Benefits:

Get personal with your Pi. Welcome to the Raspberry Piimage 2, the single board computer that thinks it’s a home PC.

Enhanced Quad Core Processor and 1GB RAM now provides you with the opportunity to:

  • Build your own workstation – create and manage your documents and spreadsheets with ease using LibreOfficeimage
  • Faster and more enjoyable gaming – experience less lag and more seamless gaming in all your favourites. Can’t wait to demolish buildings in Minecraftimage, trigger your TNT now and be amazed by the results!
  • No more buffer face – boots up Raspbian in less than half the time as the Model B+
  • More power for your favourite projects – create Space Progammes, Time Lapse Videos, GPS tracking, HD audio and lots more with a full ecosystem of supporting accessories.
  • All your previous Raspberry Pi projects are 100% backward compatible with the new Raspberry Pi 2 Model B 1GB

Technical Specifications:

  • Broadcom BCM2837 Arm7 Quad Core Processor powered Single Board Computer running at 900MHz
  • 1GB RAM
  • 40pin extended GPIO
  • 4 x USB 2 ports
  • 4 pole Stereo output and Composite video port
  • Full size HDMI
  • CSI camera port for connecting the Raspberry Pi camera
  • DSI display port for connecting the Raspberry Pi touch screen display
  • Micro SD port for loading your operating system and storing data
  • Micro USB power source

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Features:

  • Broadcom BCM2837Arm7 Quad Core Processor powered Single Board Computer running at 900MHz
  • 1GB RAM so you can now run bigger and more powerful applications
  • Identical board layout and footprint as the Model B+, so all cases and 3rd party add-on boards designed for the Model B+ will be fully compatible.
  • Fully HAT compatible
  • 40pin extended GPIO to enhance your “real world” projects. GPIO is 100% compatible with the Model B+ and A+ boards. First 26 pins are identical to the Model A and Model B boards to provide full backward compatibility across all boards.
  • Connect a Raspberry Pi camera and touch screen display (each sold separately)
  • Stream and watch Hi-definition video output at 1080P
  • Micro SD slot for storing information and loading your operating systems.
  • Advanced power management:
  • You can now provide up to 1.2 AMP to the USB port – enabling you to connect more power hungry USB devices directly to the Raspberry PI. (This feature requires a 2Amp micro USB Power Supply)
  • 10/100 Ethernet Port to quickly connect the Raspberry Pi to the Internet
  • Combined 4-pole jack for connecting your stereo audio out and composite video out

  • Does anyone have advice on how you upgrade and modify an existing image like Raspbian?  We have a custom image for our robotics projects for the Raspberry Pi that need a custom image (link here).  Any hints on whether we'll need to release an entirely new image?

    Hello / wareagle5555

     

    Because you're using Raspbian, make sure you run:

     

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get upgrade -y

    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

    sudo rpi-update

     

    Before you switch your SD card over to the Raspberry Pi 2.

     

    If you find that it doesn't work, then just wait a week or so because the Raspbian repositories where apt-get pulls its updates are probably still being updated (I imagine they already are though).

     

    Also, note, that I have post-fixed the commands with '-y' this means that you will not be asked to press 'yes' or 'no' to update packages. If for whatever reason you don't want to update the packages you'll have to determine the right ones for the kernel to be updated to support the Pi 2.

     

    Hope that helps, also you might want to run "man apt-get" so you understand how to use your package manager for Raspbian. image
