there's a new grass be polite tell us
about it there is raspberry pi 2 out on
second of every it's a raspberry pi but
it's got a quad core processor it's got
a gigabyte of RAM but in all of the
respective it's just the recipe box it's
got the iOS the same to multimedia the
same and the form factors are saying now
the processors that if I've done what's
the difference do you think the quad
core processors can make I think it's
going to make a big difference to anyone
who wants to do image processing so I
think there are good kind of make every
amenity thing that's the one really
benefit from an the probably benefit
from the extra memory as well the other
thing I guess is that this is something
that's it moves over the line into being
a pc so this really is now a plausible
entry-level pc anything else really
important to the education mission
because it improves the chances that
people actually ever choose to invest
it's machine housed there and children
are going to choose to use this between
as their main computer and then that
means you've got the generation of kids
with a main computer that's very very
hackable which is kind of what we want
at all yeah so what else has changed
apart from the the quad core is that is
there anything else so apart from the
quad core and the additional memory
absolutely pathak so we've been very
very very careful to keep everything
else the same in the bathroom that means
almost tutorials online I can login it's
all of our tutorials are going to work
it means hopefully it's going to be very
smooth transition for people from
raspberry pi bond to rock point does
that mean the software compatibility
absolutely so you obviously this is not
all 37 processor unlike the RP six arm
11 rooms in Taiwan so you need a new
curl in New South Dakota modules so the
SD card image that that we're releasing
house house lotus on this of that and
user lamp exactly the same maybe talk of
it slightly about the different from v6
and v7 for those that might people might
not understand what the differences okay
so all release versions of that
instruction set architecture of
Engineers rv5 was around for very long
time near the bottom last decade but a
lot last decade they've got in our v6 of
the arm 11 process so there are two
number of schemes right listen I'm bring
schemes with versions of the arc
received for cause so the art 11 which
were used in roxbury and raspberry pi 1
was the I think basically the only armed
v6 the only instantiation of the arm 36
arm architecture that was out there
fairly after arm11 arm released another
version architectural 37 and then
subsequently since then released a large
number of processes which sure use the
arm v7 architecture we to the cortex a7
which is but in all other aspects the
the chip that's on this recipe pies that
the same as the silk that was on there
before that's right so with the the salt
which was on roster by one was in PCM 29
35 this is the pcr 2836 remember the
shocking the originality so what sort of
opportunities do you think this this new
thing will open up for me because what
positive use cases you see as being you
know the critical for the increased
performance yeah i think there are there
are use cases there are making use cases
which will really benefit image
processing as big one so robotics we see
people building pieces of piece of
hardware robotic arm where that often
these is either a USB webcam or more
probably the raspberry pi camera
accessory that we have and they won't be
able to crunch through whatever data
comes back from that make decisions
based on that data opencv runs on no
sleep i want my slope runs of raspberry
pi 2 it's an awful lot faster out of the
box everything's going to run in the
multi-core just fine yeah so there was
something quite a lot of things which
will benefit codex in particular opencv
is a good example video codecs a pretty
well paralyzed young people have in
those 10 or 15 years experience now of
getting those sorts of workloads onto
onto multi-core processors so there are
some places where you can see really
spectacular performance improvements now
you can decode really fairly high
resolution video pure liam software on
12 which is nice there are places where
we go and then there's there's general
parallelism the systems and quite a lot
of applications and make XBMC has some
parallel others there that you can
exploit there are places where we going
to have to do some work who does support
on the browser already on quite anything
that's
make it out the door in Simon launched
already done smoke from the browser to
paralyze rendering and image decode
across those called the linux
distribution going to use this rascal
again that's right so we are not moment
planning to move up to be there is
obviously raspbian is a a
community-driven rebuild of the arm v7
hf debian but with the army seven that's
taken out some of the arm 57
instructions disabled there is a
mainline debian RP 7hf we could run my
own Rosman point2 we're not planning to
do that the first instance so we're
going to do a sherbet raspbian and we're
going to over the next three months to
benchmarking exercise to figure out
whether there would be any benefit of
using the main line we'd really prefer
not to because obviously we still have a
lot of us provided we don't all of them
all those rather than four and half a
million raspberry PI's down there we
don't want to ocean all those people and
we don't want the burden of maintaining
a grass be an SD card image now that
Debbie msn cut image so home for what
hoping is will find that there are some
benefits available to us from using RP
Salem in the week and snipers benefits
out so go ship and I'll be so pigs lamb
go shoot an RP settle their baby maybe 5
10 20 other things that if we graph if
that's like going through to grab grab
grab that hopefully we can avoid having
to move to to to upstream so effectively
what you're going to ship initially is a
SD card with two separate kernels on a
v6 turn on a v7 kernel and modules
obviously super fixers yep and all of
the user land applications will be
leased arm v6 can hold a lot of the the
maker community don't really realize
what we're at replies of bones the bc as
a board that said a lot of success they
don't really understand where it came
from originally do you want to talk
about that the educational mission of
the foundation so so roughly parts got
an unusual for a computer company thats
all for naught million computers where
the river charity so we're not for
profit you can see behind me some of the
fruits of the not-for-profit eNOS and we
exist to try and get can spray as a
group of people
you had computers kids and you know I
guess all of a sudden in this office
here yeah to a greater or lesser extent
o our careers and do the things that
happened to us in our lives to the fact
me out and we'll holler if it were kids
and it's group of people who looked
around six seven years ago before and
second missile that will haunt them
there are a group lateral to the jarring
platforms in children's hands are
unlockable tool against consoles no one
ever board games consultant and
accidentally became games you very much
it just it there's no flow for it so
really that's what other points this to
do we exist to make fun Hannibal
hardware kids we want the fun it's
important we don't make piece of art
it's one piece is one of my two is
important because it increases the
amount of fun you can have right here
you can use this go surf the web you can
use this as your that your main computer
nothing the kids like interesting so if
i have something which is funds against
into kids hands once it's in kids hands
it's hackable so they can actually have
those kinds of experiences we have kids
you're moving into the u.s. education
market as well so we the US is obvious
the US esophagus market ah Bobby it's
obvious market we sell surplus money in
the u.s. is reselling workers but as a
charity most of our education systems
Hopetown come today it is important we
going to achieve our mission is
important for us to understand how the
education system works in other
countries in velocity us well the US is
kind of 50 and 50 50 countries around 50
education systems obviously they tend to
cluster I think as is feeling but if you
can go and you make your support
material support California Texas in New
York you that actually Hoover's up a lot
of a lot of other states as well and we
were very close to being in compliance a
lot of other states so we just bring on
total more tellingly hard with rod
magnitude see the start of January this
year's offers North American employee
one of the things that he having a
difference is to it gives a little bit
of insight into how have the u.s.
education system work so we achieve some
of the work that we do here anymore
rather so how do you think that the new
pie is going to further the education
mission how
how is this optimized for education the
new pie obviously runs the educational
software applications we care about
better the old point there as a scratch
for example which is you know the poster
Chancellor we've actually spent lot of
money on the software summit runs much
better on possibly my to do not reply
one ah so I think there are all of those
education things are better than light
in my arm I think more importantly
though its viability as a general
purpose computer gets it into my hands
things and anything that gets rather pi
into more people's hands improves our
chances of accomplishing the mission we
don't want people necessarily buying
raspberry PI's it for a laudable reasons
everyone buying this one's going to
worthy platform to learn to count on you
know won't buy them because they're fun
devices and then discover that their
bathrooms I think there is also the
other mortals like there's the B+ and
there's a plus and there's the computer
from our product line yeah there's like
a whole range so how how does this new
board affect those those products right
so what will be model p plus remain in
production but we think there are
industrial customers who've and I'll
stick with those words that demand for
the being is finally starting to run
down houses all over six months
unfortunately plus and people are
finally start to convert their their
their products across from using p2p
plots so be stays in production for as
long as those demand B+ station
production for the long says demand i
think there will be demand for p plus
released another year a plus our twenty
dollar unit remains that's the anchor
announce the low end anchor there is
this thing is technically rustling by 21
will be there is a rumors room in the
namespace for us we provide a male but
we have no plans this year to do a I
don't think that I think we can afford
this year to do anything particularly
interesting about twenty don't price
point so a plus stays down there
anchoring the lower floors compute
module obviously is starting to take off
now there's no media plan to do a rose
but we could do a roast beef I to you
can be module right now I think they
compete module is is what people want
and we're going to stick with that for a
little while and where do you see this
going in the future that he is do you
see a Raspberry Pi model
three coming along um so where I'm not
going to talk about an ass products
there realizes I've transition I've
transitioned I'm going to say now i'm
looking to around announce products I
mean obviously in the future we might
try and do something but we probably
ought to talk about particularly today
the day we launched on the day the blood
transfer my to I should probably not in
closing that was three years the the
model be sort of stuck around for really
do you see the sticking around for
another three years I think all of the
products will stick around as long as
whenever we introduced the raspberry pi
three that I'm not can talk yeah
whenever we introduce another product I
think we're establishing a tradition
with assault with a solitary exception
of the original of why we don't end of
life we don't end in life stuff as long
as you want button will be right by one
more piece will keep making raspberry
wannabes as long as people want to buy
raspberry pi to some keep mine to be
building our dream items okay thanks for
talking to thank you
you
