Raspberry Pi
The idea behind a tiny and cheap computer for kids came in 2006, when Eben Upton and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory became concerned about the year-on-year decline in the numbers and skills levels of the A Level students applying to read Computer Science in each academic year.
From 2006 to 2008, Eben designed several versions of what has now become the Raspberry Pi. By 2008, processors designed for mobile devices were becoming more affordable, and powerful enough to provide excellent multimedia, a feature that Eden felt would make the board desirable to kids who wouldn’t initially be interested in a purely programming-oriented device.
Presently Pete Lomas is a trustee of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. He designed the final hardware that turned into the Raspberry Pi.
Nowadays the Raspberry Pi is used in a majority of embedded devices from education to entertainment. Many researchers have started working on a Raspberry Pi to provide an efficient and economic computing Device.
About Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a debit-card sized computer. By plugging in your TV and a keyboard, it can work as your normal computer system. It is a small PC, which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing and games. You can watch Youtube video with HD Quality. You can program for your robot capture snapshots of different areas. By attaching an external display board, you can also design display boards for advertisements. Not only embedded devices, but one can also deploy a server with portability and plug-n-play characteristic.
With approximately $25 cost, it is very cheap for students and researchers to work in the field of embedded and open source. There are two models, RPi-A and RPi-B, available in the market. Technical details of both are shown right.
