Book Chapter
The Shape of a Computer Phenomenon
2016
Overview
An advance in computer architecture, the system‐on‐a‐chip (SoC) is a tiny package with a rather large collection of ready‐to‐use features. This chapter introduces the Raspberry Pi line of computer boards, looks at the Raspberry Pi's goals and history, and provides the advantages of this tiny one‐board computer has over much larger computers. The Raspberry Pi, about the size of a credit card, is a single‐board computer that packs very respectable computing power into a small space. The chapter introduces the features, components and layout of the Raspberry Pi board and shows contrasts between the various models but with an emphasis on the Raspberry Pi 2. The GPIO pins perform magic in tying the Raspberry Pi to the real world. The status light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) are to the lower left of the GPIO pins. The Raspberry Pi not only inspires the younger, student generation; it makes older generations better and more computer literate.
