This carefully curated kit comprises everything needed to transform your Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 into an IoT powerhouse. It includes a Compute Module 4 IoT Router Carrier Board Mini, a durable metal cooling case with a heat sink, a reliable 5V@3A USB power supply (EU standard), and a USB 3.0 to Type-C cable. With these components, the possibilities become virtually endless.
The IoT Router Carrier Board Mini expands your Raspberry Pi CM4 capabilities with two full-speed gigabit network ports when interfaced with a gigabit network card via PCle. This expansion promises superior performance, reduced CPU usage, and enhanced stability for enduring operational tasks, compared to traditional USB network cards. Despite its compact size of 55 x 62mm, the board retains the signature GPIO pin header, inviting connection to a range of actuators, sensors, and even smart cooling fans.
Beyond the network capabilities, there's a USB 2.0 interface ready for linking to mobile hard drives, printers, Wi-Fi modules, and more. So whether it's storing data, expanding network reach, or bridging networks wirelessly, this board offers the flexibility needed. It runs on OpenWRT, providing an open-source router system with simple setup. For versatility, it also supports Raspberry OS, Ubuntu Server, and various other Raspberry Pi systems.
Equipped with the BCM2711 4-core 1.5GHz Cortex-A72, this carrier board leverages extensive Raspberry Pi community support to stand as a robust platform for crafting high-performance gateways, smart routers, and home IoT frameworks. From functioning as a mini-NAS to acting as a wireless network bridge or an LTE internet terminal, the board's powerful processing capabilities set the stage for versatile applications.
It's crucial to handle the CM4 board socket with care. Ensure alignment before pressing into place, and avoid repeated disassembly to maintain component integrity. Confirm the correct installation direction of the CM4 module prior to powering up to ensure smooth operation and longevity of your setup.
