Introduction
After receiving your irst Raspberry Pi, the irst question in your mind is probably “What
can this hardware do?” What are its capabilities and limitations? Hardware is the more
urgent question because software is so easily altered or replaced.
he one perplexing problem I immediately ran up against when I started out with the
Pi was that the hardware information seemed to be scattered. he basic information was
accessible and well known, but other important parameters such as GPIO source or sink
current limits required research. After researching these questions, I often discovered that
the answer was “It depends.” It was the answering of these classes of questions that led to
the writing of
Mastering the Raspberry Pi.
Content of This Book
his book is focused mainly on the Raspberry Pi’s hardware. he content is extracted from
the complete work,
Mastering the Raspberry Pi.
As such, it will serve you as an owner’s
manual of sorts, saving time as a ready reference about the hardware you purchased.
While this is a volume focused on hardware, some software coverage must coexist.
For example, it is through the physical memory management that software gains access
to the hardware peripheral registers. Another example is the discussion about the CPU,
where the pthread API is covered for reference purposes. hrough the application of this
API, you further utilize that ARM CPU.
his book begins by introducing the Pi in general terms in Chapter 1. hen attention
immediately turns to the important topic of power in Chapter 2. Many people sufer
needless problems because of neglect in this area. he chapter ends with some notes
about running from battery or solar power.
Chapter 3 documents the header strips, LEDs, and Reset inputs. his is information
that should be bookmarked. Next is Chapter 4 on memory, which documents the various
Raspbian Linux measures and controls for memory allocation. he CPU and its API are
described in Chapter 5.
he focus of Chapter 6 is USB. USB-speciic power issues and its API are explained.
Wired and wireless Ethernet networking is discussed in Chapter 7. SD card technology
is examined in Chapter 8, describing the interface and the speciics of the Raspberry Pi
interface. he topic of wear leveling is also included.
Serial communication, RS-232 converters, serial consoles, and dedicated serial ports
are covered in Chapter 9. he serial interface, some historical inluences, and low control
are discussed. Included is an organized description of the Linux API for utilizing the serial
interface.
