Default Raspberry Pi Model B Board


Raspberry Pi Model B

w/ 256 MB RAM, 2 USB Ports and Ethernet

The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost credit-card sized computer board which was conceived with the primary goal of teaching computer programming to children. It's also a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games, it even plays high-definition video. Or you can use it as a small server for applications like mpd or ownCloud. Or as a gaming or emulation system, e.g. the RPi board plus Keyrah plus a C64 case and keyboard make a superb Über-Commodore machine. :-)

The system must be booted from an SD card (suitable card images are freely available), other mass storage devices can be connected via USB.

Features:
  • SoC: Broadcom BCM2835 (CPU, GPU and SDRAM)
  • CPU: 700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S core (ARM11 family)
  • GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenVG 1080p30 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High-Profile decoder
  • Memory (SDRAM): 256 Megabytes (MiB)
  • Video output: Composite RCA, HDMI
  • Audio output: 3.5 mm, HDMI
  • Mass storage: SD/MMC slot
  • USB: two USB2.0 ports
  • Network: 10/100 Ethernet RJ45
  • Power supply: 5V/700 mA (3.5 W) via microUSB Dimensions: 85.6 mm x 53.98 mm

Impressive! It will be interesting to see what can be done with this as time goes by.

Seems more than a little dishonest to be disguising this advertising link for Vesalia as a neutral news item. Especially when the Raspberry Pi model B is actually £29.46 including delivery.

Should anyone wish to buy one from a recognised distributor, rather than this "Amiga company" making 30% markup on a product made by a charity:

I've just ordered one of these (from element14)

shall see how it goes

I'd always wanted to build a Sega Megadrive emulator into a sega case, while keeping all the external connectors original...

this looks almost perfect for it
