Raspberry Pi enthusiasts may be interested in a new modular, touchscreen, pocket sized Raspberry Pi power device created by Seeed Studio in the form of the reTerminal which will soon be available to preorder sometime towards the end of April 2021 priced at $195. The pocket Linux terminal is capable of running the official Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, or custom Linux distributions built with the Yocto Project or buildroot.
“Seeed Studio recommends Qt, Flutter, and Electron frameworks to build user interfaces, and also mentions support for some AI frameworks including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, and Edge Impulse that got support for Raspberry Pi 4 very recently. As you may have noticed from the specifications, reTerminal does not come with a battery and must be powered through a USB-C port. Having said that it’s designed to be modular, and we may soon see a battery module like the company did for Wio Terminal. There are two ways to add expansion modules: through the industrial connector on the back of the device, or the 40-pin GPIO on the side.”
