Isithombe esivulelekayo samabhodi we-Raspberry Pi siyatholakala ukuze sihlolwe, ngokusekelwe ku-Debian GNU/Linux futhi sihlinzekwa ngesethi ye-firmware evulekile evela kuphrojekthi ye-LibreRPi. Isithombe sidalwe kusetshenziswa amakhosombe ajwayelekile e-Debian 11 okwakhiwa kwe-armhf futhi sihlukaniswa ngokulethwa kwephakheji ye-librepi-firmware elungiselelwe ngesisekelo se-rpi-open-firmware firmware.
Isimo sokuthuthukiswa kwe-firmware silethwe ezingeni elifanele ukusebenzisa ideskithophu ye-Xfce. Ngendlela yayo yamanje, i-firmware inikeza umshayeli we-v3d we-VideoCore graphics accelerator, ukusheshisa kwe-2D, ividiyo ye-DPI, ividiyo ye-NTSC (okukhiphayo okuyinhlanganisela), i-Ethernet, i-USB host, i-i2c host kanye nekhadi le-SD kumabhodi we-Raspberry Pi 2 kanye ne-Raspberry Pi 3. Izici ezingakasekelwa zifaka ukusheshisa kokukhishwa kwevidiyo, i-CSI, i-SPI, i-ISP, umsindo we-PWM, i-DSI ne-HDMI.
Masikhumbule ukuthi naphezu kokuba khona kwabashayeli abavulekile, ukusebenza kwe-VideoCore IV video accelerator kuqinisekiswa yi-firmware yokuphathelene elayishwe ku-GPU, ehlanganisa ukusebenza okubanzi, isibonelo, ukusekelwa kwe-OpenGL ES kuqaliswa ohlangothini lwe-firmware. Empeleni, ngasohlangothini lwe-GPU, ukufana kwesistimu yokusebenza kwenziwa, futhi umsebenzi wabashayeli abavulekile wehliselwa ekusakazeni izingcingo ku-firmware evaliwe. Ukuze kuqedwe isidingo sokulanda ama-blobs, kusukela ngo-2017 umphakathi ubulokhu uthuthukisa iphrojekthi yokuthuthukisa inguqulo yamahhala ye-firmware, okuhlanganisa nezingxenye zokwenziwa ohlangothini lwe-VC4 GPU.
