2000 Raspberry Pi's are now in the UK.You can see pictures of them leaving

They don't even know if it can be sold in the EU or if the whole batch
will have to be scrapped.

Back in the real world, increasingly it looks like RS and Farnell are
attempting to sell vapourware.

In short nothing.

They need CE marks before they can be sold.

Had a message from Farnell yesterday saying that they are assisting
with the CE testing and inviting me to place an order.

Is this a difficult thing to get? I have seen some utter utter crap on
sale on these glorious shores, so I can't believe it's particularly
difficult to get. Or is it a case of brown envelopes, sir?

It can go on the packaging or the documentation.

Oh, you mean they haven't even been *tested*, or at least self
certified? What a cock-up.

You don't want to go actually testing them, you never know what you
might find actually slapping a label on them and producing a
declaration of conformity is much easier

They were hoping they wouldn't have to CE mark them as they a
component part

No, this is a separate problem. It's the CE problem...they understood
that they could sell them without CE because they were 'unfinished' (not
in cases, etc.). They've now been told that is not so.

Rubbish.
The other kit will have the isolating transformers so it is safe.
The Pi might get killed by PoE.

Just for once, Dennis got something right. The first batch of Rasperry
Pis were made with non-isolating ethernet sockets, and applying Power
Over Ethernet would fry the board. So they had to delay release while
the factory installed the correct sockets with the built-in isolating
transormer.

No, that had nothing to do with the CE approval, which is a second
problem. And the one being discussed here.

dennis leapt in with both feet once again.

Probably a case of them thinking that would be how they'd do it when the
RPi foundation were going to manufacture an sell themselves, but
RS/Farnell deciding they weren't happy now that *they* are licensed to
do the manufacturing and selling.

No, Deniis still dint get it right.

He said 'the Pi'. Not 'Pis' or 'your Pi' or 'the Pis' any of which
might refer to one or more rasberry Pis. No, he used the term 'the Pi'
which has only one meaning outside of discuussion of a particular board
(which we weren't') and that is the whole company or concept of Rasberry
Pis. And it would be hard to imagine them dying..juts on account of a
batch of faulty production units,.

Secondly if you bother to THINK about it, one thing you can be 100%
sure of in todays H & S culture is that whatever else may or may not be
inside a PoE adapter some way of making sure than mains voltages do not
appear anywhere on the RJ45 socket is likely to be one of them.

So its more likely than not that PoE will actually be far far less
likely to fry one of the faulty units.

Dennis has succeeded in making you take a casual glance and speak
without thinking in his defence: You must be relatively new here or you
would have learnt that the default stance is that anything dennis says
is wrong or ill conceived and understood or badly expressed.

The rare occasion that he is in fact right is usually over something so
well known and trivial, it's not worth commenting on.

Typical TNP, can't even remember what has been posted and associate the
missing isolating transformers on the Pi with the possibility of applying a
18+V supply directly across chips on the Pi.
TNP really is becoming more stupid by the post.

I was wondering that as well. The voltage used to detect the "I'm PoE
capeable" resistor is 2.7 to 10.1v. The full supply voltage, which is
some what higher than 18v, is not supplied until there has been some
handshaking.

Well I know that some of them just put ~18V out without any detection.
It won't harm any correctly implemented Ethernet device and it just isn't
worth it for cheap devices.
Have a look at any PoE plug in adapter.

There are some devices that borrow the unused pairs from 10/100 ethernet
and just shove 12V down them in a brute force method, but they are not
802.2af devices, which is what most people would take by PoE now

Is that what Cisco do these days, they weren't compliant last time I looked

Yes, newer Cisco access points are standards compliant, but some of
their older ones were among those using the dumb method.

Lucky you. I ordered on day 1 but have been told end of June for
delivery :-(


Mine's coming tomorrow.

When did you order yours?

(I think mine was ordered at about 4pm on the 29th of Feb)


0830 on the first morning. There was a lull - I think everyone else was
going to work!

Hmm.. I ordered mine around 10am on the first morning. Had an email from
Farnell a while ago saying ETA of this week, heard nothing since.

When I saw your post I logged into onecall but can't see my order at all
in the order history...

Wonder if my order has somehow vanished? :-/

MIne was actually delayed a few days because the credit card I used to
order has since been cancelled (long story). But they phoned me last week
for new details.

Not obviously.

Anyway, just gave them a ring and yes the order is still there (they don't
know why I can't see it but I don't particularly care about that).

Just need to wait - might be this week \o/

I ordered by phone because the web site was not working. They
originally told me the end of April. I phoned in May and was told end
of June.

You're probably an old-hand at this, but I put some initial setup hints he

If your using the supplied Debian, then note that the password and group
files are somewhat "creative" - an a pwck / grpck is suggested...
