Sasazi ukuthi i-Raspberry Pi yayingaphakathi kwe Hardware Libre enye yamapulatifomu asetshenziswa kakhulu. Kepha besingazi ukuthi ukuthengiswa kwayo kudlule isibalo samayunithi athengiswe yi-Commodore 64 retro game console.
Njengoba kubikwe omunye wabadali bephrojekthi, u-Eben Upton, iphrojekthi ye-raspberry plate ifinyelele kumanani amayunithi ayizigidi eziyi-12,5 athengisiwe, ingaphezulu kwamayunithi athengiselwe i-Commodore 64.
Lesi sibalo sinokuthile okuyisicupho futhi lokhu kuboniswe yimithombo yezindaba eyahlukahlukene, ngoba isibalo sezigidi eziyi-12,5 sengeza zonke izinhlobo zeRaspberry Pi ezikhishiwe kwe-Commodore 64, kubhekwa imodeli eyodwa kuphela yekhonsoli yomdlalo futhi akuwona wonke amamodeli aqalisiwe, ngakho ukuqhathanisa akukhona ngemibandela elinganayo. Kunoma yikuphi, ngalesi sibalo, kucatshangelwa noma cha i-Commodore 64, i-Raspberry Pi iyinkundla yesithathu ngenani lamayunithi ngemuva kwe-PC ne-Mac, into ethokozisayo ebeka Hardware Libre ekhanda lamaphrojekthi amaningi nakwezinye izimakethe eziningi noma izimo lapho kudingeka khona ugesi noma ikhompyutha.
Ngaphakathi kwamamodeli athengisiwe, I-Raspberry Pi Zero kube inguquko, enamayunithi angaphezu kwe-100.000 athengisiwe, kodwa-ke, imodeli ethandwa kakhulu kube yi-Raspberry Pi 3, imodeli ebilokhu futhi ithandwa kakhulu kuzo zonke izinhlobo zebhodi le-raspberry.
Ngokwami, ngicabanga ukuthi i-Raspberry Pi iyipulatifomu enhle futhi isibalo sayo kuyinto ejwayelekile noma okungenani enengqondo, ikakhulukazi uma sibheka ukuthi kunamaphrojekthi amaningi ahlobene naleli bhodi le-sbc. Kodwa-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi womabili amapulatifomu ahlukile, avela ezikhathini ezahlukahlukene kanye ne-PC neMac ene-Raspberry Pi. Lokho wukuthi, ukuqhathaniswa kwayo akunakwenzeka, njengoba nje kungenakuqhathaniswa ukukwenza nethelevishini noma namanye amapulatifomu. Akunandaba, amayunithi ayizigidi eziyi-12,5 ayimpumelelo ye- iphrojekthi obekulindelwe amayunithi angama-20.000 XNUMX kuphela Awucabangi?
