The Raspberry Pi compute dev kit is designed for the benefit of embedded systems developers who wish to take advantage of the flexible form factor. Designed for industrial applications to be low cost and with greater expansion possibilities.

The compute module contains the guts of a Raspberry Pi (the BCM2835 processor and 512Mbyte of RAM) as well as a 4Gbyte eMMC Flash device (which is the equivalent of the SD card in the Pi). The accompanying IO Board is a simple, open-source breakout board that you can plug a Compute Module into. The board hosts 120 GPIO pins, an HDMI port, a USB port, two camera ports and two display ports. Designing the module into a custom system should be relatively straightforward as we’ve put all the tricky bits onto the module itself, and you have the freedom to add extra components and place parts exactly where your product needs them.
