RaspberryPiBoard
This page collects information about Raspberry Pi Foundation's ultra-low-cost (~15GBP or 25USD) Linux computer for teaching computer programming to children.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1129409) which exists to promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing. We expect this computer to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world.
Please note that the Raspberry Pi isn't released yet - this page is a community work in progress in preparation for the launch

Accessories & Peripherals
Main article: RaspberryPiBoardVerifiedPeripherals
Case
A protective case is an often-cited required accessory. Cases are likely to be offered both directly from Raspberry Pi and from 3rd party companies such as Special Computing.
Power Adapters
The board takes fixed 5V input, (with the 1V2 core voltage generated directly from the input using the internal switch-mode supply on the BCM2835 die). This permits to adopt the micro USB form factor, which, in turn, grants the user from inadvertently plugging out-of-range power inputs; that would be dangerous, since the 5V go straight to hdmi and output usb ports, even though the problem should be mitigated by some protections applied to the input power: the board provides a polarity protection diode, a voltage clamp, and a self-resetting semiconductor fuse.
Expansion boards
It is planned that expansion boards will be offered both by Raspberry Pi Foundation and by 3rd parties, as of next year.
HDMI to VGA Adaptor
The Broadcom BCM2835 only provides HDMI output and composite output. It does not provide RGB or the other signals needed to by RGB, S-VIDEO or VGA connectors so additional componenty would be needed to generate these signals. Additional componentry would push the price beyond the $25 target and therefore won't happen.
A couple of options for VGA or component RGB outputs, bridging from either HDMI or the MIPI DSI interface:
Firstly, the following *might* work. Beagleboard people have reported various levels of success (mainly "issues"):
Something similar:
http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc2/accessories/fit-vga/
...it may need to be modified as described here:
http://blog.galemin.com/2011/03/dvi-d-to-vga-converter-for-beagleboard-xm/
Alternatively, it may be possible to design an expansion board that plugs into the LCD headers on the R.Pi. Here is something similar for Beagleboard:
http://boardzoo.com/product_info12.php
Hardware Details
The first product is about the size of a credit card, and is designed to plug into a TV or be combined with a touch screen accessory for a low cost tablet. The product will be available in two configurations: Model A and Model B. The expected price is $25 for a fully-configured Model-A system and around $35 for a Model B.
Components
(Provisional - some of the expansion interfaces won't be available on production boards) (PCB IDs are those of the Model B Beta board)
- SoC: Broadcom BCM2835 media processor system-on-chip featuring:
- CPU core: ARM1176JZF-S ARM11 core clocked at 700MHz; ARM VFP.
- GPU core: a Broadcom VideoCore GPU providing OpenGL ES 1.1, OpenGL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG 1.1, Open EGL, OpenMAX and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode.

Manual
A manual is currently in production by members of the Computing At School working group. This began on the 13 October 2011 and is due to be ready for early March 2012. The manual is aimed at the project's target audience, children, so that they can take their "First steps in Computing Science".
For the first release (~December 2011), there will mostly likely be very minimal documentation.
Schematic / Layout
Errata
Clocking
- Provisional main CPU clock speed is 700MHz
- No data currently released on the GPU or other component clock speeds
Power management
- Target power consumption is <1W (This is for the A version, no power consumed from the USB plug.)
Preliminary Alpha board power usage measurements. This is with graphics output on the HDMI port, no power from USB plugs.
- Input 7.5V, ~180mA Linux running only with prompt.
- Input 7.5V, ~300mA heavy graphics running on system.
Graphics accelerator
The GPU is a Broadcom VideoCore IV.
Display Output Options
Standard video outputs include:
- Composite video (NTSC and PAL) via an RCA plug. 3.5mm stereo jack for audio.
- HDMI 1.3a standard output.
These would allow any kind of TV to be used. Computer monitors using DVI-D would also be supported with a simple HDMI-DVI cable.
VGA monitors would require either a composite or HDMI to VGA scan converter box. The SOC does not support any kind of analog component video, including VGA, since the SOC is designed for mobile phone use where this would not be a requirement.
DLP Pico projector
The boards have both Composite and HDMI outputs so should interface with a range of DLP and laser based Pico projectors on the market.
Interfacing to Raw LCD Panels
Nokia N900 has 800x480 DCS LCD (afaik its like DSI, but has build in framebuffer). Replacement screen is about ~$40 (~$50 with 4pin resistive touchscreen).
Nokia N8 has AMOLED 360x640 pixels DSI LCD. Replacement screen is about ~$35, another ~$25 for Multitouch Synaptics T1021A touchscreen (I2C + interrupt IO, no docs/drivers).
Potential LVDS interfacing chips :
TC358764/5 Display Bridge (MIPI® DSI to LVDS)
DVI receiver TFP401A, TFP403, or TFP501 + LVDS transmitter SN75LVDS83B or SN65LVDS93A (Mentioned earlier fit-VGA is build around TFP401A, probably many more "active" DVI2VGA cables are build the same way)
I2C/SPI ADC can be used to interface 4 pin resistive Touch Screens, For example STMPE812A
16x2 LCD Displays
The old-style 2-line, 16-character LCD displays can be commonly controlled over UART, thus providing a cheap way to display values for sensors etc.
Interfacing to Camera Module
is Sony sub-LVDS same as MIPI SCI-2? Sony IMX020 5Mbip module is available for $5-7 (SE K850i replacement camera).
Looks like Nokia N95 uses SCI-2 5Mpix camera module with autofocus. ~$15 replacement part.
General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO), I2C, I2S, SPI, UART
Production Board GPIO Header
The production board has a 26-pin 2.54mm expansion header, arranged in a 2x13 strip. They provide 8 GPIO pins plus access to I2C, SPI, UART), as well as +3V3, +5V and GND supply lines (presumably low power). Pin one is column 0 on the bottom row. All the UART, SPI and I2C pins can be reconfigured as GPIO pins, to provide a total of 17 GPIO pins.[6]
Voltage levels are 3v3. There is no over-voltage protection on the board - the intention is that people interested in serious interfacing will use an external board with buffers, level conversion and analog I/O rather than soldering directly onto the main board.
At least some of the GPIO pins support PWM.[7]
Each GPIO can interrupt, high/low/rise/fall/change.[8]
It is also possible to reconfigure some of the pins to provide an ARM JTAG interface.[9]
It is also possible to reconfigure some of the pins to provide an I2S or PCM interface.[10]
It is also possible to reconfigure some of the pins to provide a second I2C interface. [no-ref]
Kernel boot messages go to the UART at 115200bps.

Driver support
The Foundation will not include a GPIO driver in the initial release, standard linux GPIO drivers should work with minimal modification.[11] The Foundation will not include a SPI driver in the initial release, we hope the community might write one.[12] The Foundation will not include an I2C driver in the initial release, we hope the community might provide one, standard linux I2C drivers should work with minimal modification.[13]
MIPI CSI-2
On the production board, we bring out the MIPI CSI-2 interface to pads for an unpopulated 15-way flat flex connector
DSI
On the production board, we bring out the DSI interface to pads for an unpopulated 15-way flat flex connector
CEC
HDMI-CEC is supported by hardware but some driver work will be needed and currently isn't exposed into Linux userland.
Eben notes that he has seen CEC demos on the Broadcom SoC they are using.
Software Details
BootRom
The boards do not include NAND or NOR storage - everything is on the SD card, which has a FAT32 partition with GPU firmware and a kernel image, and an EXT2 partition with the rootfs.
We're not currently using a bootloader - we actually boot via the GPU, which contains a proprietary RISC core (wacky architecture ;) . The GPU mounts the SD card, loads GPU firmware and brings up display/video/3d, loads a kernel image, resets the SD card host and starts the ARM.
You could replace the kernel image with a bootloader image, and that would work fine.
Distributions
Source code and binaries for Raspberry Pi will be available at various places from launch, including pre-built Linux distributions.
Ubuntu is currently listed as the default distribution on the Raspberry Pi website, but the Ubuntu developers have now stated they will not be supporting the ARMv6 architecture, so Ubuntu is likely to be dropped.
Eben says (regarding default distribution): "Either Ubuntu or Fedora; the main point in Fedora’s favour is their ongoing support for ARMv6 architectures."
Main page: RaspberryPiBoardDistributions
Development environments
Instead of just using compiler + editor, you can use "development tool chains" which integrate compiler, build system, packaging tools etc. in one tool chain.
Compiler
The Broadcom processor on Raspberry Pi contains an ARM v6 general purpose processor and a Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU. No data is currently available on other cores (if any) available in the BCM2835.
ARM
There is broad compiler support including gcc - please see ARM Compilers
The ARM is capable of around 500 BOGOMIPS [14], 5400 LINPACK KFLOPS with software floating point and 22000 KFLOPS with softfp hardware floating point[15].
GPU
The GPU provides APIs for Open GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode.
The GPU is capable of 1Gpixel/s, 1.5Gtexel/s or 24 GFLOPs of general purpose compute and features a bunch of texture filtering and DMA infrastructure - the Raspberry Pi team are looking at how they can make this available to application programmers.
The GPU blob is an 18MB as an elf file, plus libraries. It does an awful lot. [16]
DSP
There is a DSP, but there isn't currently a public API (Liz thinks the BC team are keen to make one available at some point).
Other software
Flash
From Eben: "We'll have to take a look. We support hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and have had Flash Lite running incredibly fast. Personally, I'd like to get the official hardware-accelerated Flash 10 going on there, running against OpenGL ES 2.0, but that's something to think about after the launch."

Manufacturing
Compliancy
Products are RoHS and CE compliant. Please contact Raspberry Pi for details regarding WEEE in your country.
Shipping
Raspberry Pi will ship worldwide to the best of their ability (ie subject to UK export and local import laws).
Raspberry Pi devices will ship from the UK (and possibly US) and Raspberry Pi will be looking to sign up distribution partners in due course.
To have an idea of shipping cost why don't you look at the Royal Mail website: http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder?catId=23500532&gear=pricingcalc&campaignid=pricefinder_redirect
Look for a package just bigger then 85mm x 55mm x 30mm, weight about 55 grams.
As an example: New Zealand, small package 100grams, air mail 5 days : £2.05
