Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is an open source credit-card sized computer platform originally designed with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools that plugs into your TV and computer keyboard.

The device is based on the ARM based system on chip that includes at least a 700MHz ARM processor, in-built GPU with HDMI connectivity and at least 256Mb of RAM - a number of models exist for different purposes and utilise an embedded optimised version of Linux operating system.
