Compute Module IO Board
Overview An open-source breakout board that you can plug a Raspberry Pi Compute Module into. Provides a starting template for those who want to design with the Compute Module, and a quick way to start experimenting with the hardware and building and testing a system before going fabricating a custom board. Provides: Power to the module. […]
.Compute Module Overview
Hardware In simple terms the RPi Compute Module is a Raspberry Pi Model A without PSU etc circuitry, connectors and with a 4GB Flash IC instead of the SD card socket. On the PCB: BCM2835 processor with 512Mbyte of RAM (as used on the Raspberry Pi) 4Gbyte eMMC Flash IC, instead of the SD card used on […]
