Raspberry Pi is manufactured and sold in partnership with the worldwide industrial distributors Premier Farnell/Element 14 and RS Components, and the Chinese distributor Egoman Technology Corp[1].

You may have decided to buy a Raspberry Pi because you think it is great, it helps if you have an idea of what you want to do with it. The Raspberry Pi can be used in the conventional computer configuration, with a keyboard, mouse and display, or in a "headless" configuration where it is available on a network and is controlled from another computer on that network. IMPORTANT For USB devices other than a mouse and a simple wired keyboard (for USB devices drawing more than 100mA) a powered USB hub is strongly recommended. Power Supply Display.

Introduction On the Raspberry Pi, there are several connections which can be used for expansion: The Rpi GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are exposed, that means that expansion boards are able to talk directly to the CPU.

Distributions - operating systems and development environments for the Raspberry Pi. Kernel Compilation - advice on compiling a kernel. Performance - measures of the Raspberry Pi's performance. Programming - programming languages that might be used on the Raspberry Pi. Overview If you just want a working system, all that is required is a correctly formatted SD card. In order to understand the software components in the RPi, you should first understand how it boots up.
The boot order and components are as follows: First stage bootloader - This is used to mount the FAT32 boot partition on the SD card so that the second stage bootloader can be accessed. Prior to 19th October 2012, there was previously also a third stage bootloader (loader.bin) but this is no longer required. [1] Raspbian Linux image (others?) Because of this boot process, use of an SD card to boot the RPi is mandatory. GPU bootloaders Distributions Kernel Compiler. Projects - Rasberry Pi | eLinux.org. Back to the Hub.

Introduction In addition to the familiar USB, Ethernet and HDMI ports, the Raspberry Pi offers the ability to connect directly to a variety of electronic devices.
Digital outputs: turn lights, motors, or other devices on or off Digital inputs: read an on or off state from a button, switch, or other sensor Communication with chips or modules using low-level protocols: SPI, I²C, or serial UART Connections are made using GPIO ("General Purpose Input/Output") pins. Note that no analogue input or output is available. Links Useful P2 pins:
