Raspberry Pi
Introduction
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized
computer
It can be plugged into your TV and a
keyboard, and can be used for many of

the things that your average desktop
does - spreadsheets, word-processing,
games and it also plays high-definition
video.
Introduction
measuring
approximately
9cm x 5.5cm
History
The Raspberry Pi is the work of the
Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charitable
organisation.
UK registered charity (No. 1129409), May
2009
It's supported by the University of
Cambridge Computer Laboratory and tech
firm Broadcomm
Motivation
Computer science skills increasingly
important
Decline in CS student numbers
Access to computers
Computers are the tool of the 21st
century
Computer Science is concerned with much
more than simply being able to use a
computer.
Children should understand how they work
and how to program them
What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a fully featured

micro-computer squashed onto a
circuit board measuring
approximately 9cm x 5.5cm.
Features
Ultra low-cost (Model A $25, Model B

$35)
Ultra low-power ~1W

Credit-card sized, fanless, instant
start-up
Complete easy-to-program
computer
Features
Provide a fun environment for
experimenting with programming

and electronics
Inexpensive, simple, open and easy

to maintain computer for schools
Fun computer for children to
experiment with at
home(programming, robotics, etc...)
Technology
The
Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom

BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC),which
includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz
processor
Video Core IV GPU

originally shipped with 256 megabytes
of RAM, later upgraded to 512MB.
It does not include a built-in hard disk ,
but uses an SD card for booting and

long-term storage.
Hardware
10/100 BaseT Ethernet socket

HDMI socket
USB 2.0 socket
RCA video socket
SD card socket
Powered from microUSB socket
3.5mm audio out jack
Header footprint for camera
Operating System
Linux on a bootable SD card
Fedora
Raspbian
Debian
ArchLinux ARM
How to make it
work!
Programming
By default, supporting Python as
the educational language.
Any language which will compile

for ARMv6 can be used with the
Raspberry Pi.
Price
Model A - $ 25
Model B - $ 35
Why so cheap ?
SoC - System on a chip, a
computer on a single low voltage

chip
Linux OS
Applications
Can be used for making super
computers

Both
tech innovations have education

and economy as their central goals.
Aakash could fundamentally change the

way Indian students and most of rural
India connects with the Internet.
The
Raspberry Pi, directed at budding

computer engineers in the U.K., could
alter the way the next generation thinks
about coding and building in the
computer universe.
Both the Aakash and Raspberry Pi run on
ARM-based
processors,
the
British
processor that runs the vast majority of
the worlds mobile phones, smartphones
and tablets.
Raspberry
Pi
Vs
Akash
The first generation Aakash is said to
run an ARM 11-based processor from
Conexant running at 366Mhz.
The Raspberry Pi uses an ARM 11-based
processor from Broadcom running at

700Mhz plus a separate graphics
processing unit.
The
processor in the Raspberry Pi has

about twice the graphics performance of
the iPhone 4S and even bests Nvidias
Tegra 2.
The Raspberry Pi can connect to a

television or a computer monitor via the
commonly used composite RCA and
HDMI video interfaces.
Akash tablet runs on an Android 2.2 OS.

The Raspberry Pi computer will run a
number
of
Linux-based
operating
systems including Red Hats Fedora as
well as Debian, the basis for the popular
Ubuntu distribution, and Arch.
Disadvantages
It does not have a Hard Disk associated
with it for permanent storage pf files,we

have to connect one externally or have
to use SD card for the purpose.
The RAM is a POP package on top of the

SoC, so its not removable or swappable.
There
is no Real time clock associated

with the board.Adding an RTC is
expensive. You can add one yourself
using the GPIO pins.
Future
developments
Tablet version
Interesting low-cost screen
technologies emerging
Brambles! (Networks of
Raspberries)
Raspberry Pi 2020
Exploit process scaling and keep
price constant:
8 cores, improved GPU, 8GB main
memory
WiFi, camera, matchbox sized case
holographic laser projector, virtual
keyboard
FPGA logic on main SoC, high speed
links, .
