2. What is Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-
sized single-board computer that
plugs into your TV and a keyboard,
which can be used for many of the
things that our average desktop does
– spreadsheets, word processing,
games and it also plays high-
definition video.

4. Introduction
• The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board
computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi
Foundation.
• The Raspberry Pi charitable foundation wants to see the
device being used by youngsters all over the world to learn
programming and electronics.
• The Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a
chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700
MHz processor.
• It does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, but
uses an SD card for booting and long-term storage.

5. Introduction
• The Raspberry Pi is manufactured through licensed
manufacturing deals with Element 14/Premier Farnell and RS
Components. Both of these companies sell the Raspberry Pi
online.
• The Foundation's goal is to offer two versions, priced at US$25
and US$35.
• The Raspberry Pi is a computer, very like the computers with
which you’re already familiar. It uses a different kind of
processor, so you can’t install Microsoft Windows on it.
• Instead we can install several versions of the Linux operating
system that look and feel very much like Windows. If you want
to, you can use the Raspberry Pi to surf the internet, send an
email or write a letter using a word processor.

7. History
• Early concepts of the Raspberry Pi were based on
the Atmel ATmega644 microcontroller.
• In August 2011, fifty Alpha boards were manufactured. These
boards were functionally identical to the planned model B,
but were physically larger to accommodate debug headers.
Demonstrations of the board showed it running
the LXDE desktop on Debian, Quake 3 at 1080p, and Full
HD MPEG-4 video over HDMI.

8. History
• The actual sales of the much anticipated device started on
29th February 2012. The RPi’s licensed sellers website crashed
during this time as a result of over 2 million pre-orders from
various parts of the world.
• As of October 2012 it was reported 30,000 units being
produced per month.
• This was a overwhelming number due to a huge demand from
developing countries where the cost factor plays a major role
in deciding the education system of the society.

9. Hardware
• The Model B is in mass production, with plans to release the
Model A in early 2013. Model A has one USB port and
no Ethernet controller, and will cost less than the Model B
with two USB ports and a 10/100 Ethernet controller.
• Though the Model A doesn't have an 8P8C (RJ45) Ethernet
port, it can connect to a network by using a user-supplied USB
Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter.
• The Raspberry Pi does not come with a real-time clock, so an
OS must use a network time server, or ask the user for time
information at boot time to get access to time and date
for file time and date stamping.

11. Hardware
• The device supports H.264 video encoding, MPEG-2 and
Microsoft’s VC-1.
• The default ARM 700 MHz processor frequency can be over
clocked to 1 GHz using the turbo mode.
• The video core IV GPU has 512 MB of RAM.

12. Software
• The Raspberry Pi uses Linux kernel-based operating
systems. Raspbian, a Debian-based free operating system
optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware, and it comes
preloaded in the SD card provided.
• The GPU hardware is accessed via a firmware image which is
loaded into the GPU at boot time from the SD-card.
• Application software use calls to closed source run-time
libraries which in turn calls an open source driver inside the
Linux kernel. The API of the kernel driver is specific for these
closed libraries.
12

13. • Video applications
use OpenMAX, 3D
applications use OpenGL.
• ES and 2D
applications use OpenVG whic
h both in turn use EGL.
OpenMAX and EGL use the
open source kernel driver in
turn.
• The firmware image is known
as the binary blob, while the
associated Linux drivers
are closed source.

14. Software
• On 8 March 2012 The Raspberry Pi Foundation released
Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix, at the time its recommended
Linux distribution, which was developed at Seneca College in
Canada. The Foundation intends to create an App
Store website for people to exchange programs.
• Slackware ARM (formally ARMedslack) version 13.37 and later
runs on the Raspberry Pi without modification. The 128–496
MB of available memory on the Raspberry Pi is twice the
minimum requirement of 64 MB needed to run Slackware
Linux on an ARM or i386 system.
• In addition, work is being done on system-specific light Linux
distributions such as IPFire, OpenELEC, Raspbmc and
the XBMC open source digital media center.

15. Setting up Raspberry Pi
• The board needs to be connected to a power equipment
which is a mini USB connector and draws current of 700 mA at
5 volts.
• The SD card which comes bundled with the Raspbian OS,
which is a linux based OS must be inserted into the SD Card
slot.
• For display, RPi provides two solutions. The first one is to
connect the new LCD TVs which supports HDMI. The other
one being connecting the RCA cables which is suited for older
TVs, that support NTSC and PAL viewing.
• Audio port of 3.5mm must be connected to any amplified
speaker set.
15

16. Setting up Raspberry Pi
• The Ethernet port must be connected to a modem to support
internet connectivity, the device also takes the network time
due to non presence of an internal clock.
• There are two USB ports in model B and they can be easily
utilized for connecting USB mouse and a USB keyboard.

17. Additional Peripherals Required
• Internet Connectivity, may be done with an Ethernet/LAN
cable (standard RJ45 connector) or a USB Wi-Fi adaptor.
• USB-Hub - In order to connect additional devices to the RPi,
we may want to obtain a USB Hub, which will allow multiple
devices to be used. It is nearly a requirement that
a powered hub is used - this will provide any additional power
to the devices without affecting the RPi itself.
• Heat sink: Not a vital accessory for RPi, but will help to reduce
the CPU's temperature whilst under load.
• Real Time Clock - In order to achieve the price point of the
Raspberry Pi several non-essential items usually found on a
computer are omitted. Real Time Clock module is not included
with the Raspberry Pi. To keep time, the Raspberry Pi updates
the date and time automatically over the internet via Ethernet
17
or Wi-Fi.

18. Programming
• By default, Raspberry Pi supports UNIX shell scripting, Python
or any other language that will compile with ARMv6 can be
used with it.
• Programming software such as SCRATCH game maker comes
bundled with the Pi.
• Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to
create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music,
and art - and share your creations on the web.
• As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn
important mathematical and computational ideas, while also
learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work
collaboratively.

21. Applications
• Since RPi’s inception, people around the world have been
toying around with it to develop various applications.
• Apple's Siri technology is designed for people to give orders to
their phones. But it can also control additional devices
with Siri Proxy, a proxy server that connects to the Siri service.
• Siri proxy server can be used to open and close garage door,
thanks to a Raspberry Pi hooked up to an automatic garage
door system. Siri Proxy running on the Raspberry Pi, along
with WiringPi to access the Pi's GPIO pins and turn a relay
on/off.
• We program the Raspberry Pi in such a way that it responds to
the commands sent by the Siri proxy server.

23. Applications
• The Raspberry Pi laptop is another good example of
constructing a fully functional laptop all under `4500 made by
a developer named Drew Fustini.
• The HDMI port of the RPi is connected to a Motorola Atrix
Dock, which is a detachable display panel with keyboard
available on e-bay for under $60.
• The Pi rests outside the laptop, so it's not fully self-contained,
but is rather portable.

25. Applications
• Setting up a XBMC media center on Raspberry Pi
• It is a free open source media player. It allows users to play
and view most videos, music, such as podcasts from the
internet, and all common digital media files from local and
network storage media.
• After setting up the XBMC on RPi, we can very easily play
videos of 720p without any lag from any USB device, from a
network folder, or rather from YouTube.
• After we hook the HDMI cable onto a TV, and then boot up
the device, it automatically loads the XBMC

27. Tweaking Settings for Optimal
Feedback
• Resolution, found under Settings > System > Video Output.
For watching 720p videos, we should change this to 720p.
• Over scan, found under Settings > System > Video Output >
Video Calibration. If the XBMC interface stretches beyond the
edges of our TV screen, this option will calibrate the video.
• System Performance Profile, under Programs > Raspbmc
Settings > System Configuration. This is required if we want to
over clock the device for a faster performance.

28. Conclusion
It was created with the intention of providing children with a
highly affordable, accessible and programmable computer
that they can buy, learn to program on, adapt and even break,
without feeling restricted by price or fear of an angry parent.
By destroying the paradigm of spending hundreds of pounds
on a computer to become a member of the digital age, they
hope to install creativity, enthusiasm and experience into a
new generation of talented programmers
Developing countries are interested in the Raspberry Pi as
productivity devices in areas that simply can’t afford the
power and hardware needed to run a traditional desktop PC;
hospitals and museums are trying to find out about the
Raspberry Pi to drive display devices.
