introduction
• Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer.
• It can be plugged into your TV and a Keyboard.
• Can be used for many of the things as that an average desktop does.
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 Broad comm
WHAT IS A RASPBERRY PI ??
The Raspberry Pi is a fully featured micro-computer squashed onto a circuit board measuring approximately 9cm x 5.5cm.
Why raspberry pi ??Very Low Cost ($25 – Rs 1550/- for Model A & $35 – Rs 2200/- for Model
B/B+).
Great tool for Learning Programming, Computers & Concepts of Embedded Linux, etc.
Support for all Age Groups (School Children, College Undergraduates, Professional Developers, Programmers).
Supports & runs Free and Open Source Linux OS .
Consumes less than 5W of Power.
Supports Full HD Video Output (1080p), Multiple USB Ports , etc
Fun to learn & explore. You are limited by your imagination.
features
• Ultra low-cost (Model A $25, Model B $35)
• Ultra low-power ~1W
• Credit-card sized,fan less, instant start-up
• Complete easy-to-program compute

Operating system
Linux on a bootable SD card
Fedora Raspbian Debian ArchLinux ARM
Preparing a sd cardFormat a SD card that is 4GB .
Download and extract the files from the NOOBS zip file.
Copy the extracted files onto the SD card that you just formatted so that this file is at the root directory of the SD card.
When this process has finished, safely remove the SD card and insert it into your Raspberry Pi and Power it up.
Raspberry Pi will boot, and a window will appear with a list of different operating systems that you can install. We recommend that you use Raspbian – tick the box next to Raspbian and click on Install.
Wait for it to finish. (15 – 20 mins)
programming By default, supporting Python as the
educational language.
Any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be used with the Raspberry Pi.

advantages
Small,Inexpensive Less power consumption As SD card is used here ,easily
portable Able to display images or play
videos at 1080p high definition solution
Python is the programming language required which is easy.
disadvantages
Does not have hard disk,so no permanent storage of files
RAM is not removable or swappable
Not compatible with other operating systems like windows
Complexity in multi-tasking Not suitable for big business
companies that have big servers.
Future Developments
Tablet version Interesting low-cost screen
technologies emerging Brambles! (Networks of
Raspberries)
conclusion
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
any queries ????
