Is this real? - Raspberry Pi Model B+

[Mortimer]

I stumbled across a load of references to a new model of Raspberry Pi:



Various blogs mention it :
http://hackaday.com/2014/07/13/introduc ... erry-pi-b/
http://liliputing.com/2014/07/is-a-rasp ... e-way.html

The German RS website has it, with datasheets:
http://de.rs-online.com/web/p/entwicklu ... r/8111284/
And mechanical schematic:

They have a partial schematic which shows connections and a few bits around the power inlet, including what looks like a power health LED.

So...

Is this real? An accidental slip of information?

[riklaunim]

A leak and it's quite real as RS and others don't do in science fiction or fantasy

[jdb]

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.

Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see...

You are not the first to post this. Others threads got deleted. Wonder why this one is still up? Torquemada on holiday?

It's real. I suspect an official announcement will follow tomorrow morning.

[mikerr]

Mods gone to bed?

This thread will self destruct in ...

Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me

I'm just a poor boy

I need no sympathy

Cos it's easy come, easy go

[Mortimer]

I haven't been online all day, been busy seeing to the new house, so I didn't get to see the other posts.

If this one is deleted?... Meh! The RPF's prerogative I suppose, but would seem a bit silly when the cat is well and truly out of the bag.

I live in the USA its only 5:30 (17:30) here.

Until tomorrow, don't expect any official answers.

Mama

I just killed a man

Blame scone.

[ukscone]

Put a gun against his head

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
( See what happens when you leak?)

Mama, life had just begun

And now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooo00oooh

Didn't mean to make you cry

[cyrano]

That's what I figured. Maybe they couldn't let anything leak on the 13th? It's after midnight, so we're the 14th and that's the release date on the German Element 14 site.

I picked it up on Hackaday.

From reading the 3 pdf's:

- It seems analog video and audio have been combined on one 3,5 mm jack. Maybe 4 pins?
- What's a "reset circuit"? Push button?
- Different voltage regulator. Less power consumption?

[ukscone]

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

Too late

My time has come

Sent shivers down my spine,

Body's aching all the time.

Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

5V 2A power supply requirements suggests fully powered USB, and maybe also more power on GPIO.

After HackADay it seems RPi foundation has realized deleting posts is futile.

With the PCB corner radius it looks like the RPi will finally fit in an altoid tin.

Mama, ooh anyway the wind blows,

I don't wanna die,

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

[mimi123]

It is real.
Just see IRC logs if you care about that.

Interesting. Hoping to read more soon, but just keeping this thread alive (it's going to take all my time and money, honey).

Finally an announcement appears on the blog:

Beat me too it

probably similar to the NowTV/Roku composite audio out? that cable is about a fiver from Sky might be cheaper elsewhere.
