Product details
This is a special version of the Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2. This version was manufactured under a special license to Egoman Technology Corp to produce and distribute Pis in China and Taiwan.
The most prominent difference between the models is that is manufactured on a red PCB and was intended only to be sold in China and Taiwan. A family member of mine was working there at the time and I made this purchase. If youre looking for a slightly more rare Raspberry pi device, look no further.

What you will need
To use the Raspberry Pi, you will need a few additional things that are not included:
- A 5 V power source with a micro USB connector. We recommend this 5 VDC 1 A wall power adapter and a USB A-to-Micro-B cable.
- An SD card with an operating system on it, which also serves as the main storage for the device.
- Input and output devices, such as a keyboard and monitor.
The Raspberry Pi was designed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in order to provide an affordable platform for experimentation and education in computer programming. The Raspberry Pi can be used for many of the things that a normal desktop PC does, including word-processing, spreadsheets, high-definition video, games, and programming. USB devices such as keyboards and mice can be connected via the boards two USB ports. With its 0.1-spaced GPIO header and small size, the Raspberry Pi also works as a programmable controller in a wide variety of robotics and electronics applications. Over two million Raspberry Pis have been sold, and lots of resources for the Raspberry Pi are available online.
