== Split Raspberry Pi (the single board computer) and <s>Raspberry Pi</s> RP2040 (the microcontroller). == |
|||
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. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TheLMGN|TheLMGN]] ([[User talk:TheLMGN#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheLMGN|contribs]]) 17:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

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.

:Fixed the title of this section. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 23:18, 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 Pi Pico is a lot more like a [https://store.micropython.org/product/PYBv1.1H Pyboard] than it is anything like any previous Raspberry Pi product. And the RP2040 is a part with no software, power, etc. and should be treated completely differently, much as we do with the [[iPhone]] and the [[Apple A14]] or the [[Arduino Uno]] and the [[ATmega328]]. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 19:01, 8 May 2021 (UTC) |

Discontinued dates badly worded
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)
Fixed This has been fixed accordingly. I was confused by this as well and had to do more searching when I found the forums post referencing here. [1] Larcondos (talk) 14:45, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- If someone has an account on the RP forum where this was discussed, could you please post a note that this has been fixed? --Guy Macon (talk) 15:29, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Operating Systems
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").
If someone knows that, we could also mention which of the distros support 64-bit and which don't. --Leo Navis (talk) 16:31, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Alright, so... I did that. I also united the RH and Suse distros just as the Ubuntu ones and exported BSD-based distros as a new category. --Leo Navis (talk) 15:29, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
GFLOPs in Simplified Model B Changelog
What is the source of the GFLOP values in the Simplified Model B Changelog table? I would suggest that this should be cited.
Request edit on 18 October 2021
 | It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Raspberry Pi. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |
- What I think should be changed: Why you "Undid revision 1048664325"? The previous link is for NOOBS (old unsupported), and berryboot (one predefined kernel for every new root image). Only pinn has boot+root copy for every os.
- Why it should be changed: You are misleading new users.
- References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Same as the link in my revision.
