3. INTRODUCTION
The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized single board
computer developed in the United Kingdom (UK).
It is developed by Raspberry Pi Foundation which is a
registered educational charity that has a goal to
advance the education of adults and children in
computer science & related subject.
Concept Initiated by Eben Upton who works at
Broadcom.
To promote the study of basic computer science in
schools & to develop interest among kids and adults
Has been a revolution in the market with over 3 million
units sold
4. HISTORY
Started the research in 2006
Eben Upton, Pi foundation trustee teamed with
universities,students,programmers & tied up
with industries.
Early concept based on the Atmel ATmega644
microcontroller.
It’s schematics representation & PCB layout are
available for public download.
The first batch of 10,000 boards was
manufactured in Taiwan and China rather than
in the UK.
5. WHY IT IS NEEDED?
Raspberry Pi was originally intended for
underprivileged students as a means to
introduce them to computing in lowest cost
possible.
However Being an Awesome Product that it
is, Its now used across the globe as a mini
computer which can be placed anywhere you
want.
9. COMPONENTS
Micro USB power supply
5v,700mA=3.5W
which is less than a bulb.
Standard Charging port.
5v micro
USB connector
Power supply
10. A/V(AUDIO/VIDEO)
RCA Video
(works with most
older TVs)
3.5mm Audio
Standard
headphone
socket
HDMI Audio & Video
(works with modern TVs and DVI monitors)
11. A/V(AUDIO/VIDEO)
RCA Video
Audio Jack
3.5 mm TRS.
Any headphone or 3.5 mm audio cable
USB mics or USB sounds used for audio
input.
HDMI
14. CSI(Camera Serial Interface)
Designed by MIPI(Mobile Industry
Processor Interface) For interfacing Digital
cameras with mobile Processor
DSI(Display Serial Interface)
To reduce the cost of display controllers in
mobile device.
Defines a serial bus & communication
protocol b/w host(source) & the
device(destination).
15. • JTAG(Joint Test Action Group)
An organization that start back in the mid of
1980’s.
To address test point access issues on PCB with
surface mount devices.
• SoC(System on Chip)
Powered by Broadcom BCM2835 SoC
• ARM1176JFS CPU
• Core frequency set to 700 MHz
• USB 2.0 Host controller.
17. OS & PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Linux on a bootable SD card
By default, supporting Python as the educational
language.
Any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be
used with the Raspberry Pi, though; so you’re not
limited to using Python.
21. ADVANTAGES
It can make your Old TV in to a smart TV. (You can
play Videos, 3D Games, Music, Browse Internet
and much more.
You can connect a Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse
and use it as a normal computer.
Its Graphics Capabilities is better than Apple
Products.
It is useful for small or home based business.
Do not require any special licenses from the
Raspberry Pi Foundation to use their product.
22. DISADVANTAGES
It does not have a Hard Disk associated with it for
permanent storage pi files, we have to connect one
externally or have to use SD card for the purpose.
Not compatible with other OS such as
Windows.
The RAM is a POP package on top of the SoC, so
it’s not removable or swappable.
It will not be useful for bigger businesses that
already have big servers, so that time consuming.
23. CONCLUSION
Raspberry Pi is lowest price than other
Computers.
It primarily uses Linux Kernel based
Operating Systems.
It according to size is smaller than other
computers as we compare.
To promote the study of basic computer science in
schools & to develop interest among kids and
adults.
It also display high quality video (e.g 1080p).
In 2014, the Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the
Computer Module for use as a part of embedded
systems to encourage their use.
