NEW Raspberry Pi OS update (May 2020)

The operating system of 64-bit beta OS for Raspberry Pi Desktop was also updated with the release of new Raspberry Pi 4 8GB.

At Seeed, we offer lots of add-on for Raspberry Pi. All those hats, displays, cases, power suppliers, and other accessories will give the Raspberry Pi more features and possibilities. For Pi 4, we especially recommend the Grove Base Hat for Raspberry Pi, which links the Raspberry Pi to our Grove system, so you can easily use most of the Grove modules with your Raspberry Pi 4. Since the new pi changes the full HDMI interface into two micro HDMI ports, so you may need this Micro HDMI to HDMI Adapter to work with your HDMI display.
