Sparkfun Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ Lite

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ Lite packs the powerful BCM2837 processor and 1GB LPDDR2 RAM, offering the core capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ in a compact form. With additional IO interfaces, this module provides designers with expanded options for custom systems and form factors. The board, measuring 67.6mm by 31mm, fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMM connector, making integration seamless. It offers the full flexibility of the BCM2837 SoC, with more GPIOs and interfaces than standard Raspberry Pi models, simplifying the design process by incorporating all complex components onto the module itself.

This module is ideal for custom projects where space and flexibility are paramount. Its compact size allows it to be integrated into a variety of applications, from industrial automation systems to compact robotics projects. The additional IO interfaces open up possibilities for connecting a wide range of peripherals, enhancing the functionality of your custom designs.

One of the standout features is the absence of onboard eMMC Flash, offering users the freedom to connect their own SD or eMMC devices via the available interface pins. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for projects requiring specific storage solutions or configurations.

The Compute Module 3+ Lite is designed to be compatible with a software/firmware image dated November 2018 or newer, ensuring that it operates smoothly with the latest advancements and updates in the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. This ensures that your projects benefit from ongoing improvements and innovations in the Raspberry Pi community.
