3. Introduction to Raspberry Pi
• A credit card sized PC
• Plugs into a TV or monitor
• Cheap (ish) ~£25 each
• Over 1 million units
shipped
• Uses Broadcom BCM2835
• Designed for education!
9. A/V (Audio/ViDeo)
RCA Video
(works with
most older
TVs)
HDMI Audio & Video
(works with modern TVs and DVI monitors)
3.5mm Audio
Standard
headphone
socket
19. Teaching programming concepts
Teaching hardware interfacing
Raspberry Pi being very cost effective can be deployed in
large numbers in underdeveloped and developing countries
like Africa, India, China, Brazil etc. to schools and colleges
and to everyone who is interested in computers and
electronics
20. It can be used as a media center at home. Any television can be
converted to a smart TV with internet capabilities with the Pi.
21. The Raspberry Pi is perfect for adaptive technology: it is able
to display images or play videos at 1080p high definition
resolution
The product is energy efficient and provides a greener ethical
alternative to small businesses
This small credit card sized product makes it easy to recycle
and does not release as much carbon dioxide emissions into
the environment
22. You are not required to purchase any special licenses from
the Raspberry Pi Foundation to use their product
A credit card sized PC
Cheap (ish) ~£25 each
23. It does not replace your computer
the Ethernet is only a 10/100 and the processor is not
as fast
unable to do any complex multitasking
Not compatible with other operating systems such as
Windows
This product will not be useful for bigger businesses that
already have big servers
24. The future scope is powering the Raspberry Pi using a battery.
For now, the Raspberry Pi needs to be connected to the
power supply via the USB power port
It is a great solution against the large desktop computers,
Raspberry pi perform all tasks that a desktop system runs.
With the low price and small size it is easy for the buyers to
cache.
25. Raspberry Pi is an innovative product.The sheer number of users and fan base
support the fact that the device can see a great future ahead.The device can
surely help anyone who really wants to lean electronics and computers.
Increasing the processing power can surely help the product in the future.Also
supplying a case and a proper instruction manual will improve the product.Also
currently Windows operating systems are not compatible because of the ARM
processor. If the processor is improved or any workaround is found to run
Windows directly on the Raspberry Pi, then it can be a great step for the Pi.
Finally it can be said that Raspberry Pi can be effectively used if its processing
power is kept in mind. It can work as a personal computer but cannot replace it.
