An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte! Pi Store. Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is a series of credit card-sized single-board computers developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools.[3][4][5] The original Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi 2 are manufactured in several board configurations through licensed manufacturing agreements with Newark element14 (Premier Farnell), RS Components and Egoman.
These companies sell the Raspberry Pi online.[6] Egoman produces a version for distribution solely in China and Taiwan, which can be distinguished from other Pis by their red colouring and lack of FCC/CE marks. The hardware is the same across all manufacturers. In 2014, the Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the Compute Module, which packages a BCM2835 with 512 MB RAM and an eMMC flash chip into a module for use as a part of embedded systems.[10] Hardware[edit] Raspberry Jam at Milton Keynes – National Museum of Computing – Gertboard Demo Rig. Yesterday I went to my first Raspberry Jam – a get-together of Raspberry Pi enthusiasts.
This one was in Milton Keynes at the National Museum of Computing. It happened to be run by Peter Onion, who I already knew from the world of aeromodelling. So it was a no-brainer for me to go to… meet an old friend (he’s not that old)visit a museum of computersget to talk to people about the Raspberry Pi and Gertboard and demonstrate themsee what other people are doing with the Pi (nobody else had a Gertboard – ner ner nee ner ner :p ) It was great.
