Raspberry Pi is a revolutionary Single Board Computer (SBC) that is primarily used by DIY enthusiasts for digital manufacturer projects ranging from a retro gaming machine, weather station, to home automation.
Now, if you dream of having a fully-fledged functional Raspberry Pi device, here is the YARH.IO MKI project which aims to offer a fully hackable and customizable Raspberry Pi based portable device.
YARH.IO MKI: a hackable Linux handheld
YARH.IO is Yesand Aother Raspberry H laptop that combines the best of Raspberry Pi design and 3D printing technology. The device comes with the Raspberry Pi 3B + model with the official operating system, Raspberry Pi OS (formerly called Raspbian).
However, you can also run other operating systems available for Raspberry Pi such as Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Core, and RISC OS.
The 5 inch model has an 800 × 480 HDMI TFT LCD display with a lightweight wireless Bluetooth mini keyboard controller. As YARH.IO is a battery powered device, it also comes with a single removable 5000mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery.
Under the hood, the portable device follows a unique modular design, where the main module includes a Raspberry Pi board, display, power supply, battery, RTC, and GPIO connector with cables.
With a shared USB connector, you can use a Raspberry Pi GPIO connector to add different modules such as LoRa radios, RFID readers / writers, and IR transceivers.
How do I get a YARH.IO MKI device?
The YARH.IO device is fully hackable and customizable, which means that every component needed to build YARH.IO doesn't need custom PCBs and can be easily obtained using a bit of wire soldering.
Therefore, if you want to create the device yourself, check out the list of pieces used for the YARH.IO project.
However, if you are more interested in purchasing a fully functional pre-built device, head over to the official shop. The device costs $ 629.99 (excluding shipping) and is available in multiple colors.
