The Raspberry Pi pc of the same name by British non-profit organisation from the end of January in limited supply. The price is $ 25. In september, the production would be high enough for schools to be able to deliver.
Originally went to the developers, including Frontier Developments founder David Braben, of a release in november, but this has now been moved to the end of January. According to EETimes has a Raspberry Pi have enough parts to make 10,000 Raspberry Pi pcs to put together and the plan is to each month a new batch to be produced.
The assembled pcb, the user must own a box around it to build, the size of a credit card will be in two variants. The cheapest variant costs $ 25 and features a Broadcom BCM2835 chip, based on an ARM11 core, which at a clock speed of 700MHz runs and 128MB of memory. Further, the circuit board includes a lan controller, and a csi-connector for connection of a camera module.
The small motherboard also has connections for rca-video, two times usb, hdmi, audio jack, a dsi connector, and headers for gpio module. Also, there may be a sd card to be inserted and the board powered by a micro-usb connector. The more expensive variant costs $ 35 and has an extra 128MB of memory and an ethernet connection. The Raspberry Pi pc runs on a Linux variant and can 1080p video hardware acceleration.
The Raspberry Pi pc is like the BBC computer in the eighties, intended as an educational computer for young people under more interest for programming. The initiative is a response to the decline of registrations for technical training.
