1. AIM
The objective of our report is to describe and show Raspberry Pi for student in
K22CLCH.
Raspberry Pi Foundation’s mission is to put the power of computing and digital
making into the hands of people all over the world. They do this so that more
people are able to harness the power of computing and digital technologies for
work, to solve problems that matter to them, and to express themselves creatively.

2. RESULTS
2.1. GENERAL DEFINITION
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a
computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable
little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how
to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything
you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing
high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing
games.
What’s more, the Raspberry Pi  has the ability to interact with the outside world,
and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines
and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red
cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to
learn to program and understand how computers work.
2.2. BRIEF STORY AND DEVELOPMENT
The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer designed and manufactured in
the UK with the initial intention of providing a cheap computing device for
education. Since its release, however, it has grown far beyond the sphere of
academia.

3
Its origins can be found in the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory in
2006. Computer scientist Eben Upton, along with Rob Mullins, Jack Lang and
Alan Mycroft, were concerned that incoming computing undergraduate students
had grown divorced from the technical aspects of computing. This was largely
due to school syllabuses that placed an emphasis on using computers rather than
understanding them.
Off the back of this initial concern, the Raspberry Pi foundation was formed.
Over the next six years the team worked on developing a cheap and accessible
device that would help schools to teach concepts such as programming, thus
bringing students closer to understanding how computing works.
The Raspberry Pi's initial commercial release was in February 2012. Since then,
the board has gone through a number of revisions and has been available in two
models, those being Model A and Model B. [5]

2.3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.3.1. HARDWARE COMPONENTS

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Hardware

● Some Hardware Components shown above are mention below:


● HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): It is used for transmitting
uncompressed video or digital audio data to the Computer Monitor, Digital TV, etc.
Generally, this HDMI port helps to connect Raspberry Pi to the Digital television.
● CSI Camera Interface: CSI (Camera Serial Interface) interface provides a
connection in between Broadcom Processor and Pi camera. This interface provides
electrical connections between two devices.
● DSI Display Interface: DSI (Display Serial Interface) Display Interface is used
for connecting LCD to the Raspberry Pi using 15-pin ribbon cable. DSI provides

5
fast High-resolution display interface specifically used for sending video data
directly from GPU to the LCD display.
● Composite Video and Audio Output: The composite Video and Audio output
port carries video along with audio signal to the Audio/Video systems.
● Power LED: It is a RED colored LED which is used for Power indication. This
LED will turn ON when Power is connected to the Raspberry Pi. It is connected to
5V directly and will start blinking whenever the supply voltage drops below 4.63V.
● ACT PWR: ACT PWR is Green LED which shows the SD card activity.

2.3.2. SOFTWARE REQUIRED


 RASPBIAN OS Although the Raspberry Pi’s operating system is closer to
the Mac than Windows, it’s the latter that the desktop most closely resembles It
might seem a little alien at first glance, but using Raspbian is hardly any different
to using Windows (barring Windows 8 of course). There’s a menu bar, a web
browser, a file manager and no shortage of desktop shortcuts of pre-installed
applications. Raspbian is an unofficial port of Debian Wheezy armhf with
compilation settings adjusted to produce optimized "hard float" code that will run
on the Raspberry Pi. This provides significantly faster performance for applications
that make heavy use of floating point arithmetic operations. All other applications
will also gain some performance through the use of advanced instructions of the
ARMv6 CPU in Raspberry Pi. Although Raspbian is primarily the efforts of Mike
Thompson (mpthompson) and Peter Green (plugwash), it has also benefited greatly
from the enthusiastic support of Raspberry Pi community members who wish to get
the maximum performance from their device.

2.5. APPLICATIONS
Buy a raspberry as a computer

The Raspberry Pi 3 is a $35 computer that is on the cusp of challenging the modern
PC.

The bump to the processing power of the latest machine has, according to its co-
creator, elevated its performance to a point where it can comfortably be used as a
desktop computer.

7
To determine whether the latest Pi really can go toe-to-toe with a current laptop, I
spent a week using the Pi 3 as my main work machine.

The test is inherently unfair, my regular laptop - a Toshiba Portege Z30 - costs
roughly 40 times the price of the Pi 3, and Pi co-creator Eben Upton was
comparing the board with an 'entry-level PC' from more than six years ago.

But despite the odds being stacked against the Pi, the credit card-sized computer
held its own in many respects and demonstrated just how much power it squeezes
out of its budget hardware.[6]

Buy a raspberry for home automation


Home automation is the control of any or all electrical devices in our home or
office. [1] There are many different types of home automation system available.
These systems are typically designed and purchased for different purposes. In fact,
one of the major problems in the area is that these different systems are neither
interoperable nor interconnected. [2] There are number of issues involve when
designing a home automation system. It should also provide a user friendly
interface on the host side, so that the devices can be easily setup, monitored and
controlled. [3] In smart home systems, the internet is also use to ensure remote
control. For years, the internet has been widely use for the processes such as
surfing on the pages, searching information, chatting, downloading and installation.
By the rapid developments of new technologies, monitoring, controlling services
have been started to be served along with internet as an instrument providing
8
interaction with machinery and devices. [4] The system can be use in several places
like banks, hospital, labs and other sophisticated automated system, which
dramatically reduced the hazards of unauthorized entry.[3] The main reason to
develop this system is to save time and man power along with maintaining security
and convenience.[1]
