2.1   Hardware Configuration of Raspberry Pi

 

2.1.1     Basic configuration of Raspberry Pi

 

The hardware of Raspberry Pi has depends on the model, but the basic framework maintains the same structure as before. However, as the popularity of Raspberry Pi has increased recently, and the requirements for higher performance and various functions have been raised, and thus usage area has been expanded, hardware configuration of the latest model is slightly changed to support higher performance and add new functionality.

 

Below is an overview of the hardware configuration for the Raspberry Pi 3 model B, the most recent model at this time. It has enhanced CPU functionality and new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities compared to the previous model, the Raspberry Pi 2 model B, but the other components are identical to the previous model and remain fully compatible.
