Raspberry Pi2 Model B v1.2

IMPORTANT: PLEASE UPDATE TO LATEST VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM

Previous versions of Raspberry Pi 2 Model B use the BCM2836 SoC, which contains a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7

processor. The new release Raspberry Pi 2 Model B v1.2 board uses BCM2837, which contains a quad-core

ARM Cortex-A53 processor. It is necessary to update to the latest (October 2016) version of the device

firmware and Linux kernel to allow the board to boot up properly.
