Matrix and Raspberry Pi

This is something I should have written many moons ago.

Copies from their web sites.

I won't quote the prizes since I have no commercial interests.

I am waiting to order one by mail but my worry is Voltage specification and converter for our country.

Description:

This is a hot topic in Linux magazines and there is a Magazine for Raspbery Pi.

Rasberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn how computers work, how to manipulate the electronic world around them, and how to program.

Matrix

Matrix is a single board mini computer based on ARM with a wide range of interface, equipped with a powerful i.MX6
Freescale processor, it can run Android, Linux and other operating systems, a switch between different operating

software such as XBMC, VDR, Tvheadend, DVBLast and so on.
