Raspberry Pi $35 ARM Processor Credit Card Sized Computer
« on: September 05, 2012, 01:57:43 am »

Hey guys how is everyone doing?

So, I received my order of Raspberry Pi $35 credit card sized computer. I am currently installing Raspbian a  Debian distro optimized for the pi device. What I want to do is setup a GES server on this thing and hopefully run a 10 player server? 8 players? idk ill test once i get the damn thing to work haha

Took me 3 months to get it. I find this pretty cool that it plays video files up to 1080p.


Specs

"The SoC is a Broadcom BCM2835. This contains an ARM1176JZFS, with floating point, running at 700Mhz, and a Videocore 4 GPU. The GPU is capable of BluRay quality playback, using H.264 at 40MBits/s. It has a fast 3D core accessed using the supplied OpenGL ES2.0 and OpenVG libraries."

"The GPU provides Open GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode.

The GPU is capable of 1Gpixel/s, 1.5Gtexel/s or 24 GFLOPs of general purpose compute and features a bunch of texture filtering and DMA infrastructure.

That is, graphics capabilities are roughly equivalent to Xbox 1 level of performance. Overall real world performance is something like a 300MHz Pentium 2, only with much, much swankier graphics."

i never played around with debian in the past. So, I put Arch Linux for which I am familiar with, and its running like a champ.

Too bad you cant run steam/ges on this. I could take it anywhere and play it on the tv.

I want to install the QtonPi distribution since I love Qt and can probably code some mean apps for it.
