Raspberry Pi Model B revision 2, A

If you bought one of the early 26-pin Raspberry Pis, then it is most likely to be a model B revision 2 board, as shown in Figure B-2. (If you have one of these first editions of the Raspberry Pi, hang on to it; it might be valuable one day.)

Raspberry Pi Model B revision 1

The very first released version of the Raspberry Pi model B (revision 1) has some minor pinout differences to the revision 2 that followed. This is the only version of the Raspberry Pi that is not compatible with later pinouts. The incompatible pins that changed are highlighted in bold in Figure B-3.

Raspberry Pi Pico

Although the Raspberry Pi Pico also has a 40-pin connector, the connections are entirely different, as shown in Figure B-4.
