GFLOPs in Simplified Model B Changelog
[edit]What is the source of the GFLOP values in the Simplified Model B Changelog table? I would suggest that this should be cited.
Raspberry Pi Pico in the Comparison Chart
[edit]Should the Raspberry Pi Pico really be compared with the other Raspberry Pis?
The Raspberry Pi Pico is really different from the rest of the Raspberry Pis, and is much more like a microcontroller than the others. I'm not sure if comparing them in the same chart makes sense (and I believe that chart is already too long). Stevenruidigao (talk) 03:24, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Although I feel similarly, unfortunately the people running the Raspberry Pi foundation decided to confusingly name the Pico as a "Raspberry Pi", even though the RP2040 is more technically a microcontroller, while the rest of the Raspberries are more technically general purpose computers. Em3rgent0rdr (talk) 03:44, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- I actually like having it in the list because occasionally I want to decide if a PICO is good enough or even better (because benefits from programmed IO state machines) for a simple task or a ZERO is needed or better (for ethernet and full unix). Was actually signing up today because all Raspi Pi versions table was incomplete for PICO not showing any IO beyond "a UART" - no mentioning of 2nd UART, I2C, SPI, PWM, ADC, PIO and USB1.1 (however dedicated USB2 and USB3 columns exist). Although RP2040 page shows all details, being able to side-by-side compare PICO, ZERO and perhaps even compute module under Raspberry PI would be nice to have.

Additional Operating Systems for Raspberry Pi
[edit]This article omits important information wrt availability of operating systems (OS) for the Raspberry Pi. A cursory read of the article revealed the following omissions:
Real Time Operating Systems: FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and ChibiOS/RT are available and supported for the Raspberry Pi
Debian: Given that Raspberry Pi OS (nee Raspbian) is based on Debian, this is a MAJOR omission. Debian has offered image files suitable for direct transfer to an SD card for some time.
In other words: Users are not limited to using software supplied by Raspberry Pi to operate their hardware. The proprietary nature of the firmware however remains a stumbling block for true "Open Source Computing" .

- There are countless Operating Systems that can be made to run on the Raspberry Pi. However, that's not a threshhold for inclusion. For example, FreeRTOS, has no out-of-the-box option for installing on the RPI. The Pi really isn't a suitable platform for real-time OSes.
- The article already has a section dedicated to available operating systems and provides a long list of them - and it also clearly identifies that Raspbian is based on Debian.
- If you can find secondary sources that suggest that the OSes you've listed are directly installable on the RPI and suitable choices for it, then by all means add them. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 21:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
