Braben has developed a tiny USB stick PC that has a HDMI port in one end and a USB port on the other. You plug it into a HDMI socket and then connect a keyboard via the USB port giving you a fully functioning machine running a version of Linux. The cost? $25.
The hardware being offered is no slouch either. It uses a 700MHz ARM11 processor coupled with 128MB of RAM and runs OpenGL ES 2.0 allowing for decent graphics performance with 1080p output confirmed. Storage is catered for by an SD card slot. It also looks as though modules can be attached such as the 12MP camera seen in the image above.
游戲開發(fā)者 David Braben 弄出來的這種名為Raspberry Pi (覆盆子 π)的電腦,雖然價格便宜,體積也只有一個U盤那么大,但是它簡約而不簡單,麻雀雖小五臟俱全:
處理器使用700MHz ARM11處理器,內(nèi)存128MB
利用OpenGL ES 2.0進行圖像處理,能夠通過HDMI接口,輸出解析度為1080P (1920×1080)的圖像
另外還有擴展儲存卡槽,可以通過插卡的方式擴充電腦的儲存空間
能安裝攝像頭
這電腦上安裝的操作系統(tǒng)當然不可能是瘟到死了,Linux才是適合它的菜。
如果這種大家都能買得起的電腦真進入大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)了,將會對電腦知識教育產(chǎn)生巨大的推進作用。總之,人人都用得起電腦的時代真的已經(jīng)不遠了!
