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 ????
