Preface

Are you interested in the myriad features of your Raspberry Pi 2? From the hardware to the software, do you wish to understand how you can interact with these features?

Then this is the book for you!

The Raspberry Pi 2 is one of the latest hardware offerings in the Raspberry Pi family. With many new and improved features than previous versions, there is so much more an enthusiast can do.

This book will walk you through how you can get the most out of your device.

You will learn about how to program on the Raspberry Pi using the Assembly language, Python, and C/C++. This will include building a web server in Python and saving data to an SQLite database. Ever wondered what threads are? These are covered here too.

In addition to this, you will explore the various types of GPIO pins and how these can be used to interact with third party microcontrollers and electronic circuits.

The sound and graphics capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 2 are also experimented with through a number of projects. And to expand the Raspberry Pi's storage option, we will also set up an external HDD via USB.

Finally, the book concludes with a project that brings together many of the technologies explained throughout the chapters.

By the time you finish reading this book, you'll have a firm knowledge of the Raspberry Pi 2 and how you can devise your own projects that use its capabilities.

What this book covers

, Introduction to the Raspberry Pi's Architecture and Setup , provides an introduction to the Raspberry Pi and its hardware architecture. We will explore the various hardware components in detail, and this will provide a basis for the programming projects in future chapters. A quick guide to getting Raspbian installed and SSH enabled is also provided.

, Programming on Raspbian , provides an introduction to the programming languages used in this book. An explanation will be provided of which language is used and why. This chapter will also guide you through setting up the tools for Assembler, C/C++, and Python. Three introduction programs will then be walked through to give you the opportunity to test that your setup works.

, Low-Level Development with Assembly Language , explores programming in the Raspbian operating system using the Assembler programming language.

, Multithreaded Applications with C/C++ , having looked at Assembler, we move up the programming hierarchy to C/C++. We learn how to write multithreaded applications and understand their usefulness. Through these applications, we learn more about the multi-core CPU of the Raspberry Pi 2.

, Expanding on Storage Options , offers a guide to expanding the storage options of the Raspberry Pi beyond the SD card.

, Low-Level Graphics Programming , shows you how to interact with the graphics hardware on the Raspberry Pi 2. Here you will learn how to draw to the screen via the frame buffer.
