The Raspberry Pi production board (model B Rev 2.0)

The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost ($20-$35) credit-card sized Linux computer which was conceived with the primary goal of 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. The device is expected to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world (Read more).

Raspberry Pi is manufactured and sold in partnership with the worldwide industrial distributors Premier Farnell/Element 14 and RS Components, and the Chinese distributor Egoman Technology Corp[1].

History

If you are interested in why the Raspberry Pi was created, and why it is what it is, check the General History page, which highlights relevant events in its history. It is not intended to be a detailed history, so it can be read quickly. You could also check the design changes page for how the Raspberry Pi has evolved, and the manufacturing differences page that may help if you are having problems with your board.

Getting Started

Buying Guide Where can I get one and for how much? Base price is 20forthemodelA+and20 for the model A+ and 20forthemodelA+and35 for the Raspberry Pi 2. This price excludes local taxes and shipping. The Raspberry Pi's official worldwide distribution partners are Premier Farnell/Element 14 and RS Components Detailed information and other resellers can be found on the Buying Guide page. You can find out which peripherals and such are tested to work with the Pi in the Verified Peripherals section Basic Setup First little Raspberry Pi Steps... Ensure you have all the equipment you need to go with your Raspberry Pi. Become familiar with the board layout and connect it ready for power up. If you have not been provided with a pre-setup SD card you will need to prepare one with your chosen Operating System distribution If you are not using a HDMI monitor you may need to set up the correct video mode by editing the RPiconfig text file on the SD-card. Note: On the Debian OS after you log in you need to type startx at the prompt to get a graphic desktop. Particularly after first boot its important to do a clean shutdown with the command sudo halt Having problems? Try the Troubleshooting page.
