Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

Raspberry Pi 2

Raspberry Pi 2 (Model B ) is a popular single board computer developed with the intention of promoting teaching of basic computer science in schools. It is a successor to Raspberry Pi Model B+ with much faster processor and more RAM. FreedomBox images are built and tested for it. For using this board as FreedomBox, a USB WiFi device that does not require non-free firmware is recommended.

Note: For FreedomBox release 0.5, the Debian architecture used for this device is armel. This means floating point computations are done in software and most operations are slower than what Raspberry Pi 2 is capable of. Starting with FreedomBox release 0.6 separate armhf images with full hardware floating point support will be available.

Download

FreedomBox SD card images for this hardware are available. Follow the instructions on the download page to create a FreedomBox SD card and boot into FreedomBox.

Build Image

FreedomBox images for this hardware can be built using Freedom Maker.
