INTROUCTION TO
RASPBERRY PI
What is Raspberry Pi ?
 Credit card size single board computer or a
Programmable PC

 Developed in U.K. by Raspberry - Pi foundation in

2009

 Concept Initiated by Eben Upton who works at

Broadcom

 Supported by “University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory & Broadcom”

 To promote the study of basic computer science in

schools & to develop interest among kids and adults

 Has been a revolution in the market with over 3

million units sold

 Video Demo (www.raspberrypi.org)

History
 The Raspberry Pi is the work of the Raspberry Pi
Foundation, a charitable organisation.

 UK registered charity (No. 1129409), May 2009

 It's supported by the University of Cambridge

Computer Laboratory and tech firm Broadcomm
Why Raspberry Pi ?
 Very Low Cost ($25 – Rs 1550/- for Model A & $35 –
Rs 2200/- for Model B/B+)

 Great tool for Learning Programming, Computers &

Concepts of Embedded Linux, etc

 Support for all Age Groups (School Children, College

Undergraduates, Professional Developers,
Programmers)

 Supports & runs Free and Open Source Linux OS

Consumes less than 5W of Power

 Supports Full HD Video Output (1080p), Multiple USB

Ports , etc

 Fun to learn & explore.You are limited by your

imagination
Raspberry Pi – Models
3 Main Models/Versions released till date with Model
B+ being the latest in the series.
Technical Specs.
 Processor : Broadcom BCM2835 SoC (System on
Chip)

 Core : ARM11 (700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S)

Memory (RAM) : 256 Mb (Model A) or 512 Mb (Model
B/B+)

 GPU : Broadcom Videocore IV

USB 2.0 : 1 (Model A) / 2 (Model B) / 4 (Model B+)

 On Board Storage : SD Card (Model A/B) / Micro SD

(Model B+)

 Video Input : Camera Support via CSI Connector

 Video Output : Composite Video (RCA) or HDMI or

LCD Support via DSI
Technical Specs. (Cont.)
 Networking : 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet Support on
Model B/B+

 Audio Outputs : 3.5 mm Jack

 I.O. Lines : 26 Pin GPIO Connector on Model A/B and

40 Pin GPIO Connector on Model B+ (GPIO, UART,
SPI, I2C, Power Rails, I2S, etc)

 Power Source : 5V/2A DC Adapter via Micro USB

 Power Ratings : 300 mA (1.5W – Model A), 700 mA

(3.5W – Model B) & 600 mA (3W – Model B+)

 Operating Systems : Raspbian, Debian, Pidora,

Fedora, OpenELEC, ArchLinux ARM, FreeBSD,etc
Setup Python

sudo apt-get install python-dev

sudo apt-get install python-rpi.gpio

GPIO PINS
Set the status of GPIO Pins
Set the status of GPIO Pins
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

GPIO.setup(12, GPIO.OUT)

try:
while True:
GPIO.output(12, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.output(12, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)
finally:
GPIO.cleanup()
 Changing the brightness of the LED
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(12, GPIO.OUT)
p = GPIO.PWM(12, 50) # channel=12 frequency=50Hz
p.start(0)
try:
while True:
for dc in range(0, 101, 5):
p.ChangeDutyCycle(dc)
time.sleep(0.1)
for dc in range(100, -1, -5):
p.ChangeDutyCycle(dc)
time.sleep(0.1)
finally:
p.stop()
GPIO.cleanup()
Protocols Used:
 I2C

 SPI

 Serial
ADVANTAGES
 It is very easy to connect to the internet

 Entire Linux software stack is available

 Can be programmed using a variety of

programming languages
Applications
 It can make your Old TV in to a smart TV. (You can
play Videos, 3D Games, Music, Browse Internet and
much more.Raspberry Pi can Act as Full HD 1080p Media Player.

 Its a Mini Computer which just cost Rs.2,350/-;You can connect a Monitor, Keyboard and
Mouse and use it as a normal computer.

 Its Graphics Capabilities is better than Apple

Products.
DISADVANTAGES
 It does not have a Hard Disk associated with it for
permanent storage pf files,we have to connect one
externally or have to use SD card for the purpose.

 The RAM is a POP package on top of the SoC, so

it’s not removable or swappable.

 There is no Real time clock associated with the

board.Adding an RTC is expensive.You can add
one yourself using the GPIO pins.
