The e-Community Alliance recently announced the release of the new Raspberry Pi 2 Generation B board. This updated development board was officially launched by the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s trading company and e-Community at The Shard in London. It offers six times the speed of its predecessor, with 1GB of RAM, making it more powerful and versatile than ever before. Priced at RMB 240, this is a significant step forward for the mini-computer platform.
The Raspberry Pi 2 Generation represents a major upgrade to the credit card-sized computing device. It features a new Broadcom BCM2836 ARMv7 quad-core processor running at up to 900MHz, along with 1GB of memory. This makes it over twice as fast as the previous model, delivering a smoother and more responsive user experience.
One of the key advantages of the Raspberry Pi 2 is its compatibility with all existing Raspberry Pi projects. It also includes extended GPIO pins, improved power management, and support for up to four USB devices, including high-power peripherals like external hard drives. The 40-pin GPIO interface allows for greater flexibility, enabling users to add sensors, expansion boards, and more. The first 26 pins remain identical to the A and B models, ensuring full backward compatibility.
Claire Doyle, global head of e Farnell, stated: “Raspberry Pi has become a revolutionary development board for engineers and electronics enthusiasts. e Farnell has been dedicated to promoting its evolution. We’ve sold over 2.8 million units worldwide. The new Raspberry Pi 2 offers better performance at a lower cost, opening up exciting possibilities for the electronics industry.â€
E-Community provides a unique platform for designing and manufacturing custom accessories for Raspberry Pi users. They offer complete solutions for IoT, motor control, oscilloscope applications, audio, and FPGAs through products like PiFace, BitScope, Cirrus Logic Audio Card, and EnOcean.
Eben Upton, CEO of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, said: “The Raspberry Pi 2 marks a new level of performance for the Raspberry Pi platform. It delivers six times the processing power and double the memory of the previous generation, while remaining fully compatible with the B+ board. This makes it an ideal choice for developers and hobbyists alike.â€
Since its launch in February 2012, the Raspberry Pi has sold over 4 million units globally. e-Link has created over 30 unique accessories to expand its usability. The e-Community has grown into one of the largest online communities for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, with over 280,000 registered members.
The Raspberry Pi 2 also enhances the user experience with lower latency and smoother performance, especially in gaming. Minecraft players will be amazed by its improved capabilities, such as faster TNT explosions. Existing users can easily upgrade their systems to enjoy enhanced performance.
The new Raspberry Pi 2 will be available through the e-Community from February 2nd. For more details, visit http://releasd.com/2c63 (login password: icecream).
