14 DAY TRIAL // RS Components, one of the retailers that distribute the Raspberry PI Linux powered mini PC, is sending a message to clients which states that the device is undergoing compliance testing.
As some of you might already know, all electronic products must undergo some specific testing which determines the levels of EM radiation and other measurements, in order to make it compliant with the European Union regulations.
The Raspberry PI foundations has informed its customers that testing is indeed performed on the mini PC, but the fact that it's essentially an unfinished product (other regulations apply in this case) and because the retailers have insisted to sell it in this manner due to great demand, it should make the board available in time.
Developers of the Raspberry PI also said that the results of the preliminary test will be available, most probably, this week.
Raspberry Pi relies on an ARM processor with a clock speed of 700 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, an SD card slot and a 5V Micro USB connector that supplies the power. It also features RCA and HDMI ports.
