RPi Easy SD Card Setup - eLinux.org

▪ 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
▪ Northgate Ominikey Ultra T (please note requires an aditonal AT to PS2 converter)
▪ 04d9:1400 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. PS/2 keyboard + mouse controller
▪ Working: Ipex RT215KTW PS/2 keyboard
▪ Not working: HP SK-2502 PS/2 keyboard (gets power but does not init - three
LEDs remain permanently lit. Keyboard + Holtek converter work on a Linux PC,
although this keyboard doesn't work with some native PS/2 ports.)
Power adapters
The Raspberry Pi uses a standard Micro USB (type B) power connector, which runs at 5v.
Generally you can use a MicroUSB to USB cable and then either power the Raspberry Pi
directly from your main computers USB ports (if they provide enough power), or by
using a USB to Mains adaptor. A number of mobile phones use MicroUSB power cables,
and these are compatible with the Raspberry Pi in most cases. Below is a list of power
adaptors known to work.
