Raspberry Pi 5: Hardware Upgrades

Launched in 2012 by the University of Cambridge, Raspberry Pi is a widely acclaimed microcomputer known for its affordability, modular design, and extensive expandability. Built on a Linux-based system, it supports multiple programming languages such as Python and C/C++, while its GPIO interface enables seamless integration with sensors, cameras, and other peripherals. Raspberry Pi is widely used in education, IoT, smart home applications, and prototype development, earning it the reputation of being a "maker's best tool."

The latest Raspberry Pi 5 introduces comprehensive upgrades over its predecessor:

● Performance Boost: Equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor (2.4GHz), delivering 2-3x the overall performance of Raspberry Pi 4.

● Expanded Memory & High-Speed Storage: Available in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB variants, featuring PCIe 2.0 support for high-speed peripheral expansion.

● Optimized Connectivity: Added USB 3.0 ports and HDMI 2.1, supporting dual 4Kp60 output, with Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0/BLE.

Seamless Adaptation with openKylin 2.0 SP1

Following multiple rounds of rigorous testing and validation, openKylin 2.0 SP1 has achieved deep compatibility with Raspberry Pi 5. The system runs smoothly with full hardware integration, ensuring an optimal user experience. Moreover, this version supports running the DeepSeek-R1 1.5B model, efficiently handling various AI computational tasks.
