If you have picked up a new Raspberry Pi 400 personal computer system, you maybe interested to know the official Raspberry Pi Foundation has this week featured plenty of projects and guides to get you up and running. The Raspberry Pi 400 PC is powered by a quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback, as well as a 40-pin GPIO header, Raspberry Pi 400 is a powerful, easy-to-use computer built into a neat and portable keyboard.
“The Raspberry Pi community is buzzing with the new Raspberry Pi 400. This powerful all-in-one computer is packed with a 1.8GHz ARM processor inside an official Raspberry Pi keyboard with the GPIO pins positioned on the rear. It’s an ultra modern work machine, powerful coding and development tool, and a handy electronics workstation for a myriad of projects.”
The website section serves as a hub providing all the guidance and information that businesses deploying Raspberry Pi devices, or aspiring to do so, should need. It includes advice for using the single-board computer across business deployments, including links to datasheets, all the required compliance documentation, and software.
“The industrial market for Raspberry Pi has grown over the years, and now represents around 44% of our annual total sales,” said the Raspberry Pi Foundation s principal hardware engineer, Roger Thornton.
“We’ve seen this borne out with new releases of Raspberry Pi products: typically sales of a consumer product drop off once a new product is released, but we still see incredible sales of older models of Raspberry Pi. Our inference is that these are destined for embedded applications, where changing to the latest model is not practical.”

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has decided to offer more support for industrial customers by creating a program that offers them help to build Pis into products.
The new “Design Partners program” is open to companies “with specialist knowledge and proven expertise in designing with Raspberry Pi.” By appointing such partners, and offering to connect them with organisations contemplating Pi-based products, the Foundation hopes to create more roles for its computers.
