computer.
• It can be plugged into your TV and a Keyboard,
and can be used for many of the things that
your average desktop does – spreadsheets,
word processing, games and it also play HD
videos.

maintain computer for schools
• Fun computer for children to experiment with
at home(Programming, robotics etc)
Programming Languages
• The Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends Python
• Any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be
used
• Installed by default on the Raspberry Pi:
– C
– C++
– Java
– Scratch
– Ruby
Technology
• The Rasberry Pi has a Broadcom BCM2835
system on a chip (SoC), which includes an
ARM II 76jZF-S 700 Mhz processor
• Video Core IV GPU
• Originally shipped with 256MB of Ram
• It does not include a built-in hard disk , but
uses an SD card for booting and long-term
storage

SUPERCOMPUTER
• Can be used For making Super Computer
Clock
PiBot!
DISADVANTAGE
• It does not have a Hard Disk associated with it
for a permanent storage of files, we have to
connect one externally or have to use SD card
for the purpose.
• The RAM is a POP package on Top of the SoC,
so its not removal or swappable.
• There is no Real Time clock associated with
the board. Adding an RTC is expensive. You
can add one using the GPIO pins.
Rasberry Pi 2020
• Exploit process scaling and keep price
constant
• 8 cores, improved GPU, 8GB main memory
• matchbox sized case
• Holographic laser projector, virtual keyboard
• FPGA logic on main SoC, high speed links,…..
• <25$
