| |
| − | Based on the Motorola 68008 CPU, 20 bit address bus and 8 bit data bus, running at 2 MHz.
| |
| − | (Apparently it is now impossible to build on a solderless breadboard, using only chips currently in production, a computer that can run Linux -- so running Linux on a solderless breadboard necessarily requires using some out-of-producing part like the 68008).
| |
| − | Runs uClinux, heavily pruned to fit in 480 KB Flash ROM (the remaining 32 KB of the 512 KB Flash ROM is masked by memory-mapped I/O devices) and and 512 KB of SRAM.
| |
| − | Runs vi and Colossal Cave Adventure.
| |
| − | "a super-minimal uClinux system ... it needs about 343K of ROM and 312K of RAM, or just 628K of RAM if you’ve got a bootloader that can fill RAM from some external source. My 68 Katy system is slightly heavier than that due to including vi and Adventure".

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Raspberry Pi is a low-cost (USD $35; GBP ~£22) credit-card sized Linux computer for teaching computer programming to children, and often used by hobbyists. This board is so small and cheap that it is often though of with micro-controllers, which it is not.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To use it you will need a power supply ( usb ) and a memory card ( perhaps 8 gigs ) It has an Ethernet connection and you will probably want to use it; either straight or, through a usb wireless dongle.
| |
| − | Compare the cost to adding Internet and memory disk storage to an arduino, and you will see how economical this guy is.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It also has connections for a usb keyboard and mouse. If used these push the cost of the Pi into the 100 dollar range. However, the mouse and keyboard are not necessary ( at least past initial setup ), instead you can use a remote desktop connection and use your PC's keyboard and mouse.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Pi has nice support for Python which is a powerful but friendly language.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Pi does not run programs in deterministic time ( nor to most Linux machine ) which is a disadvantage compared to most micro-controller systems. A nice combination is an arduino connected to Pi, low level task running in deterministic time ( blinking an IR Led as remote control ) can be done by the arduino while large memory space, Internet connectivity, and logging to memory cards is doe by the Pi.
