General info about the ACKspace Raspberry Pi board

For quick starters, Power is provided via the µ-USB or via GPIO pins. There is (standard) no USB slave software available when you plug in the device to your host (for stupido's this means,you won't see the device)

Note

There is a Raspberry Pi in the space for you to experiment with. If your RasPi project makes it to raspberrypi.org, hackaday.com or the like, I (Xopr) will give you that RasPi. For convenience, bring your own >=2GB SD card.

RPi XBMC

If you want to use XBMC on your RPi, you can use either of the following images.
RaspBMC (still in beta, use the release found on the frontpage!)
OpenELEC (remember that you have to setup a complete build environment for this one)
OpenELEC-07062012.tar.bz2 Download a complete working OpenELEC image for the RPi. Later here will be described how to install this image onto a SD card.
