Boards

Raspberry Pi Boards  - Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized single computer board.it can play high definition video, along with performing the functions like spreadsheets, word-processing, games. It was developed by the Raspberry Pi foundation from the UK. The raspberry pi is ready for public consumption since 2012 with the idea of producing a cheap educational microcomputer for students and children. 

Learning, innovation, and experimentation are the major agenda for which raspberry pi is created. used in solar street lights, many raspberry boards are also used to built raspberry pi projects, and, mobile phones.  The start of the 21st century saw a huge growth in mobile computing technologies, a large segment of this being driven by the mobile phone industry.  98 percent of mobile phones were using ARM technology. 

The system comes into two different models that are model A and model B. The main differences between these two are the USB ports. The model A board does not include an Ethernet port and will consume less power. The model B includes an Ethernet port and manufactured in China.  With a set of open source technologies, the raspberry pi comes which are communication, multimedia of web technologies, and interaction with a microcontroller ability. It is the portability of a mobile device.

Raspberry Pi Specifications

Memory: In older version model A and 512 Mb on the newer version model B, the raspberry pi comes equipped with 256 Mb of SDRAM. As compared to other PCs, it is a small size PC. The normal PC's RAM memory is available in gigabytes but in this type of application, the RAM memory is more than 256 Mb or 512 Mb.

CPU:  In raspberry pi, the CPU is the main component. Via mathematical and logical operations, It carries out the instructions of a compute. Using the ARM11 series processor, the raspberry pi is a good company.

Ethernet Port: The raspberry pi Ethernet port is the main gateway for communicating with other devices. You will able to use the raspberry pi   Ethernet port to plug your home router to access the internet.

GPIO Pins: On the raspberry pi, the common-purpose input and output pins are used to connect with the other electronic boards.  Based on programmed raspberry pi, the GPIO pins can accept input and output commands.

GPU:  In raspberry pi, the graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized chip. It is intended to raise the speed of manipulation of image calculations. With a Broadcom video-core IV and it is supported for OpenGL,  raspberry pi are equipped.

XBee Socket: The raspberry pi proves two XBee sockets for wireless communication purposes.

Power Source Connector: Located on side of the shield, the power source selector is a small switch that can be used to enable an external power source.

UART: The UART is a serial input and output port. This can be used to transfer serial data such as text and it is useful for transforming the debugging code.
