RPi Easy SD Card Setup - Raspberry PI Community Projects

USB RFID Reader
JTAG
▪ Unbranded 125KHz EM4100 RFID reader from eBay sellers (< £7), the one with
a Windows logo on (easily scratches off for Linux users).
▪ Initially would not work when plugged in directly to RPi. Worked when
connected via an unpowered Trust hub. Worked after RPi was modified
with 10K resistors over the USB polyfuses (warranty invalidated).
Probably would work fine with powered hub.
▪ Sends a 10 digit string to current window or console as if it was a
keyboard. Can be captured independently of keyboard using Linux event
interface (/dev/input) but kernel in current distributions does not have
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV selected so kernel rebuild is necessary.
▪ FTDI2232D dual RS232/FIFO based JTAG (e.g. SheevaPlug JTAGKey USB-ID
9e88:9e8f)
▪ works using the RPi as a development host
USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader
▪ US Robotics All-In-One Multi-Format Card Reader (Product # USR8420)
Accepts 5 cards simultaneously
▪ SD/MMC + MS/MS PRO or DUO/DUO PRO + CF/MD + SM + SD/
MMC or MS/MS PRO. Useful for backing up cards containing other OS
Distros
PS2 / AT to USB Converters
▪ Unbranded active converter known as the "blue cube". Based on the Cypress
CY7C63723C 8 bit RISC. Please see http://geekhack.org/
showwiki.php?title=PS2-to-USB+adapters for more information.
Note that although the adapter might work, PS/2 keyboards were not designed to be low
power USB devices, so they might not meet the requirement to work with considerable
lowered supply voltage (4.4 volt) provided by the USB ports of the raspberry PI. These
keyboards should work when powered by a powered hub.
Tested PS2/AT keybords
All above tested with the famous "blue cube" on a powered USB hub.
▪ IBM Model F (please note requires an additional AT to PS2 converter)
▪ Dell AT101w
