Title: Within the system memory 256 and not 512
Post by: hpcarlos on January 14, 2013, 09:22:56 AM

My Raspberry Pi Model B is 512MB.
But using Picore he only gets 256MB.
How do I enable the 512MB?

Sorry for my english, I'm brazilian and I'm starting with Tinycore now and so far I'm loving it.

Current image is for the 256M version. I have to grab an 512M version, please wait for few days.

Carlos,

please try this image:

It is expected to recognize 512M. Let me know the result.

P.S: It is compatible with the 256M version too.

 Hope you don't mind me jumping in here but i've been planning to try the X version of TC for some time and on seeing this i had to give it a go and it works a treat on my 512mb Pi.
 Free reports total memory as 448724 so i guess that means 64mb reserved for the video core as standard? Early impressions are very good and it is extremely fast so i'll throw a few apps at it and see how it goes.
 Cheers, Protaganist.

Thanks bmarkus, I still had not seen the post.
I will test and home tonight, I'm at work now.

I wanted only the MicroCore, but I will also test the PicoreX.

In my project I need to run ruby redis-server and only that.

Can you tell me if the communication with the GPIO is working?

The latest image has only added support for 512MB, it still boots to Command Line

Please be more specific. How do you want to use GPIO?
