I-Raspberry Pi ingusayizi wekhadi, isekelwe ku-ARM, i-nanocomputer yebhodi elilodwa.
Kusanda kumenyezelwa lokho Eben Upton, umdidiyeli we-Raspberry Pi kanye ne-CEO yenkampani, muva nje wenze inhlolokhono lapho edingida khona ukushoda kwempahla ethinta isilawuli esincane esidumile kanye nezinhlelo zenkampani.
Kuyena Ngokuyisisekelo ikhuluma ngokuthi inkampani ibe nembi kangakanani nokuthi ibilulama kanjani kancane, okuyinto, ukushoda kwe-Raspberry Pi okwamanje kuthinta yonke imboni, okuyinto edumazayo kunoma ubani ofuna ukuthenga i-Raspberry Pi kulezi zinsuku.
Futhi yileso simo samanje lapho i-Raspberry Pi izithola ikuso Kungase kube nzima kwabaningi. njengoba ukwazi ukuthola i-Raspberry Pi "ngenani elihle", kodwa lesi simo singashintsha.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ngesikhathi senhlolokhono umhlahlandlela wanikezwa ukuthi amakhulu ezinkulungwane zamayunithi e-RPi kulindeleke ukuthi atholakale ngekota yesithathu ka-2023., enamayunithi ezinhlobo ze-RPi Zero, Pi 3, Pi 3B kanye ne-Pi 4, njengoba cishe amakhadi e-RPi ayizigidi ezi-2 ahlelelwe ukuthengiswa ku-Q2023 bese kungakhawulwanga ku-QXNUMX naku-QXNUMX ka-XNUMX.
Lokhu sekuholele ekutheni izindaba zithathwe ngezindlela ezimbili ezahlukene njengoba, ngakolunye uhlangothi, abaningi bakuthathe njengento embi, ngoba i-RPi 5 ilinde isikhathi eside manje futhi iqiniso lokuthi inkampani ayikalulami libonisa ukuthi kuzodingeka silinde omunye unyaka ukuze kube khona inkomba ye-Rpi. 5.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwemali, izindaba ziyinto enhle, njengoba abaningi bebona ukuthi inkampani kufanele iqale ibuyele "ekuzinzeni okuthile" ukuze inikeze umkhiqizo omusha, ngaphandle kokudebeselela ekhona.
“Njengoba kungenzeka ukuthi ubonile, kungaba nzima ukuthenga iyunithi ye-Raspberry Pi esitokweni njengamanje. Isidingo semikhiqizo ye-Raspberry Pi sikhule kakhulu kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2021, futhi izingqinamba zokuhlinzeka zisivimbile ukuthi sihlangabezane naleso sidingo, "kusho u-Upton eposini le-blog elishicilelwe ngo-Ephreli 4, 2022.
Lesi simo sokushoda njengoba abaningi bezokwazi, ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-Covid-19 lokho kunciphise amathuba emisebenzi, izinkinga zezabasebenzi, kanye nokungaqiniseki ngokwezwe, njengezimpi zamazwe ngamazwe e-United States naseShayina, konke okuholele ekushodeni kwe-chip kanye ne-semiconductor.
Mayelana nenhlolokhono, kuyo U-Upton ubalula ukuthi ulindele ukuthumela amabhodi e-RPi ayizigidi ezi-2 ku-trimester yesibili bese ngaphandle kwezinkinga phakathi nekota yesithathu neyesine ka-2023.
“I-Pi 3A+ ibilokhu isohlwini lwamagama oluqhubekayo izinyanga. Izinhlobo ze-Zero kanye ne-Zero 2 kufanele ziqale ukubuya, futhi abathengi kufanele baqale ukubona i-pickup eningi kumamodeli angu-3, 3B+ no-4 ngasekupheleni kwale kota yesibili," esho. Lolu wushintsho oluphawulekayo engxoxweni yakhe yokugcina noGeerling ezinyangeni eziyisikhombisa ezedlule. U-Upton uchaze ukuthi inkampani yakhe ingaphansi kwemikhawulo efanayo yokunikezela njengabanye abakhiqizi bemishini.
Ngesikhathi senhlolokhono, U-Upton uthinte kafushane ngezinhlelo zesikhathi esizayo ngezakhiwo zeRaspberry Pi, RISC-V kanye ne-ARM, ukutshalwa kwezimali kukaSony. Ekugcineni, uveze ukuthi akumele kube ne-Pi 5 ngo-2023, njengoba kubonakala sengathi inkampani ifuna ukunqoba ubunzima obukhona kuqala.
"Ungalindeli i-Pi 5 ngonyaka ozayo [2023]," kusho u-Upton ngoDisemba odlule. Ube esechaza futhi echaza ukuthi u-2023 "unyaka wokululama". Unyaka wokululama usufikile ukusiza i-Raspberry Pi kanye nemboni yezobuchwepheshe ukuthi ilulame ekuhlaseleni okuphindwe kabili kobhubhane kanye nokushoda kwama-chip omhlaba okubangele ukuwohloka komnotho emhlabeni wonke.
U-Upton uthe intukuthelo iqondakala ngokuphelele:
“Lesi yisinqumo esinzima okumele ngisithathe emsebenzini wami okhokhelwayo. Kunzima kakhulu ukunquma, uma ungumuntu othanda ukuzilibazisa njengami, futhi wakhe le nto (i-Raspberry Pi) yabathanda ukuzilibazisa nemfundo, ukubeka phambili imakethe ehlukile (amakhasimende ezimboni). Ngokusho kwabanye abahlaziyi, kubonakala sengathi izibikezelo zika-Upton zilungile kakhulu, futhi abathengi maduze bazobona amabhodi amaningi we-Raspberry Pi esitokweni kubathengisi ababathandayo.
