha board boot into Debian prompt (no GUI) was timed taking about 34 seconds.<br />
<br />
The Debian distro for Raspberry Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop) and Midori (browser); development tools; and sample code for accessing the multimedia functionality on the device.<br />
<br />
==Arch==<br />
<br />
[http://archlinuxarm.org Arch Linux ARM] is based on [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch Linux], which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs. For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />
<br />
Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://archlinuxarm.org<br />
<br />
==Raspbian==<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi + Debian = [http://www.raspbian.org Raspbian]. A project to create a hard float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in its early phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://www.raspbian.org<br />
<br />
==nOS==<br />
<br />
nOS is an operating system for the raspberry pi that aims to make the device simple, fast and easy to use. It incorporates an XFCE desktop which is lightweight and user friendly for previous users of Microsoft Windows. It uses a modified version of the NOOBS installer for the installation as it only requires a quick drag and drop to the SD card. <br />
<br />
More information is available at http://www.nos.net.nz<br />
<br />
==Moebius==<br />
A very compact ARM HF distribution, 20Mb of RAM (with SSH server running) for the entire operating system. It fits in a 128Mb SD card, has autoresizing features to better adapt to your SD card size and uses its own repositories for installing everything you need. A wise configuration and a small memory footprint are ideal for an headless machine or for interacting with real word I/O devices, take a look at [http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/ Moebius Website]. Version 2 is current stable version.<br />
<br />
==Raspbian Server Edition==<br />
It's a stripped version of Raspibian with some other packages<br />
*[http://sirlagz.net/2013/03/04/raspbian-server-edition-version-2-3-1gb-image/ Main site of version 2.3]<br />
*[http://sirlagz.net/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=15 Dowload Version 2.3]<br />
<br />
== Red Sleeve Linux ==<br />
[http://www.redsleeve.org/ Red Sleeve Linux] is a Linux distribution that aims to bring the RHEL clone design to the ARM architecture.<br />
There are images for several ARM devices including the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
== IPFire ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ipfire.org IPFire] is an Open Source firewall distribution for x86 and ARM-based systems. It turns the Raspberry Pi computer into a small router for home networks and very small businesses. As the Raspberry Pi computer comes with only one NIC, it works perfectly as a 3G router without plugging in additional hardware.<br />
<br />
The generally small system that provides essential services for networks can be enhanced by addons which add new features to IPFire. So the system can be turned into a file server and much more.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://www.ipfire.org<br />

==ANDROID TRANSPORTER==<br />
The Android Transporter allows you to share display content wirelessly with remote screens in real time. Please be aware that the Transporter is still a technology study and it is missing the maturity of a full-featured product. However, we think that the Android Transporter is already exciting enough to let you play around with it. We believe that with the recently released Miracast standard you will get a very similar technology in upcoming Android devices, and we are considering making the Transporter compliant with the Miracast specs.<br />
<br />
QUICK START GUIDE<br />
Let’s start with the Asus Nexus 7.<br />
By installing the Android Transporter firmware on your Asus Nexus 7 all data on the device will be removed including the contents of the /sdcard directory! So maybe you want to backup some data before you begin.<br />
To start, enable USB debugging on your Nexus 7 by switching on this option under Settings -> Developer options.<br />
Next, unlock the bootloader of your Nexus 7 device. This will void your device warranty and it will also do a factory reset!<br />
Install the adb and fastboot utilities. On Microsoft Windows you will also need Google’s USB drivers. Just search the Internet for instructions how to install this tools.<br />
Unlocking the bootloader is done by getting the device into the bootloader using the adb reboot bootloader command. Now unlock it with the fastboot oem unlock command.<br />
[http://esrlabs.com/downloads/ESRLabs-Asus-Nexus-7-Android-Transporter-2012-10-04.zip Download] the Android Transporter firmware for the Asus Nexus 7 and unpack it. Reboot your Nexus 7 device into the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader. In the Android-Transporter directory you will find the flash script, which is called flash-all.sh. Be aware that the fastboot utility has to be available in the PATH environment for the flash script. Execute the flash script. Your Asus Nexus 7 is now ready.<br />
To switch back to the original Nexus 7 firmware image you should first download it from[https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi Google’s factory images site.] Then you can flash the original firmware image using the same instructions that you used to flash the Android Transporter firmware image.<br />
<br />
Let’s move on to the Raspberry Pi.<br />
[http://esrlabs.com/downloads/esrlabs-rpi-android-transporter-2012-10-02.zip Download] the Android Transporter firmware for the Raspberry Pi and unpack it. Insert an SD card into your card reader and flash the firmware image using the dd utility: sudo dd bs=1M if=esrlabs-rpi-android-transporter-2012-10-02.img of=/dev/sdX. Substitute /dev/sdX with the real SD card device name. For more information on flashing the Raspberry Pi see the Embedded Linux Wiki page for the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is now also ready.<br />
<br />
Next, you have to set up the networking between the two devices. You can either connect both devices to your home router or you can make use of the Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi hotspot. Both scenarios require the Raspberry Pi to be plugged into your home router. The Wi-Fi hotspot works with USB Wi-Fi adapters that are supported by the Realtek rtl8192cu Linux driver. We tested the Wi-Fi hotspot with the Netgear N150 Microadapter and with the Asus N13 Wi-Fi Stick. It works well with both Wi-Fi sticks except that we occasionally had some power consumption issues with the Asus device.<br />
If you want to make use of the Wi-Fi hotspot plug in the stick before the Raspberry Pi starts up. The network name of the Wi-Fi hotspot is RaspberryPiAP and the default password is E.S.R.Labs.<br />
The Wi-Fi hotspot may have the advantage that the Android Transporter has its own dedicated network to minimize the latency jitter during screen mirroring. If you connect both devices to your home router please make sure that the Wi-Fi transmitting power of your router is set to high. Otherwise you may experience high packet loss, which is bad for the Android Transporter.<br />
<br />
When you now connect your Nexus 7 to the Wi-Fi network and start the Android Transporter you should see the Raspberry Pi in the list of available media hubs. The Raspberry Pi has announced itself as media sink via service discovery. Just tap on the Raspberry Pi item to start the screen mirroring. If you want to stop the screen mirroring just pull down the notification bar and click the Android Transporter “Switch off” item.<br />
<br />
By default the Android Transporter will make use of the H.264 over RTP over UDP streaming protocols according to RFC3984. If you are in a building with a lot of Wi-Fi networks, it may be possible that the Android Transporter does not work really well because of high packet loss. If that is the case you should switch to the H.264 over RTP over TCP streaming protocols according to RFC3984 and RFC4571. You can do this in the preferences of the Android Transporter app. The latency will typically be around 20-30ms higher when using the reliable TCP transport protocol.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the Android Transporter tech demo .<br />
<br />
The Android Transporter is a custom ROM and not an app since we had to make adjustemts to various parts of the Android platform to make it happen.<br />

==OpenELEC==<br />
<br />
OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run [http://www.xbmc.org XBMC], the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player or Sky box. Instead of having to manage a full operating system, configure it and install the packages required to turn it into a hybrid media center, OpenELEC is designed to be simple to install, manage and use, making it more like running a set-top box than a full-blown computer.<br />

==RasPlex==<br />
What is RasPlex?<br />
RasPlex is an Entertainment Center Solution for Raspberry Pi<br />
Simply put, RasPlex lets you turn your TV into a Smart TV. Similar to the AppleTV, but completely free and open source, RasPlex is basically a set-top box. Once RasPlex is stable, it will have support for legacy console game emulation (NES, SNES, etc), as well as Plex Channels (Netflix, Crackle, Youtube, etc). <br />
RasPlex is a Plex Home Theater Client <br />
More technically stated, RasPlex is a complete port of Plex Home Theater (formerly Plex Media Center) for Raspberry Pi. RasPlex currently runs on OpenELEC for reasons of limited man power, but there is a working raspbian port that just needs some time to be brought up to speed. RasPlex was created on Gentoo linux, but that port has since been abandoned for performance reasons. We regularly merge in changes from Plex Home Theater and OpenELEC. Once things cool off a bit and we are more stable (or we get the man power), we will maintain a raspbian release as well. <br />
RasPlex is the Perfect Companion to a Plex Media Server <br />
Many people will use expensive computers as Plex Clients, or have to go through the inconvenient of plugging a computer in to their TV every time they want to use Plex. With RasPlex, just plug it in and you're media is always ready. Put one on every TV, and have your media everywhere!<br />
You can even put RasPlex on your friend's TV's, and watch your media remotely.<br />

==Kali==<br />
Kali Linux Features<br />
<br />
Kali is a complete re-build of BackTrack Linux, adhering completely to Debian development standards. All-new infrastructure has been put in place, all tools were reviewed and packaged, and we use Git for our VCS.<br />
*More than 300 penetration testing tools: After reviewing every tool that was included in BackTrack, we eliminated a great number of tools that either did not work or had other tools available that provided similar functionality.<br />
*Free and always will be: Kali Linux, like its predecessor, is completely free and always will be. You will never, ever have to pay for Kali Linux.<br />
*Open source Git tree: We are huge proponents of open source software and our development tree is available for all to see and all sources are available for those who wish to tweak and rebuild packages.<br />
*FHS compliant: Kali has been developed to adhere to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, allowing all Linux users to easily locate binaries, support files, libraries, etc.<br />
*Vast wireless device support: We have built Kali Linux to support as many wireless devices as we possibly can, allowing it to run properly on a wide variety of hardware and making it compatible with numerous USB and other wireless devices.<br />
*Custom kernel patched for injection: As penetration testers, the development team often needs to do wireless assessments so our kernel has the latest injection patches included.<br />
*Secure development environment: The Kali Linux team is made up of a small group of trusted individuals who can only commit packages and interact with the repositories while using multiple secure protocols.<br />
*GPG signed packages and repos: All Kali packages are signed by each individual developer when they are built and committed and the repositories subsequently sign the packages as well.<br />
*Multi-language: Although pentesting tools tend to be written in English, we have ensured that Kali has true multilingual support, allowing more users to operate in their native language and locate the tools they need for the job.<br />
*Completely customizable: We completely understand that not everyone will agree with our design decisions so we have made it as easy as possible for our more adventurous users to customize Kali Linux to their liking, all the way down to the kernel.<br />
*ARMEL and ARMHF support: Since ARM-based systems are becoming more and more prevalent and inexpensive, we knew that Kali’s ARM support would need to be as robust as we could manage, resulting in working installations for both ARMEL and ARMHF systems. Kali Linux has ARM repositories integrated with the mainline distribution so tools for ARM will be updated in conjunction with the rest of the distribution. Kali is currently available for the following ARM devices:<br />
rk3306 mk/ss808<br />
Raspberry Pi <br />
ODROID U2/X2<br />
Samsung Chromebook<br />
<br />
Kali is specifically tailored to penetration testing and therefore, all documentation on this site assumes prior knowledge of the Linux operating system.<br />
Install <br />
[http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/kali-linux-1.0-armel-raspberrypi.img.gz Download]<br />
If all you want to do is to install Kali on your Raspberry Pi, follow these instructions:<br />
*1.Get a nice fast 8 GB (or more) SD card. Class 10 cards are highly recommended.<br />
*2.Download the Kali Linux Raspberry Pi image from our downloads area.<br />
*3.Use the dd utility to image this file to your SD card. <br />

<br />
Alert! This process will wipe out your SD card. If you choose the wrong storage device, you may wipe out your computers hard disk.<br />
<br />
This process can take a while depending on your USB storage device speed and image size. Once the dd operation is complete, boot up your Rasberry Pi with the SD card plugged in. You will be able to log in to Kali (root / toor) and startx. That’s it, you’re done!<br />

==Commodore Pi==<br />
What It Is...<br />
The goal of this project is to develop a native Commodore 64 emulator and operating system for the Raspberry Pi, with the following features: •Fast boot up time - nearly instant on<br />
•Output to HDMI and composite video sources<br />
•GPIO pin connection to external devices (hooks via the kernal code)<br />
•Ethernet connection<br />
•USB Connections<br />
•Access to the full RAM of the Pi possibly via bank switching<br />
•Multitasking by means of multiple emulation cores<br />
•Modern graphics modes<br />
Think of the project as a Commodore 64 operating system. It is based on the Comeback64 emulator. The goal will be to include all of the expected emulation features such as SID sound, sprites, joystick connectivity, REU access, etc. In time, even the emulation speed could be changed, as well as additional modern graphics modes. <br />

==PiParted==<br />
A lot of issues come from people not knowing how to do it right, e.g. just dropping the img file onto an SD card.<br />
So I’ve customised a GParted LiveCD ISO and written up a custom script to *hopefully* install a distro straight onto an SD card.<br />
This is a very early iteration of this idea, but hopefully will develop into something useful.<br />
<br />
At the moment, essentially what it will do is<br />
<br />
*1. Grab the list of Distros from the RPI Download page<br />
*2. Let the user select which distro he wants to install<br />
*3. Select the Disk device that he wants to install it onto<br />
*4. dd the image onto the disk device.<br />
*5. Flash OS from zip file on SD Card:<br />
*6. Reset SD Card: This will format an SD Card back to defaults, i.e. one vfat partition.<br />

''PiBox'' provides a build system based on Crosstool-NG, Buildroot/Busybox, the Linux kernel, Rasperry Pi firmware and installation tools to create a base system that can be installed to an SD card to boot a Raspberry Pi. The base system serves as a foundation on which opkg based extensions such as XBMCBox can be installed. PiBox is intended as a build system, though binary release are made available to try out the system. It's current focus is to provide a lightweight system for providing services (wifi webcam, media server, platform for DLP display) for [http://redmine.graphics-muse.org/news/10 travel trailers], though this is just an initial target audience. Wifi requires manual configuration of USB ids in /etc/usbhandler.conf. RTL8187B based adapters are recommended.<br />
<br />
'''PiBox Development Platform''' is the official name of the core build system. It provides the platform on which the following two products are based.<br />
<br />
'''PiBox Media Server''' is a purpose-specific implementation built on PiBox with a goal of providing a media server that can stream webcam video and stream video files as well as serve them over NFS and SMB. This is accomplished by adding custom opkg installs on the base PiBox development platform. The PiBox Media Server can be used as a node on a network or as a wireless access point. Additionally, PiBox Media Server will include (over time) support for sensor management making it similar to a home monitoring system.<br />
<br />
'''PiBox Media Player''' is a purpose-specific implementation built on PiBox with a goal of providing a media player based on XBMC and other media players. The player is intended to integrate with PiBox Media Server over wifi with the server acting as a wireless access point. HDMI-based DLP projectors for use as a personal Drive In Theater experience. This is also accomplished by adding custom opkg installs on the base PiBox development platform.<br />
<br />
Status of all projects are available from the [http://redmine.graphics-muse.org/projects/pibox/news News] section of the issue tracker <br />
<br />
Developers are wanted to help in adding new features and cross compiling additional packages. Also, feel free to fork the PiBox Development Platform for your own custom distribution. The aim is to make an easy to use meta-build, making creation of a custom distribution as simple as possible.<br />

==MINIBIAN==<br />
<br />
MINIBIAN is a minimal Raspbian-based Linux image for Raspberry Pi.<br />
The main focus is to have a small, updated and stable distribution that is fully compatible with official Raspbian “wheezy” image, without GUI and unneeded tools.<br />
So this image is perfect for embedded projects, or wherever you need to use all RPi resources for your specific tasks.<br />
The main advantage is that MINIBIAN has a very small footprint, boots in some seconds and uses just few of precious RPi RAM.<br />
Unlike other similar projects, MINIBIAN has not been obtained purging unneeded packages from original image, neither recompiling the source code: it’s just a customized Raspbian installation obtained from the same repository used for official RPi wheezy image.<br />
So kernel and binary files are exactely the same you will find on standard image, with the difference that MINIBIAN fit on 512Mb SD Card, is fastest, and updated more often.<br />

=Other Distributions=<br />
<br />
These are other popular distributions that are often asked about for Raspberry Pi but are not available.<br />
<br />
==Ubuntu==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] was initially planned to be the default distribution, but the current version of Ubuntu only supports ARMv7 onwards, not the ARMv6 architecture used by the Raspberry Pi's processor. Therefore Ubuntu does not work on Raspberry Pi, and there is no further information about this changing in the near future.<br />
<br />
A bug report on this subject was submitted to Ubuntu's bug tracker. The responses to that bug include an unofficial viewpoint from a Canonical employee, outlining the amount of work required to support ARMv6 (and therefore, potentially, Raspberry Pi).

== What is armhf ==<br />
<br />
The Debian Squeeze image originally issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation as the recommended distribution used "soft float" settings. The foundation found it necessary to use the existing Debian port for less capable ARM devices due to time and resource constraints during development of the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, it does not make use of the Pi's processor's floating point hardware - reducing the Pi's performance during floating point intensive applications - or the advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU.<br />
<br />
The [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads official Raspberry Pi distributions] are now optimized for ARMV6 and for "hard float" which should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks.<br />
<br />
There are some info on the news groups that "hard float" optimization can speed up floating point operating up to 10x, please read detailed discussion on the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=61497#p61497 Raspberry Pi forums].<br />

==Fedora Remix==<br />
<br />
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is a Linux software distribution for the Raspberry Pi computer. It contains software packages from the Fedora Project (specifically, the Fedora ARM secondary architecture project), packages which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access. <br />
<br />
* [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix wiki page]<br />
<br />
==Debian (Squeeze/6.x)==<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/]<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ Debian] was the default distribution on the Alpha boards. Boot time depends on width & speed of SD-card. Alpha board boot into Debian prompt (no GUI) was timed taking about 34 seconds.<br />
<br />
The Debian distro for Raspberry Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop) and Midori (browser); development tools; and sample code for accessing the multimedia functionality on the device.<br />
<br />
==Arch==<br />
<br />
[http://archlinuxarm.org Arch Linux ARM] is based on [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch Linux], which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs. For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />
<br />
Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://archlinuxarm.org<br />
<br />
==Raspbian==<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi + Debian = [http://www.raspbian.org Raspbian]. A project to create a hard float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in it's early phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://www.raspbian.org<br />
<br />
==Moebius==<br />
A very compact ARM HF debian based distribution, it fits in a 1Gb SD card, has autoresizing features to better adapt to your SD card size and uses Raspbian huge repositories for installing everything you need. A wise configuration and a small memory footprint are ideal for an headless machine or for interacting with real word I/O devices, take a look at [http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/ Moebius Website]<br />
<br />
==Raspbian Server Edition==<br />
It's a stripped version of Raspibian with some other packages<br />

[http://www.redsleeve.org/ Red Sleeve Linux] is a Linux distribution that aims to bring the RHEL clone design to the ARM architecture.<br />
There are images for several ARM devices including the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
== IPFire ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ipfire.org IPFire] is an Open Source firewall distribution for x86 and ARM-based systems. It turns the Raspberry Pi computer into a small router for home networks and very small businesses. As the Raspberry Pi computer comes with only one NIC, it works perfectly as a 3G router without plugging in additional hardware.<br />
<br />
The generally small system that provides essential services for networks can be enhanced by addons which add new features to IPFire. So the system can be turned into a file server and much more.<br />

==OpenELEC==<br />
<br />
OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run [http://www.xbmc.org XBMC], the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player or Sky box. Instead of having to manage a full operating system, configure it and install the packages required to turn it into a hybrid media center, OpenELEC is designed to be simple to install, manage and use, making it more like running a set-top box than a full-blown computer.<br />

==RasPlex==<br />
What is RasPlex?<br />
RasPlex is an Entertainment Center Solution for Raspberry Pi<br />
Simply put, RasPlex lets you turn your TV into a Smart TV. Similar to the AppleTV, but completely free and open source, RasPlex is basically a set-top box. Once RasPlex is stable, it will have support for legacy console game emulation (NES, SNES, etc), as well as Plex Channels (Netflix, Crackle, Youtube, etc). <br />
RasPlex is a Plex Home Theater Client <br />
More technically stated, RasPlex is a complete port of Plex Home Theater (formerly Plex Media Center) for Raspberry Pi. RasPlex currently runs on OpenELEC for reasons of limited man power, but there is a working raspbian port that just needs some time to be brought up to speed. RasPlex was created on Gentoo linux, but that port has since been abandoned for performance reasons. We regularly merge in changes from Plex Home Theater and OpenELEC. Once things cool off a bit and we are more stable (or we get the man power), we will maintain a raspbian release as well. <br />
RasPlex is the Perfect Companion to a Plex Media Server <br />
Many people will use expensive computers as Plex Clients, or have to go through the inconvenient of plugging a computer in to their TV every time they want to use Plex. With RasPlex, just plug it in and you're media is always ready. Put one on every TV, and have your media everywhere!<br />
You can even put RasPlex on your friend's TV's, and watch your media remotely.<br />

==PiParted==<br />
A lot of issues come from people not knowing how to do it right, e.g. just dropping the img file onto an SD card.<br />
So I’ve customised a GParted LiveCD ISO and written up a custom script to *hopefully* install a distro straight onto an SD card.<br />
This is a very early iteration of this idea, but hopefully will develop into something useful.<br />
<br />
At the moment, essentially what it will do is<br />
<br />
*1. Grab the list of Distros from the RPI Download page<br />
*2. Let the user select which distro he wants to install<br />
*3. Select the Disk device that he wants to install it onto<br />
*4. dd the image onto the disk device.<br />
*5. Flash OS from zip file on SD Card:<br />
*6. Reset SD Card: This will format an SD Card back to defaults, i.e. one vfat partition.<br />

=Other Distributions=<br />
<br />
These are other popular distributions that are often asked about for Raspberry Pi but are not available.<br />
<br />
==GeeXboX ARM==<br />
<br />
GeeXboX is a free and Open Source Media-Center purposed Linux distribution for embedded devices and desktop computers. GeeXboX is not an application, it’s a full-featured OS, that one can boot as a LiveCD, from a USB key, an SD/MMC card or install on its regular HDD. The GeeXboX distribution is lightweight and designed for one single goal: embed all major multimedia applications as to turn your computer into an HTPC.<br />

[http://www.geexbox.org/category/arm/ http://www.geexbox.org/category/arm/]<br />
<br />
==Ubuntu==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] was initially planned to be the default distribution, but the current version of Ubuntu only supports ARMv7 onwards, not the ARMv6 architecture used by the Raspberry Pi's processor. Therefore Ubuntu does not work on Raspberry Pi, and there is no further information about this changing in the near future.<br />
<br />
A bug report on this subject was submitted to Ubuntu's bug tracker. The responses to that bug include an unofficial viewpoint from a Canonical employee, outlining the amount of work required to support ARMv6 (and therefore, potentially, Raspberry Pi). See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/848154 Bug 848154]<br />

==Lego Case==<br />
[[File:R-Pi case, Lego, prototype.png|thumb|right|The Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user eric_baird]]<br />
<br />
I just had a go at knocking up a quick Lego case prototype. Since I don't know the metrics of all the connections, it's a bit of a "proof of concept" right now, but since's it's not exactly difficult to take out any offending side-pieces and move them if they're in the way of a beloved connector, I'm assuming that this isn't a big deal.<br />
<br />
Also, because of the thin side-walls, a bit of additional hacksawing or dremeling shouldn't be too difficult.<br />
<br />
I've limited myself to only using pieces that are currently available from Lego's "Pick a Brick" shop, in red. :)<br />
<br />
I've tried to fit everything into an 8*12 grid footprint, which will hopefully fit … but I don't have the specs of the thickness of the thin wall-pieces, so no guarantees. One thing that might screw things up is the height of the board's connectors: I don't know whether they'll all fit within the upper and lower lip of the side-wall pieces. If the board's "USB port stack" is too high, I guess the "roof" could be raised by a tile or two.<br />
<br />
I knocked it up with Lego's Digital Designer program (free [http://ldd.lego.com/download/ download] from their site). The critical Lego piece is the repeated hollowed-out "side wall" ("[") brick ("wall element 1*2*2, w. window"), which you'll find on LDD's parts palette behind the little "door" symbol, or under the Pick a Brick page, as element #4507686, design #60032 (red), cost 8 pence each.<br />
<br />
Feel free to hack, mangle or otherwise rework.<br />

==Lego Case 2==<br />
[[File:Rpilegocase.gif|thumb|right|100px|Another Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user kimondo]]<br />
<br />
I had a bit of a play in lego designer with the idea of a vertical case – the USB / ethernet would emerge from the top, and the power usb would be on the bottom – possibly using a right angled usb connector. It's possible to alter the sides to allow for gaps for the various bits that stick out. There are lots of transparent bricks available – also includes a 2 x 2 brick to stick the raspberry pi sticker on.<br />

==RepRap friendly cover for Raspberry Pi==<br />
[[File:Pi-cover-reprap.png|right|200px|RepRap Pi Cover]]<br />
The Rep-Rap we have is not very reliable and is only really able to produce basic designs so this is a 6 part case that has to be glued together.<br />
There are 6 stl files [http://goo.gl/dqsvk here] with construction notes.<br />

==Mega Drive / Genesis Case for Raspberry Pi==<br />
[[File:megadrivecase.jpg|right|200px|Mega Drive / Genesis Case by osholt]]<br />
The design was thought up by osholt on the evening after receiving his Pi. The case is strictly DIY and an Instructable for it can be found at [http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Sega-Mega-DriveGenesis-II-Case/ the Instructables website]. The case is well suited to Green enthusiasts as it can easily be made with only reused or reclaimed parts as well as to emulation enthusiasts and to users with limited resources and design skill (you only need to know how to use a screwdriver to make the whole thing).<br />

==RaspBox==<br />
[[File:raspbox.jpg|right|200px|The RaspBox, a minimalistic design.]]The RaspBox is made of two acrylic glass plates and four metallic spacers. All parts are hold together by eight screws. This minimalistic design comes from the Swiss company [http://www.yoctopuce.com Yoctopuce]. Originally, the RaspBox was just a pet-project, but as it was very appreciated within the company staff, the decision was made to bring it to the public.

== An 4€ RPi case ==<br />
When having an RPi for 30€, buying a 15€ case is quit expensive. I decided to create this case. You just need :<br />
# An 21x29.7 Art foam Cardboard<br />
# Cutter<br />
# Glues : sticker and gel<br />
<br />
How to :<br />
<br />
# Print the templates with the right scale<br />
# Validate the sizes<br />
# Glue the template on the board using the glue sticker<br />
# Cut, assemble and glue using the glue gel<br />
# If the RPi will stay powered for a long time. A few vent holes could be added<br />
<br />
Final touch:<br />
<br />
# Print a Raspberry Pi logo and glue it<br />
<br />
The libreCad template files could be downloaded : [[File:Raspberry-pi-3mm-foamboard-case.dxf | Raspberry Pi Foam Case]] and <br />

==PI Sandwich Case==<br />
[[File:Sandwich3.png|thumb|right|200px|BUD PI Sandwich]]<br />
<br />
BUD Industries is Proud to introduce The PI Sandwich Enclosure, designed for use with the Raspberry Pi microcomputer (not supplied) and to accommodate changes in component location on the board as well as the potential addition of components . The enclosures provide protection, flexibility and ease of access to all components with quick snap-in installation. This rectangular version is open on all four sides for direct access.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Media:BUD_Industries_is_Proud_to_introduce_The_PI_Sandwich_Enclosure.pdf | more details]]<br />
{{clear}}<br />
I bought two of these at Jameco Electronics in Belmont, CA for $7 each. It's okay, but the board is not held tightly in place. You wand to plug in cables and the SD card before the board is snapped into place because the board will pop out otherwise, and could break the plastic pieces. The two sides of the case are identical. You have to gently rock the sides back and forth to disassemble the case without breaking anything.<br />
<br />
==Simple sandwich case==<br />
[[File:Rpi-pc-case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sandwich case]]<br />
<br />
Like me, most people do not have access to precision cutting tools like laser cutters. This makes it's rather difficult to do some of the intricate laser-cut case designs at home. So I decided to go with a simple sandwich case.<br />
<br />
The case consists of:<br />
* Two sheets of 75x120 mm polycarbonate<br />
* Twelve 12 mm M5 countersunk hex screws<br />
* Six 25 mm round spacers <br />
<br />
The spacers have a notch at 6 mm which holds the board in place between the sheets of polycarbonate.<br />
Sadly, my design isn't optimal since one of the spacers covers the GPIO pins.<br />
<br />
This isn't the most beautiful case but I hope it inspires people to be creative and build their own case instead of just buying one. Building is fun!<br />

<br />
A case for the Raspberry Pi, using 3mm MDF, laser cut in a pattern that gives it a smooth curved appearance. The result is an object that stands out from the crowd, it hints at the technical Raspberry Pi inside, with a more natural rather than the typical high-tech look. This case started as a personal project/experiment, however it is now made in small batches for sale because many people requested one. It doesn't allow access to the analogue audio and video ports because these are behind a curved section of the case. Available from [http://rpicase.jelledekker.com], the drawings are available on Thingiverse.<br />

== What is armhf ==<br />
The official Debian Squeeze image issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation uses "soft float" settings. The foundation found it necessary to use the existing Debian port for less capable ARM devices due to time and resource constraints during development of the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, it does not make use of the Pi's processor's floating point hardware - reducing the Pi's performance during floating point intensive applications - or the advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU.<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi distributions that are optimized for ARMV6 and are optimized for "hard float" should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks.<br />
<br />
There are some info on the news groups that "hard float" optimization can speed up floating point operatins upto 10x, please read detailed discussion on Raspberry Pi forums - http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=61497#p61497<br />

==Fedora Remix==<br />
<br />
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is a Linux software distribution for the Raspberry Pi computer. It contains software packages from the Fedora Project (specifically, the Fedora ARM secondary architecture project), packages which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access. <br />
<br />
* [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix wiki page]<br />
<br />
==Debian (Squeeze/6.x)==<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/]<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ Debian] was the default distribution on the Alpha boards. Boot time depends on width & speed of SD-card. Alpha board boot into Debian prompt (no GUI) was timed taking about 34 seconds.<br />
<br />
The Debian distro for Raspberry Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop) and Midori (browser); development tools; and sample code for accessing the multimedia functionality on the device.<br />
<br />
==Arch==<br />
<br />
[http://archlinuxarm.org Arch Linux ARM] is based on [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch Linux], which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs. For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />
<br />
Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://archlinuxarm.org<br />
<br />
==Raspbian==<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi + Debian = [http://www.raspbian.org Raspbian]. A project to create a hard float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in it's early phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://www.raspbian.org<br />
<br />
==Moebius==<br />
A very compact ARM HF debian based distribution, it fits in a 1Gb SD card, has autoresizing features to better adapt to your SD card size and uses Raspbian huge repositories for installing everything you need. A wise configuration and a small memory footprint are ideal for an headless machine or for interacting with real word I/O devices, take a look at [http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/ Moebius Website]<br />
<br />
==Raspbian Server Edition==<br />
It's a stripped version of Raspibian with some other packages<br />

<br />
== Red Sleeve Linux ==<br />
[http://www.redsleeve.org/ Red Sleeve Linux] is a Linux distribution that aims to bring the RHEL clone design to the ARM architecture.<br />
There are images for several ARM devices including the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
== IPFire ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ipfire.org IPFire] is an Open Source firewall distribution for x86 and ARM-based systems. It turns the Raspberry Pi computer into a small router for home networks and very small businesses. As the Raspberry Pi computer comes with only one NIC, it works perfectly as a 3G router without plugging in additional hardware.<br />
<br />
The generally small system that provides essential services for networks can be enhanced by addons which add new features to IPFire. So the system can be turned into a file server and much more.<br />

==OpenELEC==<br />
<br />
OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run [http://www.xbmc.org XBMC], the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player or Sky box. Instead of having to manage a full operating system, configure it and install the packages required to turn it into a hybrid media center, OpenELEC is designed to be simple to install, manage and use, making it more like running a set-top box than a full-blown computer.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.openelec.tv OpenELEC Mainsite]<br />
*In February 2012, OpenELEC.tv announced their [http://openelec.tv/component/k2/item/235-openelec-on-raspberry-pi-our-first-arm-device-supported ARM port for Raspberry Pi]<br />

<br />
==Raspbmc==<br />
<br />
Raspbmc is a minimal Linux distribution based on Debian that brings XBMC to your Raspberry Pi. This device has an excellent form factor and enough power to handle media playback, making it an ideal component in a low HTPC setup, yet delivering the same XBMC experience that can be enjoyed on much more costly platforms. Raspbmc is brought to you by the developer of the Crystalbuntu Linux Distribution, which brings XBMC and 1080p decoding to the 1st generation Apple TV.<br />

==GeeXboX ARM==<br />
<br />
GeeXboX is a free and Open Source Media-Center purposed Linux distribution for embedded devices and desktop computers. GeeXboX is not an application, it’s a full-featured OS, that one can boot as a LiveCD, from a USB key, an SD/MMC card or install on its regular HDD. The GeeXboX distribution is lightweight and designed for one single goal: embed all major multimedia applications as to turn your computer into an HTPC.<br />

==Ubuntu==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] was initially planned to be the default distribution, but the current version of Ubuntu only supports ARMv7 onwards, not the ARMv6 architecture used by the Raspberry Pi's processor. Therefore Ubuntu does not work on Raspberry Pi, and there is no further information about this changing in the near future.<br />
<br />
A bug report on this subject was submitted to Ubuntu's bug tracker. The responses to that bug include an unofficial viewpoint from a Canonical employee, outlining the amount of work required to support ARMv6 (and therefore, potentially, Raspberry Pi). See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/848154 Bug 848154]<br />

== What is armhf ==<br />
The official Debian Squeeze image issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation uses "soft float" settings. The foundation found it necessary to use the existing Debian port for less capable ARM devices due to time and resource constraints during development of the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, it does not make use of the Pi's processor's floating point hardware - reducing the Pi's performance during floating point intensive applications - or the advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU.<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi distributions that are optimized for ARMV6 and are optimized for "hard float" should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks.<br />
<br />
There are some info on the news groups that "hard float" optimization can speed up floating point operatins upto 10x, please read detailed discussion on Raspberry Pi forums - http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=61497#p61497<br />

==Fedora Remix==<br />
<br />
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is a Linux software distribution for the Raspberry Pi computer. It contains software packages from the Fedora Project (specifically, the Fedora ARM secondary architecture project), packages which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access. <br />
<br />

<br />
==Debian (Squeeze/6.x)==<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/]<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ Debian] was the default distribution on the Alpha boards. Boot time depends on width & speed of SD-card. Alpha board boot into Debian prompt (no GUI) was timed taking about 34 seconds.<br />
<br />
The Debian distro for Raspberry Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop) and Midori (browser); development tools; and sample code for accessing the multimedia functionality on the device.<br />
<br />
==Arch==<br />
<br />
[http://archlinuxarm.org Arch Linux ARM] is based on [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch Linux], which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs. For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />
<br />
Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://archlinuxarm.org<br />
<br />
==Raspbian==<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi + Debian = [http://www.raspbian.org Raspbian]. A project to create a hard float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in it's early phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://www.raspbian.org<br />
<br />
==Moebius==<br />
A very compact ARM HF debian based distribution, it fits in a 1Gb SD card, has autoresizing features to better adapt to your SD card size and uses Raspbian huge repositories for installing everything you need. A wise configuration and a small memory footprint are ideal for an headless machine or for interacting with real word I/O devices, take a look at [http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/ Moebius Website]<br />
<br />
==Raspbian Server Edition==<br />
It's a stripped version of Raspibian with some other packages<br />

== Red Sleeve Linux ==<br />
[http://www.redsleeve.org/ Red Sleeve Linux] is a Linux distribution that aims to bring the RHEL clone design to the ARM architecture.<br />
There are images for several ARM devices including the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
== IPFire ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ipfire.org IPFire] is an Open Source firewall distribution for x86 and ARM-based systems. It turns the Raspberry Pi computer into a small router for home networks and very small businesses. As the Raspberry Pi computer comes with only one NIC, it works perfectly as a 3G router without plugging in additional hardware.<br />
<br />
The generally small system that provides essential services for networks can be enhanced by addons which add new features to IPFire. So the system can be turned into a file server and much more.<br />

==OpenELEC==<br />
<br />
OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run [http://www.xbmc.org XBMC], the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player or Sky box. Instead of having to manage a full operating system, configure it and install the packages required to turn it into a hybrid media center, OpenELEC is designed to be simple to install, manage and use, making it more like running a set-top box than a full-blown computer.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.openelec.tv OpenELEC Mainsite]<br />

==Raspbmc==<br />
<br />
Raspbmc is a minimal Linux distribution based on Debian that brings XBMC to your Raspberry Pi. This device has an excellent form factor and enough power to handle media playback, making it an ideal component in a low HTPC setup, yet delivering the same XBMC experience that can be enjoyed on much more costly platforms. Raspbmc is brought to you by the developer of the Crystalbuntu Linux Distribution, which brings XBMC and 1080p decoding to the 1st generation Apple TV.<br />

<br />
==Ubuntu==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] was initially planned to be the default distribution, but the current version of Ubuntu only supports ARMv7 onwards, not the ARMv6 architecture used by the Raspberry Pi's processor. Therefore Ubuntu does not work on Raspberry Pi, and there is no further information about this changing in the near future.<br />
<br />
A bug report on this subject was submitted to Ubuntu's bug tracker. The responses to that bug include an unofficial viewpoint from a Canonical employee, outlining the amount of work required to support ARMv6 (and therefore, potentially, Raspberry Pi). See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/848154 Bug 848154]<br />

=Available Distributions=<br />
<br />
== What is armhf ==<br />
The official Debian Squeeze image issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation uses "soft float" settings. The foundation found it necessary to use the existing Debian port for less capable ARM devices due to time and resource constraints during development of the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, it does not make use of the Pi's processor's floating point hardware - reducing the Pi's performance during floating point intensive applications - or the advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU.<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi distributions that are optimized for ARMV6 and are optimized for "hard float" should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks.<br />
<br />
There are some info on the news groups that "hard float" optimization can speed up floating point operatins upto 10x, please read detailed discussion on Raspberry Pi forums - http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=61497#p61497<br />

==Fedora Remix==<br />
<br />
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is a Linux software distribution for the Raspberry Pi computer. It contains software packages from the Fedora Project (specifically, the Fedora ARM secondary architecture project), packages which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access. <br />
<br />
* [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix wiki page]<br />
<br />
==Debian (Squeeze/6.x)==<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/]<br />
<br />
[http://www.debian.org/ Debian] was the default distribution on the Alpha boards. Boot time depends on width & speed of SD-card. Alpha board boot into Debian prompt (no GUI) was timed taking about 34 seconds.<br />
<br />
The Debian distro for Raspberry Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop) and Midori (browser); development tools; and sample code for accessing the multimedia functionality on the device.<br />
<br />
==Arch==<br />
<br />
[http://archlinuxarm.org Arch Linux ARM] is based on [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch Linux], which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs. For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />
<br />
Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://archlinuxarm.org<br />
<br />
==Raspbian==<br />
<br />
Raspberry Pi + Debian = [http://www.raspbian.org Raspbian]. A project to create a hard float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in it's early phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
More information is available at http://www.raspbian.org<br />
<br />
==Moebius==<br />
A very compact ARM HF debian based distribution, it fits in a 1Gb SD card, has autoresizing features to better adapt to your SD card size and uses Raspbian huge repositories for installing everything you need. A wise configuration and a small memory footprint are ideal for an headless machine or for interacting with real word I/O devices, take a look at [http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/ Moebius Website]<br />

== Red Sleeve Linux ==<br />
[http://www.redsleeve.org/ Red Sleeve Linux] is a Linux distribution that aims to bring the RHEL clone design to the ARM architecture.<br />
There are images for several ARM devices including the Raspberry Pi.<br />
<br />
== IPFire ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ipfire.org IPFire] is an Open Source firewall distribution for x86 and ARM-based systems. It turns the Raspberry Pi computer into a small router for home networks and very small businesses. As the Raspberry Pi computer comes with only one NIC, it works perfectly as a 3G router without plugging in additional hardware.<br />
<br />
The generally small system that provides essential services for networks can be enhanced by addons which add new features to IPFire. So the system can be turned into a file server and much more.<br />

==OpenELEC==<br />
<br />
OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run [http://www.xbmc.org XBMC], the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player or Sky box. Instead of having to manage a full operating system, configure it and install the packages required to turn it into a hybrid media center, OpenELEC is designed to be simple to install, manage and use, making it more like running a set-top box than a full-blown computer.<br />

==Raspbmc==<br />
<br />
Raspbmc is a minimal Linux distribution based on Debian that brings XBMC to your Raspberry Pi. This device has an excellent form factor and enough power to handle media playback, making it an ideal component in a low HTPC setup, yet delivering the same XBMC experience that can be enjoyed on much more costly platforms. Raspbmc is brought to you by the developer of the Crystalbuntu Linux Distribution, which brings XBMC and 1080p decoding to the 1st generation Apple TV.<br />

==KidsRuby==<br />
<br />
KidsRuby is what it sounds like – a Ruby for kids – and it’s running beautifully on the Raspberry Pi. This is exactly the sort of application we want to see on the device, and we’re really pleased to see it up and running. It looks like there will be some optimisation for speed before we launch, but what’s there already is very useable.<br />

==GeeXboX ARM==<br />
<br />
GeeXboX is a free and Open Source Media-Center purposed Linux distribution for embedded devices and desktop computers. GeeXboX is not an application, it’s a full-featured OS, that one can boot as a LiveCD, from a USB key, an SD/MMC card or install on its regular HDD. The GeeXboX distribution is lightweight and designed for one single goal: embed all major multimedia applications as to turn your computer into an HTPC.<br />

<br />
==Ubuntu==<br />
<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] was initially planned to be the default distribution, but the current version of Ubuntu only supports ARMv7 onwards, not the ARMv6 architecture used by the Raspberry Pi's processor. Therefore Ubuntu does not work on Raspberry Pi, and there is no further information about this changing in the near future.<br />
<br />
A bug report on this subject was submitted to Ubuntu's bug tracker. The responses to that bug include an unofficial viewpoint from a Canonical employee, outlining the amount of work required to support ARMv6 (and therefore, potentially, Raspberry Pi).
