Hardware & Peripherals:
Hardware - detailed information about the Raspberry Pi boards.
Hardware History - guide to the Raspberry Pi models.
Low-level Peripherals - using the GPIO and other connectors.
Expansion Boards - GPIO plug-in boards providing additional functionality.
Screens - attaching a screen to the Raspberry Pi.
Cases - lots of nice cases to protect the Raspberry Pi.
Other Peripherals - all sorts of peripherals used with the Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi 1st Production Board
- Announced: 29th Feb 2012 - Start of Sale Only
- Credit-card Format
- Initial 10k Batch (All Model-B's) Manufactured in China (Jan/Feb 2012)[1]
- Should look identical to the Raspberry Pi Beta Board below (except GPIO header will not be populated).
- Nokia/Qt Development group has donated vouchers for 400 RPi units for developers[2]
- The batch was delayed several weeks due to the RJ45 network connector being substituted for the wrong part[3]
Raspberry Pi Beta Production Board
- Announced: December 2011[4]
- Credit-Card Format
- Manufactured in UK
- Produced 100[5] PCBs
- Characteristic feature of hand-modded correction to PCB [6]
- See the blog post which includes a video explaining how the production units will differ from the beta boards.
- Pre-production board (beta board) PCB, topside
- Pre-production board (beta board) PCB, underside
- Pre-production board vs credit-card
