The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer that costs $25-$35. It was developed to teach programming skills to students and raise awareness of embedded systems. Using programming languages like Scratch and Python, the Raspberry Pi can be used to create games, develop software, and more. It runs various Linux-based operating systems and has applications in areas like home automation, servers, audio players, and robotics.

2. Knowing your R Pi## It is a credit card sized
computer dev. board and
is hardly 45gms that fits
in a palm of one’s hand
very eaisly
## It is just of 25$ (model
A), 30$ (model B) and
35$ (model B+ & R Pi-2)
## So it’s the most
affordable of its class
## It was basically
developed increase
programming skills of
students & for awareness
of embedded system
## It has the capacity to
play up to HD 1080p
videos
## One can prog. & dev.
his own game using
Know
your RPi

3. ## SCRATCH is the
graphic programming
language (just as
LabVIEW)
## In SCRATCH using
‘drag & drop’ we can
create our own games
(mostly for kids)
## It uses PYTHON as its
system programming
language
## PYTHON is a
computer language
developed by GUIDO
VAN ROSSUM in 1991

4. OPERATING SYSTEMS
• It uses a very vast variety of linux based operating
systems
• DEBIAN - It is the OS developed & updated by
raspberry pi foundation. It’s the official operating
system developed this foundation specifically for
RPi
• ARCH LINUX – It’s the arch-linux built for ARM
processors
• Open ELEC – ‘open embedded linux entertainment
center’ is an OS which runs on popular ‘XMBC-
open source digital media center’
• PINDORA – It’s a FEDORA remix, customised for
ver. of unix like fedora systems

5. • RASPBMC – Its yet another implementation of
‘XMBC open source digital media center’
• MINEPEON – It’s a ‘arch-linux ARM’ based OS.
Bitcoin mining can be doen very securely on this OS.
• KALI LINUX – Is is Debian derived OS specifically
designed for penetration testing & digital forensics
• OPEN Wrt – RPi with this OS is usually used Router
n/w
……..........& RPi has a whole lot of operating
systems built for it.

6. DEVELOPMENT
• Due to low no. of students taking interest in
programming & having poor skill level EBEN
UPTON & his colleagues frustrating problems
• In 2006 EBEN UPTON decided to dev. A very cheap
& easily programmable dev. board which any body
could play/hack with, without fearing expensive
mistakes
• Working on it, EBEN in collaboration with Comp.
Lab. At UNIVERSITY OF CAMBIDGE &
BROADCOM dev. ‘Raspberry Pi’ in 2009, and since
then it has evolved with it’s new and upgraded
models {basically model-A, B, B+ & RPi-2}

8. TECH. CONFIGURATION
• It has BROADCOM BCM2835 system on chip (SOC)
which has ARM11 76JZF-S processor with 700 MHz
frequency…………J- jazelle bytecode
Z- trust zone
F- floating point
S – synthesizable core
It also has BROADCOM video core 4 BCM2763
which is a very flexible 2D DSP architecture capable of
playing very high resolution videos
BROADCOM has monopolistic feature in
developing high feasibility video cores for smart
phones …….etc…..

9. • It uses USB 2.0 in all of its models
• RAM used in model A- 256MB | model B & B+
– 512MB | raspberry pi 2 – 1GB
• Video input or camera connection is doen via CSI
connector
• Video output is via RCA(only model A & B) or
HDMI or lcd support via DSI connector
• ETHERNET support – each Pi ( except model A )
has an on board ethernet port {10/100 Mb/s for model
B/B+}
• Audio Input – a 3.5 mm jack is provided in every
model
• A micro USB port is provided for power source of
5Volts & (1-2) Amps.

10. • The GPIO pins – Its generic on any IC whose
behaviour is controlled by user at runtime. GPIO
pins are most specifically used for connection of
external modules, ex)- Rpi camera module, led panel
module, ARDUINO-UNO module & other dev.
boards can also be integrated using GPIOs
• It’s a set of 26 pins (model A & B) or 40 pins (model
B+ & RPi-2)

11. RPi APPLICATIONS
• My computer
• Home electrical automation
• Creating our own servers
• We can make our own super computer integrating
large no of RPi boards .
• We can make our own Audio Players
• One can make a QUADCOPTER using raspberry pi .

12. • We can make our own DLSR camera using GPIO
integration
• Arcade gaming machine is also a fascinating
application of Rpi
