    The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed in the UK to promote teaching computer science in schools. It uses a Broadcom system on a chip and stores programs on a MicroSD card. Over 11 million units have been sold since 2012 for prices between $5-35. The Raspberry Pi Foundation provides several Linux distributions and supports programming languages like Python and Scratch.

    Introduction to Raspberry Pi

     Raspberry is a reference to a fruit naming tradition in the old days of


    microcomputers. A lot of computer companies were named after fruit.
    There's Tangerine Computer Systems, Apricot Computers, and the old
    British company Acorn, which is a family of fruit.
     And of course there's also: BlackBerry, Cherry Corporation (now known as
    ZF Electronics), Papaya Studio, etc.
     "Pi is because originally we were going to produce a computer that could
    only really run Python. So the Pi in there is for Python. Pi=PYTHON
    INTERPRETER
     The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed in
    the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote the
    teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries.
     The original model became far more popular than anticipated, selling outside
    of its target market for uses such as robotics.
     Peripherals (including keyboards, mice and cases) are not included with the
    Raspberry Pi. According to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, over 5 million
    Raspberry Pi have been sold before February 2015, making it the best-
    selling British computer.
     By November 2016 they had sold 11 million units.
     Several generations of Raspberry Pis have been released.
     The first generation (Raspberry Pi 1 Model B) was released in February
    2012.
     It was followed by a simpler and inexpensive model Model A.
     In 2014, the foundation released a board with an improved design
    in Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+.
     These boards are approximately credit-card sized and represent the
    standard mainline form-factor.
     Improved A+ and B+ models were released a year later. A "compute
    module" was released in April 2014 for embedded applications, and
    a Raspberry Pi Zero with smaller size and reduced input/output (I/O)
    and general-purpose input/output (GPIO) capabilities was released in
    November 2015 for US$5.
     The Raspberry Pi 2 which added more RAM was released in February
    2015.
     Raspberry Pi 3 Model B released in February 2016, is bundled with on-
    board WiFi, Bluetooth and USB boot capabilities.
     As of January 2017, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is the newest mainline
    Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi boards are priced between US$5–35.
     As of 28 February 2017, the Raspberry Pi Zero W was launched, which is
    identical to the Raspberry Pi Zero, but has the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
    functionality of the Raspberry Pi 3 for US$10.
     All models feature a Broadcom system on a chip (SoC), which includes
    an ARM compatible central processing unit (CPU) and an on-chip graphics
    processing unit (GPU, a VideoCore IV).
     CPU speed ranges from 700 MHz to 1.2 GHz for the Pi 3 and on board
    memory range from 256 MB to 1 GB RAM.
     Secure Digital (SD) cards are used to store the operating system and
    program memory in MicroSDHC sizes.
     Most boards have between one and four USB slots, and composite
    video output, and a 3.5 mm phono jack for audio.
     The Foundation provides Raspbian, a Debian-based Linux distribution for
    download, as well as third party Ubuntu, Windows 10 IOT Core, RISC OS,
    and specialized media center distributions.
     It promotes Python and Scratch as the main programming language, with
    support for many other languages.
     The Raspberry Pi may be operated with any generic USB computer
    keyboard and mouse.
     Other peripherals can be attached through the various pins and connectors on
    the surface of the Raspberry Pi.
