Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am trying to find the schematics for the Pi 2?

Are they available?

Sorry, this should have been a discussion, not a blog. My mistake!

Nice try. It is indeed the revision 2 but unfortunately it is the original Raspberry Pi version 2. Confused ... The date is Oct 2012 and it has 26 pin GPIO. Mark

RasPi has never been open-source hardware. It took ages to get schematics of the original RasPi Model B 1.0, and we've never seen Gerbers of any of the RasPi PCBs.

There's a good definition of OSHW at the element14's OSHW group: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/open-source-hardware

John,

thanks for the replay. Things from the first version are evolved and the closure too. if you take a look to this thread http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=55777&p=422729 you see what I mean. When I worked in the first development team around the PI first release, excluding - obviously - the inside-chip features most of the parts were not covered by any sort of protecion and anyway well documented. Now things seems to me a bit more commercial and as a matter of fact it seems impossible for example that someone decide to keep the PI2 information and make his own board based on this design then adding or changing something more.

For me is not a problem, it is only a consideration.
