Raspberry Pi: Baking Pi – Operating Systems Development

Raspberry Pi: Baking Pi – Operating Systems Development
This course has not yet been updated to work with the Raspberry Pi models B+ and A+. Some elements may not work, in particular the first few lessons about the LED. It has also not been updated for Raspberry Pi v2. Welcome to Baking Pi: Operating Systems Development! Course by Alex Chadwick. You can now help contribute to this tutorial on GitHub. This website is here to guide you through the process of developing very basic operating systems on the Raspberry Pi! This course takes you through the basics of operating systems development in assembly code. Rather than leading the reader through the full details of creating an Operating System, these tutorials focus on achieving a few common tasks separately. 1 Requirements 1.1 Hardware In order to complete this course you will need a Raspberry Pi with an SD card and power supply. 1.2 Software In terms of software, you require a GNU compiler toolchain that targets ARMv6 processors. 2 Lessons

How to install openelec on Raspberry pi with windows How to install openelec on Raspberry pi with windows : 23-06-2012 How to install openELEC / xbmc on the Raspberry Pi with Windows. Today was a very exciting day in the SquirrelHosting office. Not only did the postman turn up early but in his bag was a treat. A small, little soldered board of love, that's right our Raspberry Pi had arrived! The version we had ordered had come with the 4GB SD card with Arch Linux installed. Want to buy an SD card with Openelec already installed? Step 1 : Download all the needed files You will need the following A copy of SDFormatter ( The binary version of win32diskimager from this location: An image of openELEC (Download the latest image file at the bottom) or official images here Step 2 : Format the Memory Card First thing to do is to format the memory card. That's it.

Turtle Logo (programming language) for Kids - Home Raspberry PiPod | Experiences with the Raspberry Pi micro computer Xian has done a great job on this LEGO rover. It utilises Lego Power Functions and the Raspberry Pi and can be controlled via a web browser. He explains his build, with block diagrams and details on wiring and explains his use of the Navio board for controlling things. Nice job, Xian. Read about it here.

Building Your Own Super Computer Building Your Own Super - Building a Linux Cluster ( 4 ) Linux clusters are generally more common, robust, efficient and cost effective than Windows clusters. We will now look at the steps involved in building up a Linux cluster. Step 1 Install a Linux distribution (I am using Red Hat 7.1 and working with two Linux boxes) on each computer in your cluster. Usually, one node is designated as the master node (where you'll control the cluster, write and run programs, etc.) with all the other nodes used as computational slaves. Our cluster is private, so theoretically we could assign any valid IP address to our nodes as long as each has a unique value. If you already have Linux installed on each node in your cluster, then you don't have to make changes to your IP addresses or hostnames unless you want to. Finally, create identical user on each node. Step 2 We now need to configure rsh on each node in our cluster. Master DevArticle Slave DevArticle Master root Slave root tar zxfv mpich.tar.gz

Waterbear: Welcome The Raspberry Pi Guy On the 29th of February 2012 a credit card sized computer was released to the public... Not only did it kickstart my interests in programming, electronics and all things geeky but it also kindled the same passion in millions of others: affecting people of all different ages and abilities around the globe. What was this miraculous device? The Raspberry Pi. An affordable computer that anyone can buy and learn computing with. The Raspberry Pi will turn two years old in the upcoming months - that is two whole years of inspiration, projects and learning. All of the videos clips and images in this video are either my own or those that I found on YouTube and through Google images - it is all in the public eye already and I am dreadfully sorry if I have missed out something that you would have liked to have seen. I hope that you enjoy this video and join in with me in order to celebrate all things Pi! Here's to all of the years to come! MattThe Raspberry Pi Guy Sponsored by The Pi Hut!

The Ultimate List of Uses for Old Computers Are you wondering what to do with that old computer? Well, I will start by skipping the usual… I will not talk about the obvious uses which you probably already know like: “Sell it on eBay”, “Cannibalize it”, “Give it to the Kids”, “Donate it”, “Recycle it” etc. If you wanted to do any of those you wouldn’t be reading this article in the first place, would you? Or other uses that are simply not practical for 99.9% of us… Like building a cluster… That is, if you have more than one old pc, and are prepared to spend more on electricity than what these computers are worth. I am going to give you real no-nonsense uses, which will save you money, make your life easier, and will be plain fun. I will provide you with links that will help you and not just leave you with empty-handed suggestions. File server: I would venture to say that this is easily the most popular use for an old computer now days. Build your own TiVo: Build your own SLINGBOX: Want to watch programs at work?
