It's been a year of careful planning, development, manufacturing and testing to get to todays release. We had a number of last minute issues which we cleared up but the Pi 3 is now a product! WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth classic + BLE, quad A53 running at 1G with 64k L1$, 512k L2$ and 1G memory.
Well done! Awesome work.
Sounds like some great upgrades. Looking forward to using it!
I think that the built in wifi is an incredible asset ! the Raspberry Pi has always been a playground for me !
I'm constantly amazed by what these guys can fit into a $35 board
I hope that someone could help me with this: Is there a website that has a collection of Raspberry Pi Project that can be done by entry level/beginner programmers? I found a few projects, but I would assume that the options are limitless..
This one is full of projects. Some are easy, others are harder. Usually they're documented well enough that a beginner can follow them.
This is such magnificent release, adding the things most wanted to the already lovely rPi.
Gordon, tell us what was the toughest engineering task to make this all happen?
Probably getting certification for WiFi and Bluetooth as an intentional radiator. We had to achieve certification for most countries separately since there are no harmonised standards like there are in europe. So requires working with certification companies in UK, China, Korea, Australia, Japan... And that's just the start! On software it was a real challenge for our engineers re-writing the SD card driver to use a completely different piece of hardware so that we could use the SDIO interface for the WiFi, but this is awesome because it means the WiFi bandwidth doesn't share the USB2 bus.
So excited for what this can do in the world of EdTech, especially in developing areas of the world.
It's getting better and better. I'm waiting for time to use this as my main development environment for nginx, php and mysql.
SO MUCH EXCITE.
Time to geek out
