Raspberry Pi (/paɪ/) is a series of small single-board computers (SBCs) developed in the United Kingdom. The original Raspberry Pi computer was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in association with Broadcom; since 2012 all Raspberry Pi products have been developed by Raspberry Pi Ltd, which began as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Foundation.

The Raspberry Pi project originally leaned toward the promotion of teaching basic computer science in schools.[3][4][5] The original model became more popular than anticipated,[6] selling outside its target market for diverse uses such as robotics, home automation, industrial automation, and by computer and electronic hobbyists, because of its low cost, modularity, open design, and its adoption of the HDMI and USB standards.

The Raspberry Pi became the best-selling British computer in 2015, when it surpassed the ZX Spectrum in unit sales.[7]
