RS Components announced the latest version of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, based on the Raspberry Pi 3 architecture. Designed for professional engineers to develop embedded systems, the new Raspberry Pi 3 Compute Module (CM3) fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMM socket and provides the same basic processing capabilities as the Raspberry Pi 3.
In common with the Raspberry Pi 3, CM3 incorporates a 64-bit Broadcom BCM2837 application processor, built around an ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor running at up to 1,2 GHz, and 1 GB of LPDDR2 RAM. It provides 4 GB of onboard eMMC Flash storage, and retains an identical pin-out to the original Compute Module (CM1).
In addition, RS is stocking the new low-cost Raspberry Pi 3 Compute Module Lite (CM3L). This includes the BCM2837 application processor and 1 GB RAM, but has no onboard Flash storage. Developers can provide an eMMC device or SD card socket on their application-specific base board.
Like its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 3 Compute Module is designed for integration into industrial-type applications. One example is the range of next-generation large-format displays from NEC. These integrate a socket for an optional Raspberry Pi 3 Compute Module, and are designed for use in brightly lit public spaces such as schools, offices, shops and railway stations.
The Raspberry Pi 3 Compute Module can also be purchased from RS as part of a development kit, bundled together with the Compute Module IO Board. This simple, open-source development board brings out all of the I/O connectivity of CM1, CM3 or CM3L to pin headers and flexi connectors, and allows the developer to program onboard eMMC Flash over USB. It serves as a prototyping platform, and as a starting point for the development of application-specific base boards.
