Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus
Announced today by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
New SoC based on the previous but now clocked at 1.4Ghz, New Wifi chipset, Gigabit Ethernet (but over USB 2.0 so not really gigabit ?? Any input about this would be appreciated ). Any idea if the current Pi 3 image will work on this revision? :) :) |

Sure, already have some points figured out what has to be changed and/or tested 1) B+ has different ethernet controller, the driver is already built in 4.14 kernel as module, but not in kernel. Has to be changed in future 2) XBian is using rpi_revision tool (this one) to check which hardware is running. Maybe this tool has to be updated 3) WLAN - Maybe new firmware file required 4) Bluetooth ? 5) New firmware package required (xbian-package-firmware) ? |

RE: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus
Arrived today. Not much time to play with it so I have only tried to boot with existing XBian from my Pi3.
No good, does not boot at all, blank screen with nothing on it ![]() ![]() ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

Oh nice it's a heatsink so theoretically i don't need to put another one... I have one on the P1 1 B but i think i overdid it... Thank you for the site, sadly it appear they do not sell outside the UK ![]() :) :) |

RE: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus
Just wondering, what system should work on this new RPi?
I have tried the latest NOOBS and Raspbian stretch but all I see is flashing red LED... And my PSU is a very good power block with 5V/4A! ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

I was reading that NOOBS 2.5 is required for Pi3B+, but latest Raspbian Stretch (March Release) should work, IMO ![]() Will see how my Pi3B+ will work, DHL has announced that they will deliver the parcel today ![]() |
