Overview
Raspberry Pi 2 Model B SBC
The Raspberry Pi 2, Model B delivers 6 times the processing capacity of previous models. This second generation Raspberry Pi has an upgraded Broadcom BCM2836 processor, which is a powerful ARM Cortex-A7 based quad-core processor that runs at 900MHz. The board also features an increase in memory capacity to 1Gbyte. Raspberry Pi is an Open-Source product designed to be supported by Internet-based user forums. As a starting point refer to the Official website at:
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
1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM
HD 1080p video output
Composite video (PAL/NTSC) output
Stereo audio output
10/100 BaseT RJ45 Ethernet socket
HDMI 1.3 & 1.4 video/audio socket
3.5mm 4-pole audio/composite video out jack socket
4 x USB 2.0 sockets
15-way MPI CSI-2 connector for Raspberry Pi HD video camera (775-7731)
15-way Display Serial Interface connector
MicroSD card socket
Boots from MicroSD card, running a new version of the Linux operating system (See Note below)
40-pin header for GPIO and serial buses (compatible with Raspberry Pi 1 26-pin header)
Power supply: 5V @ 2A via microUSB socket
Dimensions: 86 x 56 x 20mm
Firmware looks for add-on boards that comply with the HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) design rules. This allows the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B to set up the GPIO and load drivers to suit an expansion board automatically
