The Raspberry Pi is in two years time, more than 2.5 million sold, and so the initiators behind the mini-computer let you know. At the same time, writes the organization a competition to the graphics drivers for the sign open source.
Raspberry Pi made his announcement at the celebration of his second birthday. In two years time, the mini-pc so 2.5 million sold, of which 100,000 on the first day. The organization behind the Raspberry Pi sets with the revenue of several open-source projects to have sponsored, such as XBMC. In november, the total sales still at 2 million.
The organization behind the Raspberry Pi has taken the plan to the graphics drivers for the VideoCore IV gpu where the moederbordje makes use of open source. This is possible because the owner Broadcom the source code for the graphics driver for the BCM21553-soc public has made. To developers to encourage the available code to porting it to the BCM2835, where the Raspberry Pi is running on, is a reward of $ 10,000 awarded.
Since its release, the Raspberry Pi several applications received. As a hobbyist, the mini-pc to a system camera. Another modificeerde his microwave with a Raspberry Pi. There is now also competition appeared: as announced Intel and Arduino in October, the Galileo sign on.
