Cross platform support Initially released on January 1992, OpenGL has a long history which led to many versions; market specific variations such as OpenGL ES in July 2003 and WebGL in 2011; a backward compatibility break with OpenGL core profile in August 2009; and many vendor specifics, multi vendors (EXT), standard (ARB, OES), and cross API extensions (KHR). OpenGL is massively cross platform but it doesn’t mean it comes automagically. Just like C and C++ languages, it allows cross platform support but we have to work hard for it. The amount of work depends on the range of the application- targeted market. Across vendors? Eg: AMD, ARM, Intel, NVIDIA, PowerVR and Qualcomm GPUs. Across hardware generations? Eg: Tesla, Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal architectures.

Projects and Applications What is a Raspberry Pi? Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized single-board computer designed and manufactured by the Raspberry Pi foundation in the United Kingdom. Raspberry Pi has an ARMv6 700 MHz single-core processor, a VideoCore IV GPU and 512MB of RAM. it uses an SD card for its operating system and data storage. The Raspberry Pi officially supports Raspbian, a lightweight linux OS based on Debian. A Little History of the Raspberry Pi Back in 2006, while Eben Upton, his colleagues at University of Cambridge, in conjunction with Pete Lomas and David Braben, formed the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Early prototypes of the Raspberry Pi were based on the 8-bit Atmel ATMega644 in order to reduce cost. Following prototypes utilized an ARM processor similar to what was used in the release version of the Raspberry Pi. History cont. In 2012, the team started its first production run consisted of 10,000 Raspberry Pi unites manufactured by foundries in China and Taiwan. Unfortunately, there was a manufacturing issue where the ethernet jack on the Raspberry Pi. This incident caused some minor shipping delays It took the team six years of hardware development to create the Raspberry Pi makers and electronics enthusiasts adore today Model B In April 2012, the original Raspberry Pi, also known as the model B, was launched. It offered an ARMv6 700 MHz single-core processor, a VideoCore IV GPU and 512MB of RAM, all packed in a credit card size board.
