Hi Alexandre,
I have two Raspberry Pis and one Banana Pi. I might be interested in an implementation but my feeling is - the Banana Pi is more worth to work with. It's nearly as cheap as the Raspberry but is a lot better designed and more powerfull:
Raspberry Pi Model B+ Banana Pi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoC Broadcom BCM2835 Allwinner A20 CPU ARM1176JZF-S (700 MHz bis 1000 MHz) ARM Cortex-A7 Dual-Core (1000 MHz) GPU Broadcom VideoCore IV ARM Mali 400MP2 RAM 512 MByte 1 GByte DDR3 DRAM LAN 10/100 MBit/s 10/100/1000 MBit/s GPIO 17 Pins 26 Pins, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN bus SATA 7-Pin-SATA-Port USB 4x USB 2.0 Host 2x USB 2.0 Host, 1x USB OTG, 1x CSI Kamera MISC Onboard Micro und IR-Receiver SIZE 85,6 mm x 56,0 mm 92,0 mm x 60,0 mm
Price here in Germany: 29 € versus 44 €

Hi,
Interesting! But I saw some persons having trouble with its network reliability, but the Pi is not perfect too... 1gb of Ram definitely helps.
I'll look at making the image. I don't know yet if I'll use the image provided here as a base or simply Raspbian.

Banana Pi has ARM7, so that it could work an official Debian Wheezy for armhf.

Hi,
I'm currently downloading the raspbian tde image for testing.
-Alexandre
G'day Trinity Gurus, 1. I downloaded the image ... http://ftp.fau.de/trinity/embeddedimages/raspberrypi/debian/2013-09-25-wheezy-raspbian-tde.img.bz2 2. Checked the sha512sum -- OK 3. Wrote the image to a class 10 MicroSD card with bzcat.
This image does not boot in a model B+ 'Pi which is the only model now available here in remote rural Geriatria. That makes sense as the files in the FAT32 (firmware) partition are much too old for the B+. So borrowed an older model B (no +) and a MicroSd to SD adapter -- boots fine, get the expected raspi-config for initial setup, but no sign of tde/trinity. apt-get update, apt-get upgrade gets lots of updates/upgrades (including, I think, the newer firmware files that may/should be B+ compatible - will recheck this later). Still no tde/trinity. Please, what do I need to do to install tde/trinity, in GOF-speak thanks. Ta, Glen

Well the last time I tried it (1 year ago) it was working. It is likely that somewhere along the line the updates started failing, leading to a peculiar XFCE-less RPi image without TDE installed. :-P
I'll download the latest Raspbian image and see if I can fix up the auto-generation system.
Tim
Thanks, Tim,

XFCE is there and works as expected, just no TDE/Trinity.

FWIW. Just checked, the update/upgrade replaces the firmware files so it now boots into a model B+ and remains backwards-compatible with the B. Mark +one for the Debian/Raspbian folk. :-)

This one will take a bit longer to fix than I had anticipated; not only did the Raspbian devs upgrade binutils on the image but not in the repository (thus causing the TDE installation failure) but to top it off the image ran out of space during installation. Now I need to implement image resizing...

Hi,
Yeah, I downloaded the image and it contains no trace of TDE at all. Its only like the basic Raspbian image... I guess that the image can be slightly bigger with today's not-too-expensive large SDHC cards. Also, is it possible to ship it with iceweasel please? Midori is quite problematic on many websites and is not much faster at all.
Thank you! -Alexandre

Sure, Iceweasel is now included. The image generator has been repaired and new images compatible with the B+ should be available in the next few days.
Thanks!
