Title: Raspberry Pi Version 2
Post by: gs001 on February 17, 2015, 02:41:55 AM

I received my Raspberry Pi version 2 today, and successfully installed HG on it.

I started with the 2015/01/30 release of Raspbian (which supports the new quad core processor), installed Mono and HG, and it took right off with absolutely no issues.

As you probably know, the RasPi Version 2 has a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (versus a single core A6 Cpu on the first version), and 1 meg of memory (vs a half meg). Not a bad deal for 35 bucks  :)

I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but it appears to be stable. It'll be interesting to see what the performance gain will be.

Thanks for catching that - my age is starting to show.  :)

My first computer had 4K of memory, and I was able to ad ram to get it all the way up to 64K. Ah, the good old days.....
