RPi rev 2.0 explained

Former Member

Eben has a front-page story up explaining rev 2.0.

It does fix the 1.8V problem, although no credit where

credit is due to Jamodio or any of the others here for

finding, characterizing, and reporting the problem.

 

No mention that I can see of FCC/CE residential

certification.  I assume the needed minor pcb changes

were made, but perhaps certification has not been

done yet.

p.s.

   hopefully element14 will explain to their customers

how to be sure to get rev 2.0 when ordering.

    There was mention that P5 would not be populated, at least for now.

     

    I've not found a use for P2 yet, what are you doing with it that would require you to solder one on ?   Unless I misunderstood, thet were allowing all of the arm jtag to appear on P5 ?

    P2 has a 3v3 pin and 2 GND pins that could be useful.

    P5 is the main expansion of the GPIO and will include GPIO 7 -10 (4 extra ones onto of the current 8 GPIOs) and will include an extra 5v, 3v3 and 2 GNDs.

     

    That is why I though It was interesting that they were not populated when they can be used as GPIO or extra power.


    Also, the P2 header is currently populated on the current board - why would you need to change this when it is aready on?

     

    Strange.
