This is our second distro, Occidentalis v0.2. Rubus occidentalis is the black raspberry. It is derived from Raspbian Wheezy August 16. We have made a few key changes to make it more hardware-hacker friendly!<p>Version 0.2 updates (new!) • Truncated image - only 2.6G now to fit on any 4G card • raspi-config notice retained on boot • Removed persistant wlan0 entry • Password-change reminder on login • Added RTC and lm-sensors kernel module • Included kernel modules for: DS1307, AD626 I2C digipots, HMC6352, BMP085, ADS1015 • New! Adafruit's PWM/Servo kernel module for easy PWM/Servo control on GPIO#18<p>Version 0.1 updates (still included) • Updated to Hexxeh firmware • I2C and hardware SPI support • I2C/SPI modules initialized on boot • sshd on boot • ssh keygen on first boot • runs avahi daemon (Bonjour client) and is called raspberrypi.local • Realtek RTL8188CUS wifi support • One wire support on GPIO #4 when loaded
