The models that use Broadcom BCM2835, a SoC which embeds ARM1176-S (1-core).
- Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+
- Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+
The model that uses Broadcom BCM2836, a SoC which embeds ARM Cortex-A7 (4-core)- Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
At BC::labs, the articles of Raspberry Pi use Raspberry Pi 2 Model B as a hardware example since it is newer than other models, and its processing speed and power are faster and more powerful than other two models.
To learn how to set up a bootable OS for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, please look at the section of Bootable OS for Raspberry Pi 2.
