Despre ce este vorba?
Conform Wikipedia Raspberry Pi este un SBC (Single-Board Computer) de dimensiunile unui card de credit, produs in UK de catre Raspberry Pi Foundation cu scopul de a promova invatarea notiunilor de baza din domeniul informaticii (electronicii embedded) in scoli.
In 2006, conceptele incipiente ale Raspberry Pi erau bazate pe un microcontroler Atmel ATmega644.
Reprezentantul fundatiei Raspberry Pi, Eben Upton, a strans un grup de profesori, academicieni si pasionati de computere cu scopul de a concepe un computer pentru a inspira copiii.
Computerul a fost inspirat de BBC Micro lansat de Acorn in 1981. Primul prototip de computer bazat pe un procesor ARM a fost ambalat intr-o carcasa de dimensiunea unui stick USB de memorie. Avea la un capat un port USB si la capatul celalalt un port HDMI.
