The Raspberry Pi is a microcomputer-based ARM processor.
The size of a credit card, it allows running multiple Linux OS (including Debian) and other compatible systems.
It is supplied bare (single mother card, without housing, power supply, keyboard, mouse and screen) with the aim to reduce costs and allow the use of recycled materials.
However it is sufficiently open and powerful (ARM 700 MHz, 512 MB RAM) to allow a wide range of uses.
In particular, the decoding of flows Blu-ray full HD (1080p), program execution and recent games.
