Student Name: Satyam Raj UID: 22bec10027
Branch: Electronic & Communication Section/Group: 22bec-1A
Semester: 6th Date of Performance:07/01/2025
Subject Name:Raspberry Pi and its interfacing Subject Code:22ECH-321

1. Aim: To familiarize with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model and perform necessary


software installations

2. Apparatus: Raspberri Pi 4B model (with micro sd card slot), Micro SD


card 32Gb, HDMI cable and compatible monitor/ pc, USB Keyboard and
mouse, Power Supply (5V, 3A)

3. Theory:
Raspberry Pi 4B - The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is a compact, low-cost,
single-board computer designed for educational purposes, prototyping, and
hobbyist projects. It features a quad-core processor, multiple RAM options,
USB and HDMI ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPIO pins, enabling it to
perform tasks ranging from basic computing to IoT, robotics, and multimedia
applications.
Class 10 microSD card -A Class 10 microSD card is a microSD memory card
that guarantees a minimum sequential write speed of 10 MB/s. This speed
class is ideal for applications requiring fast and reliable data transfer, such as
recording Full HD videos, capturing high-resolution photos, and use in
devices like smartphones, tablets, drones, and Raspberry Pi boards.
