The Raspberry Pi is a series of credit card–sized single-board computers developed in England, United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intent to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools and developing countries. Today, RPi is considered as world's smallest and cheapest computer which is now most popular hardware used to design IoT based applications.
The
Foundation provides Debian and Arch Linux ARM distributions for
download, and promotes Python as the main programming language, with
support for BBC BASIC, C, C++, Java, Perl, Ruby, Squeak Smalltalk and
more also available. [Wikepedia]
