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] Processor[edit] Performance of first generation models[edit] Overclocking[edit] RAM[edit] Networking[edit] Peripherals[edit] Finally an Easy Way to Watch Live TV in XBMC Media Center. Now there is finally an easy way to watch live TV in XBMC media center.
In this start to finish guide, you will learn how to get live TV working on XBMC media center.

Further to my comprehensive Raspberry Pi XBMC guide, this tutorial will show you how to install Raspberry Pi OpenELEC distribution and configure wireless USB WiFi adapter in 3 easy steps.
Many people have been struggling to get a wireless adapter working with their Raspberry Pi. Thanks to OpenELEC Operating System, it is now quite easy to configure WLAN inside XBMC. The installation procedure with Linux is a bit more advanced compared to the Raspbmc installation with Windows, so if you are not familiar with Linux or using a command line to install software, I would suggest trying the Raspbmc first.
There are also instructions available to install OpenELEC with Windows at the Squirrel Hosting Blog. However, you still need to complete the step 3 in this guide to get the wireless connection working. The Only Raspberry Pi XBMC Tutorial You Will Ever Need.
