The Ethernet chip is a new one tho - maybe it's a little less terrible?
(No idea - my applications for the rpi don't depend on it being a speed demon on the network.)
- jedahan 12y agothe ethernet chip seems to just be the 4 usb-port version instead of the 2 usb-port version.
- Alupis 12y agoThe Ethernet speeds are limited by both the USB bus it's riding on, as well as the slow CPU processing power. Although, for most of my projects so far, it's been plenty fast.
- tlrobinson 12y agoAny recommendations for similar small/cheap devices with better Ethernet?
- fanf2 12y agoHave a look at the Beaglebone Black.
- kephra 12y agoBut as far as I read, the PI can still not boot over Ethernet, which is a requirement for me to boot into backup cycle (Installation = Restore), and it still can not wakeup on LAN.
- duskwuff 12y agoIf you load U-Boot onto an SD card, the rPi can be configured to use that to boot over Ethernet. It's not a completely "pure" network boot, but that's impossible given the hardware. (There's simply nowhere for a bootloader to live besides the SD card.)
- Alupis 12y agoYou need some sort of bootloader, even in a traditional PXE boot scenario... it's just that your BIOS hands off to the bootloader on your onboard PXE chip instead of to your OS's bootloader, etc. So, it's chain-booting no matter how you slice it. You can setup your SD card to have U-Boot and not much else... just what's necessary for U-Boot to, well, boot. Then it takes over and does it's network boot of your full OS. So you can get a sort-of PXE boot setup.
