Introducing RP1: The silicon driving Raspberry Pi 5, designed in-house at Raspberry Pi

[@ZDevelopers]

Love listening to Eben. The longer he talks, the deeper his voice gets

[@JeffGeerling]

22:22 hmm, X86 RP1... a new drop-in product we could use to get Pi interfaces on a PC? :)

[@JamesGarner-c5f]

Very interesting to hear how many iterations the silicon as well as the board layout itself went through, the Pi 5's new architecture sounds very nice for future adaptions and a vast improvement over the Pi 4's. I am still using a Pi 2 and a Pi 3 for my little projects (because of the shortages and price hikes) but they still work fine, just a little underpowered by today's standards. But any raspberry pi is alot better than the BBC micros of days past that lots of us learnt about computers on! 🙂 Keep up the great work peeps, onward and upward always!

[@carlospenalver8721]

I’d like to see a project where, since it is the same chip, one can take a pico and build a board that turns a pico into a pi3 or 4 or even a 5. Like schematic and parts needed with the code as a project , now that would be impressive.

[@itopaloglu83]

I love the level of technical discussion and insights into various tradeoffs.

[@gareth4168]

It's great to hear about engineering the RP1 but I'm somewhat surprised it's needed. Most SoCs seem to be getting more and more integrated with little or no ancillary IO silicon required (especially for common functions like SPI, GPIO, Ethernet, etc). It seems seems Broadcom (and RPi) are going in the opposite direction to most SoC vendors - more similar to a PC architecture with a southbridge. I can only assume this approach is driven by Broadcom removing much of the peripheral hardware from their SoCs but it would be interesting to hear how the RPI foundation foresaw the need for the RP1 and what drives the need for a southbridge type design.

[@EnochGitongaKimathi]

I love the growth in the organization.

[@dnj86]

A good discussion on the insides of the development process. Thank you guys for the valuable effort.

[@tuttocrafting]

No mentions about the arm cores in the RPI1? and the PIO block?

[@BalugaWhale37]

I'd love to hear more about the PIO hardware in the RP1. Knowing that they got an x86 platform to run with the RP1 suggests they may offer the RP1 for sale as a separate chip. This was a real deep dive and much appreciated.

[@benargee]

The RP1 has PIO like the RP2040?

[@metroid031993]

From what I've heard, it's pretty much just rp2040 PIO with deeper FIFOs

[@kearneyIT]

I worked with a guy with the same personality (as in towards work) and he would sometimes ask me a question and I knew he was asking/probing/testing my know how. Dont get me wrong I loved working with him, someone to lookup to in the workplace. I bet any money Eben is the same. It must be great to work with someone who KNOWS his stuff and believes in it. I ordered mine, thanks lads.

[@VerilogTutor]

Thanks for capturing your design decisions.

[@kleev6576]

"Analogue television" YESSSSSSSSSS Thanks for that one, Eben Upton!!

[@PenguinTutor]

I'm enjoying these videos. It's interesting to hear about the complexity and the challenges that have gone into designing RP1 and ultimately the Raspberry Pi 5.

[@snowsh1ne]

Really loving these deep dive videos

[@VeryUsMumblings]

So... since the audio jack is gone. Can we get the analog sound out through the GPIO pins (L/R/-ve)? I think many of us still have monitors without audio.

[@sail4life]

I am so jealous of the attention you are paying to the design and development process...

[@LoganE01]

Good job, great product, can't wait to see what people, and devs come up with. I hope availability is better this time around, seems like a very capable, and competent machine. I'm also looking forward to the pico 2, and Zero 3.

[@everything6264]

Can't wait to all this new projects with the Pi5!

[@dataplatter]

“The amount of time you spend talking on small teams is more than linearly better”. Nice

[@shubhankartrivedi]

Congrats to the RPI Engineering Team!

[@nmstoker]

Great stuff. Filled my acronym quota in the first five minutes 😆

[@gregholloway2656]

Thanks for the great discussion. It’s interesting to know more of the details of the design and process. 👍

[@rdwatson]

Thanks for the discussion. Looking forward to trying it out.

[@kanax2424]

Thank you Jason Statham for working on Raspberry Pis😅😂

[@mlaprisephysique]

“This is the raspberrypiness of the raspberry pi packed into a single piece of silicon”

[@potluckcookin]

How does this video have no comments yet? 😂 Thanks for all the info guys. Cheers on the RP5 launch!

[@shaurz]

Now you're teasing us with x86 Pi. Will RP1 be available to buy for other board makers?

[@Huzzahgamers_inc]

I would like to see the rp1 as a PCI-E board for any PC. This would make prototyping really convenient.

[@1funnygame]

What was the thinking around removing the hardware video encoding? Thanks for your work

[@DavidMohring]

So the capability of the RP1 chip is constrained by the space & power constraints of the Raspberry PI 5 form factor? So will the Raspberry Pi organisation be producing a larger form factor such a Mini-ATX mother board that can be dropped into existing PC cases? If not will the Raspberry Pi RP1 be available for third parties to produce the latter?

[@nil0bject]

first? great discussion. keep them coming. suggestion: add text and graphics to the screen that relate to the points you make. it helps us lesser mortals. thankyou

[@SanguineBrah]

Bold move to make an IC the size of a birthday cake.

[@TekVahana]

Well done, gentlemen! Best wishes for continued success!!

[@arghyl]

I cannot wait to get my hands on one! Great work guys!😀

[@MathiasSchindler]

Are you going to make the RP1 available for third parties in bulk for their non-raspi products, similar to how you make the available?

[@joseph9915]

What is RP1 cost? Does it have PIO? Maybe the equivalent of a RP2040 so you could do some GPIO stuff semi independently of the Main processor? And will you sell it separately, so people can put it on a PCI card etc?

[@bern047]

Really enjoyed this talk about the Raspberry silicon thanks to all, no one has mentioned the memory usage, is the Raspberry Pi 5 happy with 4gb to run most applications and what are the main advantages for 8gb? I have ordered 8gb

[@Ziemniaki997]

Super interesting information about RP1 I would love to see some custom solutions with RP1 in PCIe card form factor Will RP1 chip be available for purchase as separate thing?

[@jj_and_the_jaysjays6316]

Cant wait to get my PI 5

[@spicybaguette7706]

So if I'm correct, you could theoretically route VGA out to the GPIO and connect this with, say, a VGA hat?

[@davidpetry7853]

Did I understand this correctly? Would it be possible, to get an RP1 as a PCIe Card to get regular GPIO on any Desktop computer? Also the extra USB would be great. It should be a fairly cheap card, considering the price of the whole Pi 5

[@tristanwait4itlegendary]

Are we gonna get a Raspberry Pi 500 soon? really love a mechanical keyboard if we do get a pi 500

[@platin2148]

Is it actually a possibility todo pin mappings to the gpio’s like changing the bus? I guess not in this silicone? The gpio interface would have been nice from the rp2040..

[@hannescampidell]

it would be cool if they released a pcie card with the rp1 on it

[@digitaleswerken]

The RP 5 is pretty much perfect. The only missing opportunity is that the Ethernet port wasn't upgraded to 2.5G. Because together with an NVME it would make the RP 5 the perfect small home server for everyone.

[@lioralbaz]

Are you plane to sell RP1 separately ? it can very handy on other domains like PC.

[@kaihatkeinenaccount]

How much current can the GPIO pins handle compared to a "old" Pi 4?

[@thk4711]

Is there reason that th RP1 does not have an ADC like the 2040 ? This would have been a good addition for many projects.

[@IamTheHolypumpkin]

Before watching. Yes RP1 Details. I’m way more interested in the RP1 than the Pi5 itself. I still debating to get a Pi5. I still have a ZeroW Pi3 and Pi4 collecting dust as I tend to use microcontrollers for embedded systems stuff. BTW still love the RP2040. I develop on it at work and use many many of it special features.

[@sgtnik4871]

can we add an av1 decoder please?

[@kristiansims]

Very interesting, thanks! It sounds the RP1 design could allow future versions of Raspberry Pi to switch away from Broadcom processors, and possibly even from Arm! Also the thought of a PCIE card with RP1 that could make any Linux PC into a Pi-like machine is exciting! Just saying…

[@SB-qm5wg]

An interesting evolution of the SBC frameworks. I wonder if others follow this idea.

[@madmax2069]

I can only hope for an upgrade board for the RPi 400.

[@lioralbaz]

Is there a stand-alone PCIe card using RP1 ?

[@blakenelson1111]

This is great and awesome I would recommend that you make 1 with 16GB RAM board

[@mueford]

FANTASTIC

[@ttrjw]

"Project Y". Presumably there was a Project X? Following the footsteps of Acorn's Project A and Project B?

[@TheSporadicTraveler]

How many people worked on the in-house silicon and Raspberry Pi 5 in general ?

[@BleughBleugh]

informative, thankyou!

[@stephenvalente3296]

Hoping one day we get a “Pro” Pi product on a board the size of the CM4 I/O product to allow for full size HDMI ports, NVMe slot, etc. as standard.

[@alevans51]

Bravo Gentlemen !

[@wowcolors]

Why was PCIe 2 selected instead of 3?

[@Edwinthebreadwin]

Fascinating

[@ali-mo-dev]

When you have Jason Statham in your team, he should be the one answering questions, not asking! :D

[@jdl3408]

I’d love to see a PCIe card with RP1 on it!

[@MrS-hm2yn]

Really Cool!

[@gorgonbert]

Obligatory Jason Statham comment placeholder 😂

[@sativagirl1885]

Q: can a arm64 device get lots of fast pcie lanes?

[@tristanwait4itlegendary]

Also How many MIPI cameras can i connect to the Pi 5 simultaneously

[@tristanwait4itlegendary]

just imagine the projects you could make with 2 or more cameras

[@wingedrhinotv]

The features on the RP1 make me hoepful that the Raspberry Pi could go UP from a single board computer to a full fledged Mini-ITX motherboard with a SO-DIMM socket and all connectivity options exposed. Users could then swap components, as upgrades become available.

[@BusAlexey]

... first comment? actual comment: what's possible? can you put two of them for 4 USB3 and dual gigabit? How do you fit one on CM5? it's already crammed in there on the compute module. Any plans to retrofit RP1 somewhere? or BCM2712 will be the oldest chip supporting it?

[@Hex_key]

damn the wait is finnaly over

[@akauppi2]

It could now be called Raspberry Si?

[@ytdlgandalf]

I've always liked Jason Statham's accent!

[@Darkknight512]

I saw the RP1 bringup and test board with the PCIe edge connector and I thought, would be pretty funny if someone took that card and put that in a Pine64 RockPro64 or something so you have exactly RPi GPIO and extra USB on a different SBC lol. Honestly, the RP1 as a USB + Ethernet + GPIO controller on an X86 motherboard is pretty interesting.

[@spicybaguette7706]

Maybe if they make the chip separately available, other board vendors will start including it in their board, who knows!

[@JonathanSteadman2003]

I ❤ raspberry pi.

[@JvMapote]

Very Nice

[@ChrisJackson-js8rd]

i never knew jason statham was so into rpi :P

[@alienmoonstalker]

Came here for Jason Statham; was not disappointed.

[@akauppi2]

Like number 286. #nostalgia

[@duckyblenderold]

nice

[@ifross]

jason statham sounds posher than i remember

[@ClayTheFoxx]

PiBook with the Pi1 CPU when?)

[@honorbean2973]

The guy interviewing should just interview himself since he seems to know everything.

[@GustavoMsTrashCan]

For some reason he reminds me of batman.

[@vizionthing]

Shoulda called it the RPVIA

[@RocketLR]

1:29 Why am I watching Jason Statham talk about RPis? 🤔

[@yamspaine]

Jason Statham knows the internals of pi5?

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Would have been interesting if they forgot to take the FPGA off the board and invented Pi MiSTer 😅

[@stephan4932]

is this Jason Statham interviewing?
