There is only one SD card image, it supports all armv6 and armv7 RPi boards!

Please read README and don't forget to expand mmcblk0p2 partition according to your needs to make room for persistent data and installed applications.

If you need the basic TC GUI, install TC.tcz from the repository.

Well, this has gone without much fanfare.   I updated my dev rpi2 to 8.1 and it seems just fine.

You might want to make a note that the 8.1 image is required for the new RPI2B rev 1.2 board that was release in Q4 of 2016.   

bmarkus:
Paul, thanks for the feedback.

jgrulich:
Paul,

not really, the Rev1.2 RPi2B requires only firmware update, it works with piCore 7.x too.

Paul_123:
I said image.   Most users wouldn't know how to upgrade firmware on an image that they had.
