#9759 — Raspberry Pi 1 to 2

I'm currently using raspberry Pi as my home media centre running OSMC. And 
I'm going to upgrade to Pi2, but I wonder if it's possible just insert the 
current SD card in Pi 1 to the new Pi2?

Thanks in advance.

A bootable Linux HDD will often boot successfully in another PC (at least 
that worked back before the arrival of UEFI BIOSes - haven't tried it 
since), so suck it and see. It will either boot or not and is unlikely to 
damage the SD card either way. 

If it fails, after setting up and booting off fresh SD card, you should 
be able to mount your old one in a USB card reader and copy /home onto 
your new card.

If you've been careful and put any new programs and associated data into 
/usr/local/, you can get all that stuff across too by copying /usr/local 
to the new disk because /usr/local/* is normally an empty directory tree 
on a freshly installed Linux.

I think the Pi2 takes a smaller card. If your existing card is a 
microSD in an adapter, it should transfer. If not, you'll need to make 
a new card.

I don't think so. Although Raspbian detects which processor is being 
used and loads the appropriate kernel, OSMC seems to require two 
separate images, one for a model B+ and another for Pi 2.

Yes...

Providing the card physically fits - ie. it's a micro SD in a full size
SD carrier AND it has been updated to a relatively recent version of
Raspbian (if that's what's underneath OSMC) It needs the update to fix
a few things that are now controlled via the GPIO in the Pi 2 that weren't
on the Pi 1.

On the Raspian if you put a cloned card that has been used in another
Pi, (or original) into different PI, it most likely will not recognise
your network interface, The MAC address of the PI is fixed in the OS
when booted originally.

To correct this, just delete
         /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

 and reboot


It will then pickup the new MAC address and your netowrk should be
seen.

Cobblers, I regularly move SD cards amongst my Pis; no problem wit
networking whether DHCP or static. Furthermore, that file doesn't exist;
at least on recent Raspbian.

Please check your facts before posting.

It takes very little extra effort to write something like "Actually
that's no longer the case" rather than "Cobblers".
Please check your attitude before posting.

I posted about this issue when I descovered it in April.
Since then I always delete the above file if present, and also
/lib/udev/write_net_rules

It worked for me using XBMC.
I did simply clone the Pi1 SD card onto a Pi2 MicroSD card.
However, I had to buy a new MPEG2 license.

YMMV

The OP is running OSMC. The current OSMC installer asks you to choose 
between Pi 1 and Pi 2 images. It's one of the reasons I've home-brewed a 
Raspbian installation with Kodi and Tvheadend which IS portable between 
the two.

With Kodi I used a NOOBs image to install a Pi1 and Pi2 image plus a 
512MB shared partition, and then linked the user directories to a common 
location on the shared partition. That way the same configuration is 
used and updated whichever is running, and it hasn't gone horribly wrong 
yet. I'm sure you could do the same on with OSMC.
