Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

The brand NEW Raspberry Pi 2 Model B v 1.2 has landed at Pi Supply! The ultra-low-cost, deck-of-cards sized Linux computer has had yet another makeover, this time the Raspberry Pi Foundation have gone all out! The latest addition to the Pi family, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B takes the platform to a completely new level. Combining a sixfold increase in processing power and a doubling of memory capacity to 1GB with complete backward compatibility with the existing Model B+, Raspberry Pi 2 Model B is the perfect board for professionals and hobbyists alike. Back-Compatibility note: The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B has the same footprint and layout as the previous Model B+ version, so will fit all Model B+ items. Note: It is necessary to update to the latest (October 2016) version of the device firmware and Linux kernel to allow the board to boot up properly.
