Exercises 4: The Raspberry Pi
Goal:
The Raspberry Pi in contrast to the PC uses and ARM processor and peripherals are not included in the system but are connected externally through dedicated connectors. In addition to the Display, keyboard and mouse external devices can be connected through GPIO (General Purpose I/O) pins and through buses (
I2C, SPI etc). The Raspberry Pi we use has no hard disk but a 32 GByte micro SD card replacing it. Just like the PC it runs a Linux operating system. This system however is an ARM variant as compared to the PC system which uses Intel processors.
These exercises are supposed to show you similarities and differences between the two systems.
