Questions tagged [pi-1]

This tag is intended as the antonym for the "pi-2"/"pi-3" tags for questions that are based on the Broadcom BCM 2835 not those units' 2836/2837 devices. This should be used for questions that apply ONLY to the former Processor type but is generic to any RPi type that fits that classification - which can include the pi-zero and the compute module, it also does NOT distinguish between model A and B units!
