Raspberry PI Arrived

[Jim Kutsch]

Amanda,
Thank you.  I thought I figured that out late yesterday but haven't tried it
yet.  Your confirmation is appreciated.  Now it's just a question of which
distro to use.  Do you have something working with Speakup?

Any idea what happened to the Raspberry PI Fedora 17 Remix that Seneca
College promised for last May?  There are lots of wiki and email mentions of
how it was going to be available in May but then everything went quiet.  No
mentions since then.

Jim

Hi Jim and all,

Cygwin will work for copying the img file to the SD card. As soon as I get a
better net connection I will get the information together and post
instructions to the list.

Austin,
Many thanks for passing this along.

I would have preferred using Fedora on the PI but the PI version of ARM
Fedora is no longer available on their download page and I can't find it
anywhere else.  All other articles point to the R PI download page.

I downloaded the Debian and Arch images and thought I'd check out both.
At the moment, I'm looking for something accessible to copy the img file to
the SD card.  My Linux box doesn't have an SD card reader and the Win 7
package I found isn't Jaws friendly.  Next is to consider Cygwin..

I found this article about getting Alsa to work with Arch Linux:
http://zerzer.x303.cc/2012/06/05/installing-alsa-on-raspberry-pi-and-archl
in
uxarm/
Hopefully that can help even though you use Debian. It basically came down
to loading the snd-bcm2835 module with modprobe, then doing alsactl init
Then espeak should work.

gotten it working, but haven't gotten Speakup working yet. I get errors with
the portaudio alsa bridge or something. It says no such device. I'll dive
deeper. Definitely a cool project. I wrote a little article about it.
