Raspberry Pi Model B+ Development Kits, Expansion Board DVK512, Various Accessories and Modules
Overview
The Raspberry Pi Model B+ incorporates a number of enhancements and new features. Improved power consumption, increased connectivity and greater IO are among the improvements to this powerful, small and lightweight ARM based computer.
What's New
- More GPIO. The GPIO header has grown to 40 pins, while retaining the same pinout for the first 26 pins as the Model B.
- More USB. We now have 4 USB 2.0 ports, compared to 2 on the Model B, and better hotplug and overcurrent behaviour.
- Micro SD. The old friction-fit SD card socket has been replaced with a much nicer push-push micro SD version.
- Lower power consumption. By replacing linear regulators with switching ones we’ve reduced power consumption by between 0.5W and 1W.
- Better audio. The audio circuit incorporates a dedicated low-noise power supply.
- Neater form factor. We’ve aligned the USB connectors with the board edge, moved composite video onto the 3.5mm jack, and added four squarely-placed mounting holes.
Features
- Broadcom BCM2835 700MHz ARM1176JZFS processor with FPU and Videocore 4 GPU
- 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 24 GFLOPs of general purpose compute and features a bunch of texture filtering and DMA infrastructure
- 512MB RAM
- Boots from Micro SD card, supports Linux distros such as Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux
- 10/100 wired Ethernet
- HDMI output
- USB 2.0 interface x 4
- 4-pole 3.5mm stereo audio jack with composite video output
- Micro SD card slot
- Powered by 5v micro USB
- Camera connector
- 40-pin 2.54mm expansion pinheader
- Dimensions: 85mm x 56mm x 17mm
