Title: Pi Day 2018 and a New Rapberry Pi!
Post by Fernando on Mar 16^th, 2018, 10:50pm

3/14/18 (which is also Einstein's Birthday and Steven Hawkins Death Date), the Raspberry Pi Foundation released another Raspberry Pi into the collective. It is not a new Raspberry Pi but an update of the Raspberry Pi 3 (Model B), and is called he Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

Its updates the Raspberry Pi 3 with a faster CPU/GPU (1.4GHz) and faster USB and Ethernet Ports. It also adds PoE (Power over Ethernet) so one can power their Pi over the network by the network.

A 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
Dual-band 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2
Faster Ethernet (Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0)
Power-over-Ethernet support (with separate PoE HAT)
Improved PXE network and USB mass-storage booting
Improved thermal management

Raspbian OS has also been updated, mostly with the Display options of the OS to be faster and cleaner. But this update/upgrade may not be compatible with Older and Single Core CPU Pies like the Pi 0 and Pi Model A+. The Single Core Units use the A6/A7 ARM CPU, while the others (Pi 2, Pi 3 and Pi 3B+) are quad core CPUs and the update is geared to the Quad Core CPUs.

You can use the link to download the OS:

Or if you have the last Raspbian Stretch version, you can use the commands on the telnet console:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
