## What it is
The official documentation source and build tools for Raspberry Pi computers and microcontrollers, published at raspberrypi.com/documentation. Content is written in AsciiDoc and licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

## Use cases
- learn how to set up a Raspberry Pi
- find Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller guides
- look up camera module documentation
- contribute corrections to Raspberry Pi docs
- build the Raspberry Pi documentation site locally

## When to choose
- you need authoritative setup, configuration, or hardware reference material for Raspberry Pi boards or Pico
- you want to contribute to or reuse official Raspberry Pi documentation

## When to avoid
- you need community tutorials or third-party project guides rather than official hardware documentation
- you are looking for runnable software rather than documentation content

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: documentation, developer-tools, hardware
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: raspberry-pi, asciidoc, microcontrollers, single-board-computers, official-docs
