![]() Your Raspberry Pi will have the following ports: This latest Raspbian update follows last week’s release of the Raspberry Pi 3 A+ board, a $25 successor to the Pi 1 A+, which is basically a stripped-back version of the $35 Raspberry Pi 3 B+.The Raspberry Pi has a number of ports which you will use to control the Raspberry Pi, and it can use to control other devices. Existing Raspbian users updating in this manner will need to install VLC separately, by typing the commands sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get install vlc. The full build, called ‘Raspbian Stretch with desktop and recommended software’, is 1.8GB and bundles additional software including: LibreOffice, Scratch, SonicPi, Thonny, and Mathematica.Įxisting Raspbian users can also update to the latest version of the OS by running the commands sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in the Linux terminal.

SEE: Hardware spotlight: The Raspberry Pi (Tech Pro Research)įrom this point onwards, VLC will be bundled with the OS and offer hardware-accelerated playback of H.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1 encoded video on the Pi. “After a lot of work (by people far cleverer than me), we are now able to announce that Raspbian includes a fully hardware-accelerated version of VLC.” “Windows has Windows Media Player MacOS has QuickTime Player and iTunes but we’ve had a big hole where something similar ought to be for Raspbian,” said Simon Long, senior principal software engineer at Raspberry Pi Trading. The move is significant for Raspbian, giving the OS a graphical media player for the first time, in addition to the existing command-line OMXPlayer.
