Raspberry Pi () is a series of small single-board computers (SBCs) developed in the United Kingdom. The original Raspberry Pi computer was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in association with Broadcom. Since 2012, all Raspberry Pi products have been developed by Raspberry Pi Ltd, which began as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Foundation. In June 2024 Raspberry Pi created a new holding company, Raspberry Pi Holdings, which began trading as a public company on the London Stock Exchange in June 2024.
The Raspberry Pi device attracted attention because they were fully fledged computers, but were small — some as small as a credit card — and inexpensive — with some of them costing as little as $35 as of 2024. As a result Raspberry Pis were used in a variety of ways, ranging from components used to power machines such as smart speakers and robots, to being connected to bigger devices, such as desktop screens. The first model sold well beyond its original target market of education, ending up in robotics, home automation, industrial automation and used by hobbyists. The devices crop up in uses from high-tech farming systems to self-pouring beer taps. At the time of the public listing in 2024, the company said more than 60 million Raspberry Pi devices had been sold.
Originally, the Raspberry Pi project was created with the promotion of teaching basic computer science in schools in mind, leading to low cost, modularity, open design, and its adoption of the HDMI and USB standards.
Later models have much more memory (RAM), up to 16 GB while the original was much more limited in memory (512 MB or 256 MB, with the former capacity still sold), and also more limited in other areas such as having no wireless networking.
The Raspberry Pi became the best-selling British computer in 2015, when it surpassed the ZX Spectrum in unit sales.
