The Cyber Resilience Act is about to change how every connected product gets built, sold and supported in the EU; and Raspberry Pi is no exception. In this episode, Tom Westcott, Matthew Lear and James Hughes sit down to unpack what the CRA actually requires, who it applies to, and what it means in practice for makers, developers and manufacturers building on Raspberry Pi.

They cover the basics of the legislation like secure-by-design requirements, vulnerability disclosure obligations, and the compliance deadlines heading into 2027 before getting into the part most people actually want to know: how Raspberry Pi helps you to be CRA compliant, and what that means for anyone building products on top of it.

Whether you're shipping a commercial product, running a small business, or just curious about how EU regulation reaches into the maker world, this conversation breaks down the legislation without the legal jargon.

In this episode:

• What the Cyber Resilience Act is and why it exists

• Who's actually in scope (spoiler: it's not just big manufacturers)

• How Raspberry Pi is helping developers meet CRA requirement
• Practical steps you can take now to get ahead of compliance deadlines

What happens when the AI boom meets the world's favourite tiny computer? In this episode, Ken Okolo sits down with Naushir Patuck, Software Engineering Manager at Raspberry Pi, to explore the rise of artificial intelligence and how the company is making an impact in edge AI. Naush explains how the rise in capability and adoption of AI is driven by the convergence of big data, deep learning, and increased computational power, and describes how running AI processing locally, rather than shipping it off to the cloud, can save money, protect privacy, and make sure you keep full control of your data. Ken and Naush walk through Raspberry Pi's growing AI product line, from the AI Camera with its on-board accelerator, to the AI HAT+ for Raspberry Pi 5, right up to the AI HAT+ 2 with on-board memory for running generative AI models locally. Plus, hear how partnerships with companies like Ultralytics, and tight software integration through tools like libcamera, are making it easier than ever for developers to build AI-powered projects.

Could a Raspberry Pi replace your home computer, or even your office PC? In this episode, Ken Okolo sits down with Simon Burgess from Raspberry Pi's commercial team to find out. Simon explains the range of devices available for desktop use, from the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 to the newly announced Raspberry Pi 500 + with its pre-installed hard drive, and shares why organisations from McDonald's in South America to learning centres across the UK are deploying them at scale. Whether you're a home user wanting to browse and learn languages, or a business looking to cut hardware and energy costs, this episode has something for you.

In this episode, Raspberry Pi's Paul Sherry sits down with colleague Chris Boross from the commercial team to explore RP2350;  the company's latest microcontroller and successor to the wildly popular RP2040.

Chris walks through why Raspberry Pi first got into the microcontroller business, how feedback from millions of RP2040 customers shaped the design of 2350, and what makes it such a compelling chip for everyone from hobbyists to industrial engineers.
