Raspberry Pi :The Ultimate Step by Step Raspberry Pi User Guide (The Updated Version ) - Jason Scotts

Introduction

The Raspberry Pi is a computer system with a single board. This is mainly used to help the basic computer science schools teach their trade better. Although this is a relatively simple unit, you should not be deceived by the components of the system. Unlike other computer devices, this unit needs certain types of skills to make the functions work to your advantage. Aside from these, you have to understand how the system works so you will know how to check out the system if something goes wrong. This book will tell you some of the basic aspects that you need to learn about the Raspberry Pi system.

Chapter 1: Raspberry Pi Basics

The Raspberry Pi is a computer board that has been developed in the United Kingdom. This is just as big as a credit card. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has developed and created this single board. The organization decided to come up with the creation to promote basic computer science teaching in numerous learning institutions.

The computer board was created through the licensed manufacturing deals that it created with companies such as Newark, Egoman, and RS Components. These companies sell out the computer board online. Egoman Company has even produced their own version that they can readily distribute to Taiwan and China. You can readily distinguish this version from the other types of Raspberry Pis through the red shade and the absence of the FCC or CE marks on the surface. As for the hardware, this is highly similar across all of the manufacturers.

The Raspberry Pi has a predetermined system found in its chip. This includes a processor with a firmware. The firmware, in turn, contains numerous modes that you may attempt overclocking. You may try out overclocking until the system reaches 1 gigahertz. This will not affect the warranty of the product in any way. The user may also enjoy using the system at 256 megabytes. If you think that this RAM value is insufficient, you may opt to upgrade this to 512 megabytes. This system does not include the solid state drive or the preinstalled hard disk. However, this utilizes an SD card for long term storage and booting. The goal of the foundation is to offer the client with two different versions with varying price ranges. Since then, the foundation has started accepting the orders for the models with higher prices.

After this major turn, the foundation decided to provide the Arch Linux ARM and the Debian with some distributions for download purposes. The tools for this task
