Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Released

Post by Agis » Mon Jan 16, 2017 6:34 am

Here is another stripped down board which is significantly faster than the Pi Zero (but around 30 USD). It has a cpu running at 1.2 ghz and 1 gig of ram. I bet users could make some really cool PCB's to work with this. Link to announcement

The compute module has been available for a while (but not in RPi 3 variant) and it's coolest feature is that a lot more of the BCM GPIO's are available. on a A/B platform, the 40 pin header has about 30 usable GPIO functions and if you want certain ones you have to map them onto the available pins at the loss of something else. with the CM you have access to it all

the downside is that you need a carrier board with a SODIMM RAM style socket so only really useful if you're designing your own PCB...

(something I'm seriously considering!)

Let me ask if im right,
When i dont have this carrier board the CM3 wont work standalone like the pi0 on a gbz? or is this carrier board optional?
I think about to order this cm3 and put it on my gbz with helders board. But when i need this carrier board i wait for the Pi3 Variant A what is prestipped.

When i saw the compute module a gb0 is the first thing that came to mind, after reading the datasheet though it seems like it would just be better to stick to a pi 3 or 0.

Specifically this board needs a 5v, 3.3v, 1.8v and a clean 2.8v if you use tv out. Although that might be workable I doubt it would be more convenient than a pi 3.

I wish they'd hurry up with that. it was announced when the 3 came out and there has been nothing since

heh. Imagine an AIO board for the GBA with a head for this? that would be straight dope.

Usually known as model A. They are only the width of a zero but with full depth. They omit 3 out of the 4 USB ports and don't have wired ethernet. The pi 3 A was announced at the release of the regular 3, but since then nothing
