Raspberry Pi 1
The Raspberry Pi 1 is a single-board computer (SBC) developed by
the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It was first released in 2012 and
quickly gained popularity among hobbyists, educators, and
professionals due to its affordability, versatility, and community
support. The Raspberry Pi 1 served as the foundation for the later
Raspberry Pi models, which have evolved in performance and
features.
Key Features of Raspberry Pi 1 (Model A and Model B)
The Raspberry Pi 1 was available in two versions: Model A and
Model B. The main differences were the number of USB ports, RAM
size, and networking capabilities.
, 1. Processor
CPU: Broadcom BCM2835
Architecture: ARM1176JZF-S (ARM11)
Clock Speed: 700 MHz
Cores: 1 core (Single-core CPU)
This processor was relatively low-power for its time but still
capable of handling basic computing tasks, such as word
processing, web browsing, and even programming.
2. Memory (RAM)
Model A: 256 MB of RAM
Model B: 512 MB of RAM
The Model B had double the RAM of the Model A, which made
it better suited for multitasking and running more memory-
intensive applications.
3. Graphics
GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV
Capable of hardware-accelerated video decoding and basic 3D
graphics, although not as powerful as modern GPUs.
Supported 1080p video playback and OpenGL ES 2.0, which
allowed for basic graphical applications and games.
