The Raspberry Pi is a prototype computer designed by game developer David Braben that is intended to stimulate the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The computer is mounted in a package the same size as a USB memory stick, and has a USB port on one end with an HDMI port on the other. The Raspberry Pi provides an ARM processor which is suitable for running Linux for an estimated price of £15 (approx. $25) for a pre-configured system, cheap enough to give to a child to do whatever he or she wants with it. The prototype is part of a venture by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

The prototype is designed on a Broadcom processor 2763 including an ARM11 with 16.K.B cache.

Provisional specifications

  • 700MHz ARM11
  • 256MB of SDRAM
  • OpenGL ES 2.0
  • 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode
  • Composite and HDMI video output
  • USB 2.0
  • SD/MMC/SDIO memory card slot
  • General-purpose I/O
  • Open software (Ubuntu, Iceweasel, KOffice, Python)

Raspberry Pi Foundation

Development of the device is undertaken by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charitable organization registered with the Charity Commission. Its aim is to "promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing."

A podcast of an interview with trustee Eben Upton was made available in June 2011.
