== Embedded Platforms/Systems Overview ==

=== Raspberry Pi ===
A small low-cost computer the size of a credit card. A Raspberry Pi can be a desktop computer, robotics controller, server, game controller, etc. The Raspberry Pi is an excellent tool for many projects, from basic learning to advanced projects.

==== Pros ====
* Affordable
* Versatile operating system
* Very active community
* Easy to learn
* Flexible
* User Imagination

The Raspberry Pi stands out as a cost-effective solution. This makes it an excellent choice for hobbyists, educators, and professionals alike. Its versatility is its key strength, as it can be used for a wide range of applications. The Raspberry Pi community is also another major advantage. A wealth of resources, tutorials, and forums make troubleshooting straightforward.

==== Cons ====
* Limited power
* Limited processing power
* Limited RAM
* Limited Storage

Raspberry Pi comes with certain limitations. One of those is their limited power, which can restrict its ability to perform demanding tasks or multiple peripherals. Raspberry Pi also relies on external storage which offers slower speed and limited capacity. Although it is compatible with many open-source applications, some software may not be optimized or supported for the Raspberry Pi.
