The Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO Board V3 serves as a motherboard for the Compute Module 3 and Compute Module 3 Lite, offering a compact and versatile platform for industrial and commercial applications. It features a Broadcom BCM2837 SoC with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz and 1GB of RAM. The Compute Module 3 (CM3) includes 4GB of eMMC flash storage, while the Compute Module 3 Lite (CM3L) allows for off-board storage implementation. This board provides a stable and mature platform, a micro form factor, and all necessary supporting circuitry onboard. It offers extensive peripheral connectivity, including GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, HDMI, USB, and camera/display interfaces.

 

Features:

• A stable and mature platform
• Micro form-factor (31mm x 67.6mm x 3.7mm)
• All supporting circuitry provided
• Extensive peripheral connectivity
• Two options: CM3 (with 4GB eMMC) and CM3L (no onboard storage)
• Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 IO Board for development and connectivity

 

Specifications:

• Broadcom BCM2837 SoC
• Quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz
• 1GB of RAM
• Compute Module 3 (CM3) with 4GB eMMC flash storage or Compute Module 3 Lite (CM3L) without onboard storage
• Compact form-factor (30mm x 67.6mm x 3.7mm for CM3)
