Kunamamodeli amaningi amakhonsoli wegeyimu yevidiyo asuselwe kumabhodi e-SBC. Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwe-GameBoy, Nintendo kanye nama-consoles aphathekayo asebenzisa imidlalo yevidiyo ye-PlayStation kudumile. Kodwa, kuyiqiniso ukuthi ambalwa ama-consoles wegeyimu yevidiyo adalwe nawo Hardware Libre Banenhloso ehlukile. Omunye wabo ubizwa Ipipi. Ikhonsoli yomdlalo engasetshenziselwa ukudlala imidlalo noma ukumane ufunde ukugenca.
Isisekelo sePip yibhodi le-Raspberry Pi elinebhokisi eliphrintiwe nezilawuli ezingashintshwa kuze kube seqophelweni lokuthi zingaba yizimbobo zokuxhumana namanye amadivayisi noma izixhumi zokuxhumana.
Ngisho, IPip yikhonsoli yomdlalo egxile emhlabeni wokugenca, ukuze umsebenzisi wayo akwazi ukusebenzisa futhi afunde umhlaba wokugenca ngePip. Okuthile okuthokozisayo nokuhlukile ukuthi ukukhiqizwa okumbalwa noma iziduduzi zomdlalo ophathekayo kunakho.
UPip unesikrini se-LCD sombala, ngaphezulu kwekesi eliphrintiwe elinezilawuli zekhonsoli kanye nesisekelo se-Raspberry Pi 3. Noma kunjalo, kule modeli sizothola ibhodi le-Compute Module, okuthile okungajwayelekile kepha okwenza iphrojekthi yokugcina ibe lula futhi ilawuleke.
IPip inezesekeli eziningana ezifana namabhodi we-HAT azosivumela ukuthi sandise imisebenzi yePip futhi siyenze ixhumeke kwenye igajethi. Kubuye futhi isoftware ekhethekile ezosivumela ukuthi sakhe izinhlelo zethu kalula futhi ezisebenza ePip, le software ibhajadiswe ngegama le- Ilukuluku.
Ngeshwa, iPip ayitholakali kunoma yisiphi isitolo, ngoba okwamanje ingathengwa ngaphansi kuphela umkhankaso we-kickstarter. Yize lokhu kuzoba kwesikhashana ngoba ngesikhathi esifushane, UPip usethole imali engama-90% yemali eceliwe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma sinephrinta ye-3D, akukho lutho olusivimbela ekwakheni iPip yethu, okungukuthi, ukusebenzisa iRaspbian esikhundleni seLukuluku futhi sishintshe ezinye izilawuli, kepha ifilosofi kaPip singayiyisa kwenye idivayisi Awucabangi kanjalo?
