trying newer methods of teaching basic computer science in developing
countries. In this attempt, they have released their first commercial product in
2012. Later, several generations of Raspberry Pi were released.
• All the Raspberry Pis have a Broadcom system on their chips and includes an ARM
compatible CPU. It has a graphic processing unit and the models have a memory
ranging from 256 MB to 1 GB RAM.
