Hello Mauro, I will try to answer some of your questions below:
1. Arch linux image is not available from the raspberry-vi web site.
When will it be available again?
I took it off the site because I am about to release the next and much
better version. I am having some minor last minute problems with it but
it will be up in the next week.
2. How can I write the image into the SD card? In an accessible way I mean.
Last week I found a great Windows utility which is totally accessible
using the NVDA open source screen-reader. I will go find the link again
and repost it here.
3. If I place the image in the SD card and boot the Pi. Can I boot it
just with the headphones, without any display pluggged to the Pi? My
first goal is to run some programing compiler into the Pi, later is to
use the Pi to control and program an arduino.
Yes you can boot it and run in console mode with a keyboard and
headphones or a speaker connected. I am finding XWindows will not
correctly boot with no monitor connected. But as this is not yet
accessible that's hardly a problem. I am trying to find asolution for
fooling the X11 video driver (XF86-video-fbdev) into think there is a
display connected. I think that perhaps switching over to the composite
video output might fix that.
4. Is there some device which can provide power to the Pi unplugged from
the electricity? I mean something as bateries for the Pi. Thanks a lot.
=========================================================== The
The Pi will draw between 700 and 800 milliamps on a fairly modest
workload so it's abit hungry to power from normal batteries. Rill has
been powering hers from a rechargeable portable power cell designed for
recharging mobile phones on the move.
Accessible Arch version 2 coming this week, I promise.
