Raspberry Pi (/paɪ/) is a series of small single-board computers (SBCs) developed in the United Kingdom, originally limited to 32-bit with most later models 64-bit, with the Pico, before Pico 2, still 32-bit. The original Raspberry Pi computer was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in association with Broadcom. Since 2012, all Raspberry Pi products have been developed by Raspberry Pi Ltd, which began as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Foundation.
The Raspberry Pi project originally leaned towards the promotion of teaching basic computer science in schools (while actual applications are much more diverse including for use in space).[3][4][5] The original model became more popular than anticipated,[6] selling outside its target market for diverse uses such as robotics, home automation, industrial automation, and by computer and electronic hobbyists, because of its low cost, modularity, open design, and its adoption of the HDMI and USB standards.
Later models have much more memory (RAM), up to 16 GB while the original was much more limited in memory (512 MB or 256 MB, with the former capacity still sold), and also more limited in other areas such as having no wireless networking.
The Raspberry Pi became the best-selling British computer in 2015, when it surpassed the ZX Spectrum in unit sales.[7]
