About

The Rpi beta board (model B)

The Raspberry Pi wiki pages on this site are a community work - the Raspberry Pi Foundation is not responsible for content on these pages. Also, the Raspberry Pi isn't released yet - this page is a work in progress in preparation for the launch.

The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi) is an ultra-low-cost credit-card sized Linux computer for 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. We expect this computer to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world.

  • You can get the latest news from the Foundation Home Page, the Twitter Feed or in the forums.
  • For Raspberry Pi frequently asked questions see FAQ.
  • Products are RoHS and CE compliant. Please contact Raspberry Pi for details regarding WEEE in your country.
  • Expected cost: ~16GBP or 25USD Model A, ~23GBP or 35USD for Model B. For information about availability and shipping see the Buying Guide.

History

  • Russell Davis (aka forum admin ukscone) has a series of blog articles recording his perspective of the Raspberry Pi story in several parts from the beginning.
  • You will often hear mention of the BBC Micro Computer when people talk about the purpose of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. See this article on the history of the BBC Micro Computer.


Resources

Getting Started


  • You can purchase a Raspberry Pi from the official website, but beware unlicensed resellers - see the Buying Guide for more details.
  • Ensure you have all the equipment you'll need, and learn how to connect it together ready for power up - see Hardware Basic Setup
  • For more advanced issues including setting up your own SD card, see Advanced Setup.

Hardware


Distributions & Software


  • There are a number of operating systems and pre-configured images for use with the Raspberry Pi - see RPi Distributions.
  • Main distributions include Debian ARM, Fedora and KidsRuby.
  • You can use code to test the Performance of the RPi.
  • The Raspberry Pi is focused on Programming and supports a wide range of languages, with many tutorials available.

Community

Projects, Guides & Tutorials


Schools, Universities, Clubs & Groups


  • The Raspberry Pi Foundation's aims include encouraging education. Several groups including Computing At School aim to bring Computing Science back into schools.
  • Go to the Education Page to add your project and find helpful links.
