ABSTRACT:Raspberry pi is a very powerful,small computer having the size of a credit card which is invented with the intention to inspire learners to be creative. This computer make use of
This review paper provides a description of the raspberry pi technology which is a very powerful computer. Also introduces theoverall system architecture and programming in detail.
WHY DO WE GO FOR RPI?
It had changed the way kids were interacting with computers.This is compatible with many languages used for the programming, it canreplace microprocessor and hard disk in simple words it forms a new generation of computers.
SOFTWARE:
Operating System
The Raspberry Pi primarily uses Linux kernel-based operating systems. The ARM11 is based
on version 6 of the ARM which is no longer supported by several popular versions of Linux,including Ubuntu. The install manager for Raspberry Pi is NOOBS. The OSs included with
NOOBS are:
Archlinux ARM
OpenELEC
Pidora (Fedora Remix)
Raspbmc and the XBMC open source digital media center
RISC OS – The operating system of the first ARM-based computer
Raspbian (recommended) – Maintained independently of the Foundation; based onARM hard-float (armhf)-Debian 7 'Wheezy' architecture port, that was designed for anewer ARMv7 processor whose binaries would not work on the Raspberry Pi, butRaspbian is compiled for the ARMv6 instruction set of the Raspberry Pi making itwork but with slower performance. It provides some available deb software packages,pre-compiled software bundles.
A minimum size of 2 GB SD card is required, but a4 GB SD card or above is recommended. There is a Pi Store for exchanging programs. The 'Raspbian Server Edition (RSEv2.4)', is a stripped version with other software packages bundled as compared to the usual desktop
APPLICATIONS:
Applications of the Raspberry Pi can be given as follows:
Teaching programming concepts.
Teaching hardware interfacing.
Raspberry Pi being very cost effective can be deployed in large numbers inunderdeveloped and developing countries like Africa, India, China, Brazil etc. toschools and colleges and to everyone who is interested in computers and electronics.
It can be used in robotics for controlling motors, sensors, etc.
It can be used as a downloading machine replacing desktop computers. It consumes very low power and also can be accessed remotely.
It can be used as a media centre at home. Any television can be converted to a smartTV with internet capabilities with the Pi.
It can be used for designing prototypes of DIY projects and certain embedded devices.It becomes very cheap option for testing and evaluation purpose.
Can be used in creating and handling small servers.
It can be used for making digital photo frames, tablets etc. at home.
REAL TIME APPLICATIONS:
1) Home Automation:
With a Raspberry Pi, switches, web server, enthusiasts have created home automation
systems that can control fans and lights of a home from the Pi or even a smartphone.
2) Arcade gaming machine:
Since the games of the 80‘s and 90‘s are forgotten today, people created retro style
Arcade gaming machines using simple switches, a screen and the RPi.
3) Robot:
