LattePanda Mu - A Micro x86 Compute Module (N100 CPU, 16GB RAM, 64GB eMMC)

The LattePanda Mu is a compact x86 compute module that packs a punch with its Intel N100 quad-core processor, 16GB LPDDR5 memory, and 64GB of storage. Its small but potent design allows it to outshine many of its competitors in both performance and versatility. With an extensible array of ports, including 3 HDMI/DisplayPort, 8 USB 2.0, and up to 9 PCIe 3.0 lanes, you'll find it easy to tailor the hardware setup to your specific requirements.

Despite its compact dimensions of just 69.6mm x 60mm, the LattePanda Mu doesn’t compromise on capability. Its high performance is attributed to the Intel N100 quad-core processor, boasting a turbo frequency of 3.4GHz. Benchmarked against competitors, it consistently outperforms systems such as the Raspberry Pi 5 and Intel Celeron N5105, making it ideal for a wide array of applications where space-saving and computational power are essential.

The LattePanda Mu provides customizable power efficiency with a processor TDP adjustable from 6W to 35W. This flexibility makes it suitable for varying thermal requirements: operating quietly with passive cooling at 6W, or achieving full-throttle performance with active cooling at 35W. This feature particularly benefits projects that operate in different thermal environments or require varying computational loads.

By exposing a rich set of flexible expansion pins including HDMI/DisplayPort, USB ports, and PCIe lanes, the LattePanda Mu elevates expandability to the next level. It is designed for both standard usage and custom solutions, allowing ease in developing individualized systems that meet precise needs.

Carrier board options further enhance the LattePanda Mu's applications. A lite carrier board facilitates quick development cycles and efficient design validation, whereas the full-function evaluation carrier board supports extensive hardware and software testing by exposing all module pins. These boards render this compute module suitable for a wide range of technological needs, from basic to highly advanced setups.

LattePanda also provides open-source carrier board files, offering a robust foundation for custom designs, and reducing time-to-market for specialized applications. With multi-system support, including Windows 10, Windows 11, and Ubuntu, the module provides the flexibility to work with various software ecosystems, broadening the scope of its usage scenarios.
