[SGVLUG] Raspberry Pi SIG Kickoff meeting Thu 9/20 @ 7pm

[Matthew Campbell]

Some other news I missed.  At the meeting I repeated the old recommendation
not to power a Pi off the same hub the USB ports are connected to.  Our
last order of Pis were Rev 03 which include the following release note:

*USB Output Power*

The resetable fuses protecting the USB outputs have been removed. This
feature was implemented on some later revision 1.0 PCBs by replacing the
fuses with links; revision 2.0 permanently implements this modification. It
is now possible to reliably power the RPI from a USB hub that back feeds
power, but it is important that the chosen hub cannot supply more than 2.5A
under fault conditions.


Here's the dump off my board:

matt at blackberry:83% cat /proc/cpuinfo
Processor       : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)
BogoMIPS        : 697.95
Features        : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant     : 0x0
CPU part        : 0xb76
CPU revision    : 7
Hardware        : BCM2708
Revision        : 0003
Serial          : 00000000bdb59d50

Hopefully the rev 4 boards (with mounting holes and 'Made in UK' screening)
will be shipped with our new order.
