Raspberry Pi (Linux)

The Linux Raspberry Pi family boots a complete Raspberry Pi OS in the cloud and hands you the terminal — these aren’t microcontroller sims, but full computers.

Board	CPU profile
Raspberry Pi Zero / 1 / 2	ARM Cortex-A7 class
Raspberry Pi 3	Cortex-A53
Raspberry Pi 4	Cortex-A72
Raspberry Pi 5	Cortex-A76

All Pi boards are Pro — see plans.

How it works

1. Place the Pi, press Start — the WebSocket console attaches in about a second, then Linux boots (expect 30-60 s to a shell; a “Booting…” overlay tracks it).
2. You land in a real shell: python3, pip, ls /sys/class/gpio — a genuine userland.
3. GPIO is wired to the canvas: drive an LED from gpiozero, read a button, talk I2C/SPI to the components you placed — the protocol shims bridge the Linux GPIO to the simulated circuit.
4. A virtual file system panel uploads your scripts and files into the running Pi.

from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep

led = LED(17)
while True:
    led.toggle()
    sleep(0.5)

The UNIHIKER M10

DFRobot’s education SBC (a Linux board with a built-in touchscreen) runs on the same infrastructure and is also a Pro board — find it in the picker next to the Pi family.
