I love the RPi and what it has done to introduce computing/programming/linux to more people. However I can't get past how unreliable booting from an SD card has been for me. I know reliability depends heavily on the SD card u

Slightly off topic. I have yet to be convinced that non-native applications is the way of the future? It seems like the current trend is to make everything run in the browser these days. I don't really have an argument against it but

Wow! This blog exemplifies someone whom I wish I could be. I am an EE who is hopelessly enamored with the idea of one day becoming at least proficient in mechanical design. I better get going. I am not getting any younger

Automated backups are useful. However how often can you backup? If you are hacking/experimenting backing up after every change seems too resource intensive

People at radiolab tried this out. I am skeptical about it but there seem to be some empirical evidence to support it? http://www.radiolab.org/story/9-volt-nirvana/

excuse my ignorance but does that mean if one is to use a locally administered address a device is free to take whatever they please? What would be advantage of paying to the IEEE for a universally administered block?

I am currently working with a startup company developing controls for solar water heating system, commercial lighting/climate control/monitoring and finally monitoring for large conventional water heaters - exciting i know ;) -.

If you are in the US, I'd say that's one of the best bets. Although it's a little expensive I think it's one of the best supported platforms.

I am glad to see Contiki getting some "air time" I have been working with this for the past year and I think it has great potential. One of the great things that Contiki has going for itself is the community. It's very activ

That's a shame, I wish I had known about this before I might have been able to put something together and present. The start-up I work with is heavily invested in developing mesh networking devices.

I am on a W520 and things worked fairly well until I decided to connect an external monitor. Has this problem gotten anywhere in the past year or so?

Correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding that you can still have read problems on an RO SD card. In fact I was recently reading a Micron Application note that explained that the mere act of reading it could cause bit-flips.

by maguirre 13y ago
You are correct. I jumped the gun. This in fact will probably be worse that having a removable SD card.

by maguirre 13y ago
It's about time they put some FLASH on-board. SD card has proven time and time again an unreliable medium. You never know if the device would boot up after a "dirty shutdown"
