== Raspberry Pi audio problems == |
|||
There seems to be numerous and consistent reports that the audio of the first batch of Raspberry Pi boards produce numerous clicks and popping. There are a number of work-a-rounds on the web, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoerR5l_Cwc a patch that results in some buzzing instead of "clicks"], and even a kickstarter project that is a dongle that plugs into the board for an attempt at better audio. I wanted to get other's views and inputs on this before I add a new section to the article. In fact, I originally came to this article looking for information concerning this apparent problem with the boards. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTeUE_NeRDM Here is a video of apparently loud clicking coming through], Perhaps the section could go into how audio is generated on the Rapsberry Pi (i.e. via the PWMs) [[User:Nodekeeper|Nodekeeper]] ([[User talk:Nodekeeper|talk]]) 09:43, 27 August 2013 (UTC) |

:The clicking problem was caused by turning the PWM engines on only when analog audio was needed. It was solved with a software update months ago. HDMI audio wasn't affected. [[User:Mahjongg|Mahjongg]] ([[User talk:Mahjongg|talk]]) 12:52, 27 August 2013 (UTC) |

Nomination of Raspbian for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Raspbian is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raspbian until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

FSF free hardware criteria and Videocore
Hi, https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv According to other sources the Pi doesn't fulfill the FSF free hardware critera. Maybe that should be included in the article (or at least be included when it will be). I'm not sure the above link shows any indication that they are making any progress on that (maybe not intented to?). But there seems to be some progress in "freeing" (parts of?) the GPU binary blob (bootloader/firmware?). I haven't waded throught this all open source project but there might be something to report from there. comp.arch (talk) 10:35, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell, the RPF has never even hinted that they would ever be open hardware. Some of their competitors (Odroid, Wandboard) are open hardware, but they have more features and a higher price. --Guy Macon (talk) 13:34, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
No new version (Model C or otherwise) of the RaspberryPi until Sept 2015 at earliest
Should a note be placed in the article to state that there will be no new version of the RaspberryPi until September 2015 at the earliest? See http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=56598 "Eben Upton, Founder, has stated in public that he would expect a NEW board between two and three years from now (Sept 2013)." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.64.3.2 (talk) 04:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
