The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Starter Kits are designed to simplify initial setup and development. It includes a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 2GB or 4GB of RAM, a USB-C power supply, a 32GB microSD card, and a 2 metre HDMI cable. The microSD card is supplied blank, allowing users to install an operating system of their choice based on project requirements.
The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B represents a major advancement over the previous generation, offering significantly improved processor speed, multimedia capabilities, memory bandwidth, and connectivity, while maintaining backward compatibility and similar power consumption. It is powered by a Broadcom BCM2711 64-bit quad-core processor and supports dual 4Kp60 display output via micro-HDMI. The board includes hardware video decoding for high-resolution media, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports, and optional Power over Ethernet support via a separate PoE HAT.
Wireless LAN and Bluetooth modules are certified under modular compliance, which reduces the regulatory burden when integrating the board into commercial products. This certification streamlines product development by lowering compliance testing requirements, saving both time and cost. The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B delivers desktop-class performance comparable to entry-level x86 systems, making it suitable for a wide range of engineering and embedded applications.
