[TASK] [TEST]Raspberry Pi 2 config.txt

[rikardo1979]

Hi guys,

As the new Raspberry Pi 2 has a different hardware have you played with config.txt ?
What settings are the best to use? What have you tried so far?
Please use following code and post your values which works for you

Code:

gpu_mem_1024=xxx
arm_freq=xxx
core_freq=xxx
sdram_freq=xxx

My "Working" settings - tweaked from the original are: The freq, core and SDram we removed to use the default RPi2 defaults - which is faster. No ideea what the initramfs does, so commented that out.

Also mem=320 is a quess but seems to work well.

Code:

#initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000
gpu_mem_1024=320
initial_turbo=3
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
disable_overscan=1
disable_splash=1

Looks like this configuration has been added as standard, but with mem set at 256. (Time will tell if we need to increase this - but all seems fine at the moment)

Personally, I don't think much improvement can be gained. I tried upping the core and sdram to 500 and a voltage of 2 but it only gave a few extra seconds on sysbench.

I guess we could increase the initial_turbo but that's about it. The default settings are just perfect for what we want.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

BTW: Has a change been made to Xbian-config in the O/C section to STOP users setting the wrong options for a RPi2?

This is mine:

Code:

#initramfs initramfs.gz  0x1000000
gpu_mem_512=144
gpu_mem_256=100
initial_turbo=3
gpu_mem_1024=256
arm_freq=1000
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6

I'm currently running the same, but was wondering if over_voltage=6 isn't a bit too much for just a 10% overclock.

Don't know, works fine
