What is your feeling of pi as a Plan9 terminal? such as display size, speed etc. I use ( am using now) a pi for a plan9 terminal. it is not very quick, I would not compile on it, but then that is not what a terminal is for. If you accept that it is only a terminal then it is superb. It boots

If each individually works, chances are this is power related. Make sure it has enough power (5v @ 2A should more than suffice but not all adapters marked so meet their stated rating). There are two test points on the RPi. The voltage difference between the two should be close to 5V under load.

Hello list! Are there any pointers or short instructions or a HOWTO or something similar on the art of cross-compiling Plan 9 from Linux? I've recently decided to start using Plan 9 and, because I am a fucking lunatic, I've decided to download the source code (from plan9.bell-labs.com) and

Hey guys, I was going to sit down and build my raspberry pi file-server today but I've just came into ownership of an Acer Revo L80. I've been given it for free because it is broken. After the usual diagnostics it looks like the RAM chip is dead ~400MB. I'm thinking this may make a good

Thanks for the suggestions. The keyboard + mouse work fine with Linux. In fact they work on Plan 9 together, but only for a few seconds before I get: kb: /dev/usb/ep6.1: read: i/o error kb: exiting usbotg: ep5.1 error intr 0082 usb/kb... kb: exiting Sometimes it recovers, but it's not

I use a standard dell keyboard and LCD display at 1920x1600. Wow, you have big screen! I only have a 20 small LCD TV, I don't watch TV much. its the perfect plan9 terminal IMHO. Indeed! pi can deal with wireless network? Kenji PS: I decided to perchase it.
