FUZIX is an old-school Unix clone that was initially written for the 8-bit Zilog Z80 processor and released by Alan Cox in 2014. At one time one of the most active Linux developers, Cox stepped back from kernel development in 2013. While the initial announcement has been lost in the mists because he made it… The post How to get started with FUZIX on Raspberry Pi Pico appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

One of the harsh lessons we learned last year was that far too many young people still don’t have a computer for learning at home. There has always been a digital divide; the pandemic has just put it centre-stage. The good news is that the cost of solving this problem is now trivial compared to… The post Closing the digital divide with Raspberry Pi computers appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Understanding the Pi Pico Pinout is vital to getting the best out of Pi Pico.
