Premier Farnell and RS Components have started shipping to customers. Congratulations to those at the front of the queue!.
 +
Work is ongoing to clear the backlog of orders, with both distributors now manufacturing them in serial production. Farnell/Element14 have stated that all people worldwide who ordered their Raspberry Pi through them on or before April 18th should receive theirs by the end of June.
 +
Update: In the US, on 2012 July 24, Newark/Element 14 is quoting five weeks and Allied is still quoting 12 weeks. An order placed by Rick Seiden on July 19, 2012 at Newark/Element 14 shipped July 31, 2012, indicating a less than five week wait time.

The [http://www.hycshop.com/raspberry-pi-c-2_17/ Raspberry Pi] (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost ($20-$35) credit-card sized Linux computer which was conceived with the primary goal of teaching computer programming to children. It was developed by the [http://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi Foundation], which is a UK registered charity (Registration Number [http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithoutPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1129409&SubsidiaryNumber=0 1129409]). The foundation exists to promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing. The device is expected to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world ([[RPi_Philosophy|Read more]]).
  
We expect this computer to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world.

Raspberry Pi is manufactured and sold in partnership with the worldwide industrial distributors [http://www.farnell.com/ Premier Farnell/Element 14] and [http://rswww.com/ RS Components], and the Chinese distributor [http://www.egoman.com.cn/ Egoman Technology Corp]<ref>http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/3195</ref>.
  
 +
* You can get the latest news from the [http://www.raspberrypi.org Foundation Home Page], the [http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=Raspberry_Pi Twitter Feed] or in the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums forums].
 +
* For Raspberry Pi frequently asked questions see the [[RPi FAQ|FAQ section]] or the [http://www.raspberrypi.org/?page_id=8 Raspberry Pi Foundation's FAQ] page.
 +
* Both manufacturing partners provide community areas for more technically focused discussions, articles, FAQs and related information:

:* Premier Farnell: [http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?view=discussions Element 14 Raspberry Pi Group]
 +
:* RS-Components: [http://www.designspark.com/theme/raspberrypi DesignSpark - Raspberry Pi]
 +
* Products are RoHS, CE, FCC, CTick, CSA and WEEE compliant<ref>http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44828/l/raspberry-pi-safety-data-sheet</ref>.  In common with all Electronic and Electrical products the Raspberry Pi should not be disposed of in household waste.  Please contact the distributor from whom you purchased your Raspberry Pi device for details regarding WEEE in your country.
 +
* Price: 20USD Model A+, 35USD for Model B+, excluding taxes, postage and packaging. For information about availability and shipping see the [[RPi Buying Guide | Buying Guide]].
  
* Products are RoHS and CE compliant.  Please contact Raspberry Pi for details regarding WEEE in your country.
 
* For Raspberry Pi frequently asked questions see [http://www.raspberrypi.org/?page_id=8 FAQ].
 
* The expected price is 25$ for model A, and 35$ for model B.
 
* Estimated availability (as of 31st December 2011) is end January 2012 for the first batch of 10 000.  On 31st December 2011 at 22:00, the Foundation auctioned the first two of ten beta boards on a seven-day auction.  The following eight were auctioned on the following days. Initially, there will be shipping from the UK and possibly the US, but will probably expand with local distributors by the second quarter of 2012.

About

The Raspberry Pi production board (model B Rev 2.0)
3D CAD Model of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (Download)

The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost ($20-$35) credit-card sized Linux computer which was conceived with the primary goal of teaching computer programming to children. It was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1129409). The foundation exists to promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing. The device is expected to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world (Read more).

Raspberry Pi is manufactured and sold in partnership with the worldwide industrial distributors Premier Farnell/Element 14 and RS Components, and the Chinese distributor Egoman Technology Corp[1].

  • Products are RoHS, CE, FCC, CTick, CSA and WEEE compliant[2]. In common with all Electronic and Electrical products the Raspberry Pi should not be disposed of in household waste. Please contact the distributor from whom you purchased your Raspberry Pi device for details regarding WEEE in your country.
  • Price: 20USD Model A+, 35USD for Model B+, excluding taxes, postage and packaging. For information about availability and shipping see the Buying Guide.


History

If you are interested in why the Raspberry Pi was created, and why it is what it is, check the General History page, which highlights relevant events in its history. It is not intended to be a detailed history, so it can be read quickly. You could also check the design changes page for how the Raspberry Pi has evolved, and the manufacturing differences page that may help if you are having problems with your board.

Getting Started

Buying Guide


Where can I get one and for how much?

  • Base price is $20 for the model A+ and $35 for the Raspberry Pi 2. This price excludes local taxes and shipping.
  • You can find out which peripherals and such are tested to work with the Pi in the Verified Peripherals section

Basic Setup


First little Raspberry Pi Steps...

  • Ensure you have all the equipment you need to go with your Raspberry Pi.
  • Become familiar with the board layout and connect it ready for power up.
  • If you have not been provided with a pre-setup SD card you will need to prepare one with your chosen Operating System distribution
  • If you are not using a HDMI monitor you may need to set up the correct video mode by editing the RPiconfig text file on the SD-card.
  • Note: On the Debian OS after you log in you need to type startx at the prompt to get a graphic desktop.
  • Particularly after first boot its important to do a clean shutdown with the command sudo halt

Beginners Guide


You've just got your new Raspberry Pi device - what now?

  • Read a small book for the Raspberry Pi Beginner [1]
  • Take a look through the Community section, which contains a range of beginner and advanced tutorials and guides, as well as groups to help you find like-minded developers.
