Openelec op Raspberry Pi
1. Introduction
The Raspberry Pi is an ARM-based structure. This small and very affordable computer is made in the UK and is primarily intended for educational and hobbyist purposes. It is perfectly possible by its energy-efficient components have this 24/24 run, Here we think of a server or multimedia. The Raspberry pi supports full hd 1080p, Most codecs and has a fairly user-friendly interface.

The ARM architecture is a highly successful processorarcitectuur coined by the British computer manufacturer Acorn Computers Ltd around 1984. The name stands for ARM Acorn RISC Machine, RISC which is an abbreviation of Reduced Instruction Set Computer. The first implementation of the instruction in silicon, the Arm1-prototype, was in 1985 developed and functioned, Acorns to surprise, almost flawlessly. Her ARM processors were originally sold as separate upgrades for Acorns own BBC Micro-computers, but formed in 1987 Based on the new generation of Acorns Archimedes-computers. Since 1991 The ARM instruction set is managed and developed by ARM Holdings. Today, the ARM instruction set by many manufacturers in license taken, after which they will produce the chips in millions (mainly mobile) process equipment. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM-architectuur

1.2 What OS
There currently exist 3 XBMC different operating systems available for the Raspberry Pi, silk; * Openelec * Xbian
* Raspbmc
1.2.1 Openelec
- OpenELEC is a streamlined operating system with the intention to make the user easily. - OpenELEC does not run linux distro under the hood. - OpenELEC is less than eg adjustable. Raspbmc. - Quick and easy installation via windisk32 manager on windows.
1.2.2 Xbian
- Xbian continually looks at new features and then comes very quickly with new updates and features. - Xbian also has an easy installation, This delivered a console install them in the download. - Xbian is based on the top of Rapbian (http://www.raspbian.org/), the main operating system on the Raspberry Pi. -In appearance Xbian and Raspbmc are almost the same. - Xbian is very fast, highly configurable, and quick update available.
1.2.3 Raspbmc
- Under Raspbmc running a linux distro that will make it less likely to start than OpenELEC or Xbian. - The interface also feels slower compared with a lightweight like OpenELEC. -Raspbmc has an advanced MODEs- menu that makes it easy to adjust settings.
2. Requirements for installation on a Windows computer
2.1: hardware
- Raspberry Pi model B (has this 512 mb memory instead 256 mb to the old model)
- Housing for the Raspberry Pi (are many types of available)
- SD card (at least 4GB)
- Micro-USB cable together with a USB charger, Charger smartphone usually meets
- HDMI cable to connect the Raspberry Pi on your screen / PC-sherm
- Network to the Raspberry Pi to close the network
2.2: Windisk32
This program is designed to write images to removable media. 2.3: Image downloaden http://resources.pichimney.com/OpenELEC/official_images/?C=M;O=D
3. Format
The first thing that needs to happen is the SD card format, this can in windows and problems you can always use a gparted-live CD. Gparted-live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
4. installation OpenELEC
Open windisk32 and select the appropriate image and device. 
Once the correct image and device chosen: klik write. The SD card can now be inserted into the raspberry to start up so xbmc. Further information for configuration can be read in the pages of: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?
