I was looking to build a pipad. I developed a grid of price and information. Absolute minimum is $99 based on pi 0 with a 5" screen. The best you can get is like $240-$270 based on pi 3 with wifi and Bluetooth, 32GB storage, and 12 hour battery. If they're this cheap, I mean in comparison to the Ipad or Galaxy Tab, why is there no build service for these things? Is this viable and could all the same hardware be used for the Banana Pi and Arduino? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:2436:d489:b984:5553:ace4:d4aa ( talk) 23:51, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
I used this page as a resource for obtaining a case for an old Raspberry Pi I picked up, only to discover that important information is missing from this page (or is poorly displayed) particularly regarding the B revision 1, which has no mounting holes and can only be edge-mount. Had I known there were significant physical differences between the B revisions, I would have made a better purchasing decision.
Here is an up-to-date resource that identifies 23 different Pis. I leave it to you to determine how best to integrate this information. 65.94.249.3 ( talk) 23:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Figured I'd mention that I'm the author of the open source blobs, I extended the section on it a bit though it's based on entirely factual information. I'm not affiliated with the Raspberry Pi foundation and have no interest in promoting the product paid or unpaid. I could also improve the article with better technical information about Raspberry Pi but unfortunately a lot of it is not possible to cite due to discussions taking place on IRC channels or in private. Anyway that's straying slightly off topic, bottom line is, I have no interest in promoting anything (especially my old and deserted projects that are no longer in active development), though I do feel the article could use more accurate technical information beyond what's supplied by Broadcom, for example VC4 fusing and secure boot capabilities of VC4 (bootsig.bin and co), I mean it's a fun little world on the other side of the ARM processor that most people are not very aware of.
That's not to say I lack subjective views on the matter, I definitely have a bunch, and I recognize that they have no place here (even regarding aspects of the article as a whole). However I would say I'm hardly unique in that aspect, everyone usually has a degree of subjective views on things they may write about, being able to remain neutral and stick to facts is usually more important than one's personal views, which, if desired one can express through other mediums.

The Pi 4 was released... It seems like the info is needed throughout the article. In considered editing in a quick mention, but finding the right place is not obvious... A bit of clear generational info might be useful... MoHaG ( talk) 06:32, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi! At 6:32am on the day of release you are begging for more information here!! Having researched and read the official release notes from the Raspberry Pi Foundation and tech media news releases, I have added a few snippets myself and leave you to add more where relevant. I agree a lot of information is duplicated and the data has been tacked onto the end of existing information as new models have come along (I am guilty of doing this too in my edits). A thorough rewrite and prune of the article is overdue. I suggest making more use of tabular information to identify what is common and what has changed between models, but this is beyond my capabilities right now. 61.68.205.101 ( talk) 00:29, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
I just updated the top end of the capabilities, but I didn't remove the old data, because I wasn't sure if the Pi 4 had changed processor (or bit size) enough to make the GHz (or even the RAM) not directly comparable. Someone with more knowledge could *probably* fix that with some deletes. JimJJewett ( talk) 08:45, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

The ThreadX page describes [1] how threadX is functionally the true, GPU-bound OS of the raspberry pi, and every other OS (Rapsbian, Windows IOT, etc) runs in a subservient role to ThreadX (which manages undervolt and overheating issues, etc).
I think that some of the text from the threadX article should be included in the RaspberryPi article so that people can understand that it isn't a true linux/windows/whatever computer, but rather a GPU-centric mobile platform which allows you to run your OS of choice on *top* of a proprietary RTOS.

Hello, If there is an option to do so using the Wikipedia tools, I propose changing the format of the "specifications" table. I have a 4k monitor and it is still hard to cross reference the table headers with the data in the table because of the size of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeneralBen ( talk • contribs) 02:02, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
The chart at the bottom only specifies the day of release of a few of the later models. The raspberrypi.org blog has exact release dates for all but the first (RasPi 1B), and many of those are already linked.
Would it be ok to add the dates to the rest which have exact dates in the references?

RPi 3 B and B+ have different pin layout. RPi 3 B+ has new PoE pins as RPi 4 B at the place of 'RUN' holes in the picture of 'Location of connectors and main ICs on Raspberry Pi 3'. In consequence, RPi 3 B+ and RPi 4 B share the same PoE hat. 'RUN' holes have been moved to left-bottom area of the board in RPi 3 B+. Takashi-sasaki ( talk) 01:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

In the specification table, the memory entry for the first generation A+ and B boards is lumped together as "512 MiB (shared with GPU) as of 4 May 2016". It not clear what the qualification "as of 4 May 2016" is supposed to mean. The B boards had 512 MiB memory at least as early Jan 2013. I tagged the entry for clarification. Kbrose ( talk) 17:59, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
Also memory for Pi 2 is specified inconsistently within the page.
Section Generations says 1GiB (without a citation).
Section RAM says 1GiB with a citation that supports the claim, but it is not clear to me which revision the citation is referring to.
Section Specifications (the big table) says 512MiB (without a citation).
I am not authoritative on this - hence I am not simply correcting the table. The table is unclear because there is a later revision of the Pi 2 (v1.2) in the table but the earlier revision of the Pi 2 in the table does not specify a revision. Sometimes that's the way it works out i.e. manufacturer doesn't plan in advance for revisions, and so maybe there was a Pi 2 without a revision, or that was called v1.0, potentially retrospectively.
There is a Pi 2 (v1.1) and it has 1GiB. I own one.
I suspect the table is incorrect or, at best, incomplete.

I've seen a couple edits made to add the RPi 400 into the article, reverted with the reason that it is basically a raspberry pi 4 but in a different case.

The specification section should be Sorted left to right correctly so that each pi is grouped by main version number and then model A or B instead it has the A models for Pi1, Pi2 and Pi3 in the same section and the B models for Pi1, Pi2 and Pi3 in the same section as each other.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has recently released the Raspberry Pi Pico, which is not related to the Raspberry Pi single board computers (i.e. 0-4). I propose that there is a greater seperation between the two in the article, either by creating two seperate articles or only mentioning the Pico in its own section as it is younger and less popular, and may cause confusion if the two are talked about in the same article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLMGN ( talk • contribs) 17:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
Concur - to clarify, it's Raspberry Pi RP2040, the Microcontroller and its first board, the Pico. Unfair to describe it as less popular, for a module that's only one month old it's selling very well, so not unpopular at all, just new. As an embedded developer I view the Raspberry Pi as a computer & the RP2040 is a Microcontroller, very different product lines, very different applications. Like comparing a Pi to an Arduino. The RPi forum community have started a page for the RP2040 which we can start to add the significant differences between Any Other Microcontroller and the RP2040. As other (significant) vendors release product I suspect the RP2040 page will evolve to be about the Microcontroller and perhaps have a RP2040 boards listings style pages. Nmccloud ( talk) 22:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
Why on earth does the Pi Pico redirect to this page? This is by no means compatible with or a succession in the Raspberry Pi product line other than containing the name of the product. The Pi Pico does not run Raspbian, does not use the same CPU core, lacks the IP connectivity or conventional user IO firmware seen on the Raspberry PI. This is not the same thing as a Raspberry Pi and cannot be assumed to be the same product. This is not a Single Board computer as described in the first line of the wikipedia article. A wikipedia insider that understands this needs to be found so that this can be corrected.
The discontinued column is incorrect to use dates in the future. Raspberry Pi guarantee production until AT LEAST the dates shown, so there is no guarantee that they will go out of production on these dates, and it is in fact quite unlikely if there is still a market for them. The tables as they stand imply that the discontinued date is set in stone, which it is categorically not. Jnahughes ( talk) 15:40, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
The section "Other OS" seems to have no order. If no one objects I would order it by alphabet.
Those sentences also feel "double":
The Raspberry Pi Foundation provides Raspberry Pi OS (formerly called Raspbian), a Debian-based (32-bit) Linux distribution for download, as well as third-party Ubuntu, Windows 10 IoT Core, RISC OS, and LibreELEC (specialised media centre distribution).
and
Third-party operating systems available via the official website include Ubuntu MATE, Windows 10 IoT Core, RISC OS and specialised distributions for the Kodi media centre and classroom management
Maybe they should be summarized in one sentence. In "other OS" we have Xubuntu and Lubuntu, which are also Ubuntu. Maybe we should just mention them alongside Ubuntu (something like "Ubuntu-versions Xubuntu and Lubuntu can also be installed but aren't offically provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation").

The chart of different versions of Raspberry Pis is kind of ridiculous, and goes way off the page. Is it possible that we should split it into the different types of Raspberry Pis? Stevenruidigao ( talk) 01:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Reading the opening section of this article I feel parts reads like an advertisement. Buzzwords like "best-selling" and "more popular than anticipated, selling outside its target market" does not feel like they belong in Wikipedia. I am writing here looking to establish a consensus regarding the issue. Does anyone oppose removing or rewriting the advertorial writing?

The chart of different versions of Raspberry Pis is kind of ridiculous, and goes way off the page. Is it possible that we should split it into the different types of Raspberry Pis? Stevenruidigao ( talk) 01:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Reading the opening section of this article I feel parts reads like an advertisement. Buzzwords like "best-selling" and "more popular than anticipated, selling outside its target market" does not feel like they belong in Wikipedia. I am writing here looking to establish a consensus regarding the issue. Does anyone oppose removing or rewriting the advertorial writing?

@ A Shortfall Of Gravitas: In March 2021 you added a "which" comment to the "Hardware" section regarding the block diagram, noting an issue with where the diagram appears on 4k diaplays. ( Old revision of Raspberry Pi) I've recently attempted to resolve that, but I don't have a 4k display to check if my solution works. Does the edit I've made work for you? – Scyrme ( talk) 23:48, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
I think having separate articles for different Pi models such as Raspberry Pi 3, 4 and 5 make sense, just like how IBM PC models have different pages such as IBM PC XT and IBM PC AT. VectorVoyager ( talk) 13:10, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
