Raspberry Pi
(a microcomputer designed for learning computer programming education)
The Raspberry Pi (Chinese name "树莓派", abbreviated as RPi, (or RasPi / RPI) is a microcomputer the size of a credit card, designed for learning computer programming education. It is a miniature computer the size of a credit card, and its system is based on Linux. With the release of Windows 10 IoT, we will also have access to a Raspberry Pi running Windows.?
Since its introduction, the Raspberry Pi has been sought after by many computer enthusiasts and creators, and was once hard to find. The Raspberry Pi is a small, but powerful device with video, audio, and other features that can be used in a variety of ways.
The Raspberry Pi was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a registered charitable organization in the U.K., with Eben-Upton spearheading the project, and in March 2012, Eben Epton of the University of Cambridge, U.K., officially launched the world's smallest desktop PC, also known as a card reader. In March 2012, Eben Epton of the University of Cambridge officially launched the world's smallest desktop computer, also known as a card computer, which is the size of a credit card but has all the basic functions of a computer: the Raspberry Pi computer board, which translates to "Raspberry Pi" in Chinese. The foundation's mission is to enhance education in computer science and related disciplines in schools and to make computers fun. The foundation expects that more and more applications for this computer will be developed and utilized in both developing and developed countries. Early concepts of the Raspberry Pi in 2006 were based on Atmel's ATmega644 microcontroller, and the first 10,000 "units" of the Raspberry Pi were marketed as "boards" made by manufacturers in Taiwan and mainland China.
It is an ARM-based micro-computer motherboard, SD/MicroSD card as memory hard disk, card motherboard around 1/2/4 USB ports and a 10/100 Ethernet interface (A-type does not have a network port), can be connected to the keyboard, mouse and network cable, and at the same time has a video analog signal TV output interface and HDMI high-definition video output interface, the above components All of the above components are integrated into a motherboard only slightly larger than a credit card, with all the basic functions of a PC just connect the TV and keyboard, you can perform many functions such as spreadsheets, word processing, play games, play HD video and so on. The Raspberry Pi B model is available only as a PC board, with no memory, power supply, keyboard, case or connecting cables.
Microcomputers
The Raspberry Pi is manufactured through three companies with manufacturing licenses, Element 14/Premier Farnell, RS Components, and Egoman, all of which sell the Raspberry Pi online. Now you can buy the Raspberry Pi you want from domestic websites such as Jingdong and Taobao.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation offers ARM-based distributions of Debian and Arch Linux for public download. There are also plans to provide support for Python as the primary programming language, as well as support for Java, BBC BASIC (via RISC OS images or Linux "Brandy Basic" clones), C, and Perl.

What can I do with a Raspberry Pi?
Like any other desktop or laptop computer running Linux, there's a lot you can do with the Raspberry Pi. Of course, it's also a little different. Normal computer motherboards rely on a hard drive to store data, but the Raspberry Pi uses an SD card as its "hard drive," and you can also attach a USB hard drive. With the Raspberry Pi, you can edit Office documents, browse the web, and play games - even games that require powerful graphics gas pedals, like Quake.
The low price of the Raspberry Pi means that it's even more versatile, and it's a great choice for a multimedia center of excellence. With the Raspberry Pi, you can play video and even power it through the USB port on your TV. (Reprinted from Baidu)
