Learning Computer Architecture with Raspberry Pi (Wiley)
Monday, 28 November 2016

This guide, co-authored by Eben Upton the designer of the Raspberry Pi, helps you understand the components of this innovative and widely used computer, showing how it works and how to access all of its hardware and software capabilities. It explains what each and every hardware component does, how they relate to one another, and how they correspond to the components of other computing systems.

 

 

It also explains how programming works and how the operating system relates to the Raspberry Pi′s physical components.

Accessible both economically and technically, the Raspberry Pi is the ideal vehicle for learning how computers work, and this book provides guidance for the journey, as well as being a coach for developing a knowledge base that translates well beyond the Pi itself, through to the technology behind all computers, based on the mechanics behind the credit card–sized computer.
