Raspberry Pi

What is Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi is a computer with a credit-card size that can plug in TV and a keyboard! It's capable as others computer can do, for example spreadsheets,word-processing and even game! Raspberry make up It also plays high-definition video. Purpose of Raspberry Pi is to let kids all over the world to learn programming.

Raspberry Pi recommend Debian as our default distribution, Raspbian is optimised version of Debian . It’s straightforward to replace the root partition on the SD card with another ARM Linux distro if you want to use something else (there are several available on our downloads page). The OS is stored on the SD card.

Raspberry pi have 2 model,Model A and Model B. Model A used to be 128Mb Ram but it has been redesigned to have 256Mb RAM, one USB port and no Ethernet (network connection). Model B has 256Mb RAM, 2 USB port and an Ethernet port.The Model A will cost $25 and the Model B $35, plus local taxes.The Raspberry Pi measures 85.60mm x 53.98mm x 17mm, with a little overlap for the SD card and connectors which project over the edges. It weighs 45g.

There is composite and HDMI out on the board, so you can hook it up to an old analogue TV, to a digital TV or to a DVI monitor (using a cheap adapter for the DVI). There is no VGA support, but adaptors are available, although these are relatively expensive.The chip specifically supports HDMI. VGA is considered to be an end-of-life technology, so supporting it doesn’t fit with our plans at the moment.

Features of the Raspberry Pi model B board

  • Broadcom BCM2835 700MHz ARM1176JZFS processor with FPU and Videocore 4 GPU
  • GPU provides Open GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode
  • GPU is capable of 1Gpixel/s, 1.5Gtexel/s or 24GFLOPs with texture filtering and DMA infrastructure
  • 256MB RAM
  • Boots from SD card, running a version of Linux
  • 10/100 BaseT Ethernet socket
  • Price: £21.60 (exc VAT & delivery)
You can buy the Raspberry Pi through Premier Farnell/Element 14 and RS Components. Both distributors sell all over the world.

Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

Image
The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Image
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) also known as Transport Protocol. TCP is one of the two original components of the suite, complementing the Internet Protocol (IP), and therefore the entire suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP.Transmission Control Protocol is built on top of IP. Protocol mean the rules in order two devices or more to communicate with each others.In others meaning, Devices with TCP can only communicate with devices equip with TCP. For example like human communication in same using English as Global language then TCP is similar with english! Function of Transmission Contol Protocol: It will assume that IP might lose some data ,so it will keep a copy of data and send data to receiver until get an acknowledgement from the receiver. If the data sent is unresposive for too long , the TCP will send it again. The responsibility of the transport layer is to present a reliable end to-end pipe to the application.The data either arrives in the proper order or the

File transfer from android to linux

Android File transfer basically got two method or format which are Media device (MTP) and also for camera (PTP). However , the MTP is only suitable for windows or Mac computer, it was not compatible with the Linux. The PTP only allow you to transfer photos only but not others files. However you can let your ubuntu to support mtp by using the "mtpfs" or "jmtpfs". Below I will show step by step how to configure the MTP service in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. First of all you need to install the mtp tools in linux, you can install by using the commands below. Open the terminal and type in the following 2 line. (ps:without the quote, and it may required you to key in your password) "sudo apt-get install libmtp-common mtp-tools libmtp-dev lilbmtp-runtime libmtp9" "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" 2nd Step you have to edit the fuse.conf file. Fuse provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own file system implementation. =| You
