[arm-allstar] RPi2 Update

Fri Mar 27 06:44:13 EST 2015

Hello Doug, 
Thanks for the update as I have been wanting to get a node up and running on either the BBB or the RPi platform.
In the past I was under the impression that the BBB was the better platform to run Allstar on, but from your latest post below, it sounds like the new RPi2 in the more capable board, probably a faster and more capable processor?
I was going to pick up the BBB this weekend, should I be looking at the RPi2 instead?
Thanks for any insight you can offer.
Best regards, 
Luke - KK7XX

 Subject: [arm-allstar] RPi2 Update

As I know many of you are eagerly waiting for the RPi2 image I wanted to give you an update. We are at our last Alpha and so far only very minor problems which have all been corrected. Overall it looks like it is going to be a winner. I expect beta testing late this week and V1.0 release should be around Easter.

Once the RPi2 code is released we will be working on the 1.3 release of the BBB code. The BBB 1.3 release and the RPi2 1.0 release will track very closely in features but expect future RPi2 releases to have many more features and certainly more capability than the BBB. 

Once we get the final beta package together later this week I will give a more detailed description of what will be in the RPi2 1.0 release.
