The development is owned by scientific companies “RainbowSoft” and “Intellect”, residents of the fund “Skolkovo”, the local analogue of Silicon Valley. According to the press service, production is scheduled to begin in October 2022.

What is Repka Pi?

Repka Pi, like its famous UK counterpart Raspberry Pi 3, is designed for a wide range of tasks, primarily as a platform for training in IT specialties. The computer can also be used to interact with various devices through industrial interfaces as an integrated data collection, management, information transfer system.
– Tell the developers.

• The computer is said to have the same dimensions, main interfaces and appearance as the Raspberry Pi 3, but “performs 15-20 percent better”.
• Of course, it is built on parts from Russia and China.
• They do not specify more specifically, but it must probably be one of the Russian processors – “Baikal”, “Elbrus” or “Scythia”, which did not have problems not so long ago.

Therefore, manufacturers of “Ripka” will have to somehow solve this problem with local processor manufacturers or look for an alternative in China.

The creators of Repka Pi emphasize that the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe project accidentally coincided with the restrictions of sanctions, and before that it was developed to teach robotics and programming.
