Re: [LAU] Raspberry PI, internal audio IF + testing new USB IF

The people in the Pi community just shrug about this. It's unacceptable to me. Bought my first RPi in the Fall of 2012 and that one, including all the ones that came after it, have not eaten any SD card in my case. Had my share of corrupted filesystems though but no faulty SD's. The Raspberry developers solved this problem by doubling the number of USB ports on the new B+ units... without fixing any of the problems... so now you can have twice the fail. The implementation is not that good but I can live with it. I've had to turn off USB2 mode anyway, so the Ethernet is beat-the-dog slow too. If you disable Turbo mode for the ethernet interface network is a wee bit slower but USB performance is better. documenting a few of the features of the I/O ports. There's no actual databook, like any good CPU core or SOC would have. That's surely a major drawback. built-in flash either (another thing touted as a feature that I consider a design limitation). I call it a feature, takes away the complexity of picky bootloaders like uBoot. Flash memory is nice but apart from not having to buy a SD card for a couple of bucks I don't really see the advantage of it. On my Cubieboard2 I don't get any noticable performance gain when running the OS from flash. you'll need to get it to do work, you could buy a better-engineered platform for the same price. And the Pi is slower than many of the other platforms in its price range. The community is huge, I'd call that a valuable economical asset. But then I have no notion of how big the other communities are at the moment. mature, well-documented platform, or any number of the new exciting ARM-based platforms coming out if you wanted to venture into something new. pro-bono and professionally, and I would not recommend the platform to anyone. The RPi is just not made for professional use. If you need an ARM development board for professional use I'd recommend a Beagleboard, Cubieboard, Odroid or any other board that doesn't have the aformentioned issues with the onboard audio, USB, ethernet, documentation etc. But then in my experience most of these alternatives are more expensive than a RPi. not been good. I like 'm but I can imagine people really having issues with them. I jumped the bandwagon not expecting much of it. So far the RPi exceeds my expectations for a $35 computing device.
