PS Does the code have to be written for multi threading on the multi core pi, or does the pi have inbuilt ability to use the extra cores automatically?

Depends on the programmers. My program pilight is fully multi-threaded so that will benefit greatly.

I believe it's all done on kernel level, but let's the clever ones reply

It's here! Tongue

Now to investigate the gpio pins on this one and test it's power draw.

Kodi/XBMC is already multithreaded, can use up to 8 threads simultaneously.

Is the current version of Xbian compatible with RPi 2, if not do we have any idea when builds will become available?

great to hear this Smile

so XBian should really benefit from the extra CPU cores once the preview-release problems are fixed

That one needs to be dd-ed right? (The usual installer won't work?!)

RE: RPi 2 Quad core. - CurlyMo - 6th Feb, 2015 10:57 PM

Not yet, first need feedback. You can also use win32diskimager.

How is the first impression regarding performance, is the hardware upgrade really noticeable with XBian?

RE: RPi 2 Quad core. - igorkulman - 7th Feb, 2015 12:07 AM

I have RPi 2 running the XBIAN build from this thread. XBMC seems faster, but not as much as I expected.

I tried OSMC and XBMC in this distro seems much faster on RPi 2 than in XBIAN on RPi 2.

Thanks! Accessing xbian via ssh with no screen and everything seems to be working !
