In addition to announcing collaborations with Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Meta and other industry playersPromoting the application and development of artificial intelligence technology, Arm also announced earlier that it would make a strategic investment in Raspberry Pi.
This investment will see Arm acquire a minority stake in Raspberry Pi and solidify the long-standing partnership between the two parties that dates back to 2008.
Arm is currently strengthening the development of IoT applications. Therefore, the cooperation with Raspberry Pi will accelerate the growth of the IoT market and further expand the possibilities of device-side artificial intelligence computing applications. At the same time, the affordable price and diverse application features of the Raspberry Pi development board will also accelerate the growth of various edge computing services.
“Arm and Raspberry Pi share a common vision: to make computing accessible to everyone by lowering the barriers to innovation, so anyone, anywhere can learn, experience, and create new IoT solutions,” said Paul Williamson, senior vice president and general manager of the IoT Business Unit at Arm. “With the rapid growth of AI applications at the edge and endpoints, platforms built on Arm technology, like Raspberry Pi, are critical because they enable developers to innovate faster and easier, driving global adoption of high-performance IoT devices. This strategic investment further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the developer community and our partnership with Raspberry Pi.”
“Arm technology has always played a core role in the platforms we build, and this investment marks a significant milestone in our long-standing partnership,” said Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi. “As we continue to remove barriers to entry for everyone – from students and tech enthusiasts to professional developers deploying large-scale commercial IoT systems – using Arm technology as the foundation for our current and future products will give us the computing performance, energy efficiency, and vast software ecosystem we need.”
