Conservancy©s charitable mission is to help improve, develop, and defend FLOSS, and we do that by providing business, legal, and administrative services to our member projects. We have the honor of working with member projects comprised of, in our humble opinion, many of the best software developers in the world. Some of our member projects develop system software so ubiquitous that it permeates virtually every part of our society©s electronics-driven lifestyle. Other member projects are redefining how software will be written and even how computer science will be taught to the next generation of developers. Still others find their niche by solving a small-but- persistent problem better than anyone else ± and attract a cult following of users because of it. And, best of all, all of our member projects release their software under a license that allows the public to study, use, improve, and share the source code.

This computer uses ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) processor, the processor at the heart of the Raspberry Pi system is a Broadcom BCM2835 system- on-chip (SoC) multimedia processor. This review paper provides a description of the raspberry pi technology which is a very powerful computer. Also it introduces the overall system architecture and the design of hardware components are presented in details. Keywords: ARM, SoC , NOOBS, SD, GP, RPi. I. INTRODUCTION The Raspberry Pi is a small computer, same as the computers with which you’re already familiar. It uses a many different kinds of processors, so can’t install Microsoft Windows on it. But can install several versions of the Linux operating system that appear and feel very much like Windows. Raspberry Pi is also used to surf the internet, to send an email to write a letter using a word processor, but you can too do so much more. Simple to use but powerful, affordable and in addition difficult to break, Raspberry Pi is the perfect device for aspiring computer scientists [1].

  • Praise for the Official Ubuntu Book
    Praise for The Official Ubuntu Book “The Official Ubuntu Book is a great way to get you started with Ubuntu, giving you enough information to be productive without overloading you.” —John Stevenson, DZone Book Reviewer “OUB is one of the best books I’ve seen for beginners.” —Bill Blinn, TechByter Worldwide “This book is the perfect companion for users new to Linux and Ubuntu.
