Product Review
- The CM3+/Lite Compute Module contains the guts of a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (the BCM2837 processor and 1GB RAM). It's the lite version without onboard eMMC Flash.
- This is all integrated onto a small (67.6mm × 31mm) board that fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMM connector. The processor interfaces are available to the user via the connector pins.
- You get the full flexibility of the BCM2837 SoC (which means that many more GPIOs and interfaces are available than with a standard Raspberry Pi), and designing the Module into a custom system should be relatively straightforward because the Pi Foundation has put all the tricky bits onto the Module itself.
- Broadcom BCM2837B0:Cortex-A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.2GHz. Brings the SD card interface to the Module pins so a user can wire this up to an eMMC or SD card
- Compared to CM1, the CM3+ supports more OS, like Windows 10 (the free IOT-specific version from Microsoft)
