Introduction to Raspberry Pi

• Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed in


the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in association
with Broadcom. Early on, the Raspberry Pi project leaned towards the
promotion of teaching basic computer science in schools and in
developing countries. Later, the original model became far more
popular than anticipated, selling outside its target market for uses
such as robotics. It is now widely used in many areas, such as for
weather monitoring, because of its low cost, modularity, and open
design.

Raspberry Pi
• The Raspberry Pi is one of the best-selling British computers. As of
December 2019, more than thirty million boards have been sold.
• Several generations of Raspberry Pis have been released. All models
feature a Broadcom system on a chip (SoC) with an integrated ARM-
compatible central processing unit (CPU) and on-chip graphics
processing unit (GPU).
• The first generation (Raspberry Pi Model B) was released in February
2012

Rasberry Pi
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B was released in June 2019 with a 1.5 GHz 64-
bit quad core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, on-board 802.11ac Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 5, full gigabit Ethernet (throughput not limited), two USB
2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and dual-monitor support via a pair of
micro HDMI (HDMI Type D) ports for up to 4K resolution. The Pi 4 is
also powered via a USB-C port, enabling additional power to be
provided to downstream peripherals, when used with an appropriate
PSU. The initial Raspberry Pi 4 board has a design flaw where third-
party e-marked USB cables, such as those used on Apple Mac Books,
incorrectly identify it and refuse to provide power. Dr.H.S.Soch

Rasberry Pi
• The Raspberry Pi hardware has evolved through several versions that
feature variations in the type of the central processing unit, amount
of memory capacity, networking support, and peripheral-device
support.

Rasberry Pi
• Processor speed ranges from 700 MHz to 1.4 GHz for the Pi 3 Model
B+ or 1.5 GHz for the Pi 4; on-board memory ranges from 256 MiB to
1 GiB random-access memory (RAM), with up to 8 GiB available on
the Pi 4. Secure Digital (SD) cards in MicroSDHC form factor (SDHC on
early models) are used to store the operating system and program
memory. The boards have one to five USB ports. For video output,
HDMI and composite video are supported, with a standard 3.5 mm
tip-ring-sleeve jack for audio output.

Rasberry Pi - Processor

• The Raspberry Pi 2B uses a 32-bit 900 MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7


processor.
• The Broadcom BCM2835 SoC used in the first generation Raspberry
Pi[37] includes a 700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S processor, VideoCore IV
graphics processing unit (GPU),[38] and RAM. It has a level 1 (L1)
cache of 16 KiB and a level 2 (L2) cache of 128 KiB. The level 2 cache is
used primarily by the GPU. The SoC is stacked underneath the RAM
chip, so only its edge is visible. The ARM1176JZ(F)-S is the same CPU
used in the original iPhone, although at a higher clock rate, and
mated with a much faster GPU. Dr.H.S.Soch
