1.1.1     Birth of the Raspberry Pi

 

Raspberry Pi (abbreviated as RPi or RasPi) is a very cheap credit card-sized Linux computer developed by the British charity Raspberry Pi Foundation, originally developed to teach computer programming to students from poor countries around the world.

 

Since then, because of its powerful functions, its small size and low cost, Raspberry Pi has been widely known around the world and become popular, and not only it has been used for computer education for children that is its original development purposes, but also many people have purchased and used it for their own business or personal purposes.

 

As a result, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has added new features and continues to develop and supply new models with enhanced processing capabilities, and now it is possible to purchase multiple models depending on the purpose of use. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has partnerships with Premier Farnell/Element 14, RS Components and Egoman Technology Corp. in China to manufacture and supply products.
