Sasisazi ukuba iRaspberry Pi yayingaphakathi Hardware Libre elinye lamaqonga asetyenziswa kakhulu. Kodwa besingazi ukuba intengiso yayo igqithile kwinani leeyunithi ezithengisiweyo yiCommodore 64 retro game console.
Njengoko kuchaziwe ngomnye wabenzi beprojekthi, u-Eben Upton, Iprojekti ye-raspberry plate ifikelele kwinani le-12,5 yezigidi zeeyunithi ezithengisiweyo, iphezulu kuneeyunithi ezithengiselwe i-Commodore 64.
Eli nani linento yomgibe kwaye oku kubonisiwe ngamajelo eendaba, kuba inani le-12,5 lezigidi longeza zonke iimodeli zeRaspberry Pi ezikhutshiweyo, ngelixa ye-Commodore 64, inye kuphela imodeli yekhonsoli yomdlalo ethathelwa ingqalelo kwaye ayizizo zonke iimodeli eziqalisiwe, ngoko ke uthelekiso alukho kwimimiselo elinganayo. Ngapha koko, ngalo mzobo, kuthathelwa ingqalelo okanye hayi iCommodore 64, iRaspberry Pi liqonga lesithathu leeyunithi emva kwePC kunye neMac, into enika umdla ebeka Hardware Libre kwintloko yeeprojekthi ezininzi kunye nakwezinye iimarike ezininzi okanye iimeko apho i-electronics okanye i-computing iyimfuneko.
Kwiimodeli ezithengisiweyo, I-Raspberry Pi Zero ibe yinguqu, kunye neeyunithi ezingaphezu kwe-100.000 ezithengisiweyo, Kodwa ke, eyona modeli ithandwayo iye yaba yiRaspberry Pi 3, imodeli esele ikho kwaye ithandwa kakhulu kuzo zonke iimodeli zebhodi ye-raspberry.
Ngokwam, ndicinga ukuba i-Raspberry Pi liqonga elihle kwaye inani layo liyinto eqhelekileyo okanye ubuncinci obunengqiqo, ngakumbi ukuba sithathela ingqalelo ukuba zininzi iiprojekthi ezinxulumene nale bhodi ye-sbc. Nangona kunjalo, ndicinga ukuba omabini amaqonga ahlukile, avela kumaxesha ahlukeneyo kunye nePC kunye neMac eneRaspberry Pi. Oko kukuthi, ukuthelekiswa kwayo akunakwenzeka, njengoko kungenakuthelekiswa nokuyenza ngomabonwakude okanye ngamanye amaqonga. Nokuba yeyiphi na, iiyunithi ezizizigidi ezili-12,5 ziyimpumelelo Iprojekthi apho kulindeleke kuphela iiyunithi ezingama-20.000 Ngaba awucingi?
