Отрывок из книги
“CHILDREN TODAY ARE digital natives”, said a man I got talking to at a fireworks party. “I don’t understand why you’re making this thing. My kids know more about setting up our PC than I do.”
I asked him if they could program, to which he replied: “Why would they want to? The computers do all the stuff they need for them already, don’t they? Isn’t that the point?”

There had been discussions at the University Computer Lab about the general state of computer education, and when I left the Lab for a non-academic job in the industry, I noticed that I was seeing the same issues in young job applicants as I’d been seeing at the University. So I got together with my colleagues Dr Rob Mullins and Professor Alan Mycroft (two colleagues from the Computer Lab), Jack Lang (who lectures in entrepreneurship at the University), Pete Lomas (a hardware guru), and David Braben (a Cambridge games industry leading light with an invaluable address book), and over beers (and, in Jack’s case, cheese and wine), we set up the Raspberry Pi Foundation – a little charity with big ideas.
In my new role as a chip architect at Broadcom, a big semiconductor company, I had access to inexpensive but high-performing hardware produced by the company with the intention of being used in what were then very high-end mobile phones – the sort with the HD video and the 14-megapixel cameras. I was amazed by the difference between the chips you could buy for $10 as a small developer, and what you could buy as a cell-phone manufacturer for roughly the same amount of money: general purpose processing, 3D graphics, video, and memory bundled into a single BGA package the size of a fingernail. These microchips consume very little power, and have big capabilities. They are especially good at multimedia, and were already being used by set-top box companies to play high-definition video. A chip like this seemed the obvious next step for the shape the Raspberry Pi was taking, so I worked on taping out a low-cost variant that had an ARM microprocessor on board and could handle the processing grunt we needed.
