Raspberry Pi Zero

Show all headers | View raw

Have you all seen this?  New model of Raspberry Pi.  I just saw the
blurb about it a few minutes ago.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero/

- Broadcom 1 GHz ARM11 application processor with 512MB ram
- MicroSD, mini-HDMI, GPIO, and micro-USB data and power sockets
- Standard RPi 40 pin interface but they don't bother installing the
  header pins.  You get to do that yourself.
- Appears to have no network or USB host ports.  Supports USB OTG.
- 65mm x 30mm form factor, nice and small
- $5 retail (five US dollars).  Very aggressive pricing.  There is a
  free one included with every copy of MagPi magazine #40.
- Made in Wales
- The $5 doesn't seem to include an SD card which you'll need.
  I don't know if the regular RPi's also omit this.

Adafruit has some combo kits in stock that have SD card, cables, P/S,
etc. and include the board.  The bare board without the other stuff is
currently backordered.

I guess they're trying to overshadow the CHIP computer, BBC Micro Bit,
and other such devices which are appearing.

If you want a full-up computer for < $10 instead, try this:
