The alpha boards are here!

Raspberry Pi
August 12, 2011
Our alpha boards arrived from the factory earlier today. Dom has been able to boot Linux, and access the SD card and network. We’ll have some demos filmed for you by the end of the week, but in the meantime, we thought you might like a closer look at the board itself. Here’s a video of Eben talking about the board and some of the hardware on it. The background howling is Mooncake, the Raspberry Pi Cat, and the horrible grinding sounds during the closeups are signals that I need a new video camera.
The console output from Debian booting and pinging the BBC website is under the fold, if you want a closer look at what’s under the hood. (You can scroll the console window left and right.)
I’ve also got a couple of pictures here from Gert, who got snapping as soon as the box was opened this afternoon. These are nice hi-res pictures, so click through if you want all the gory detail. Thanks to Dom and Gert for all their work on getting things up and running today.
