Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Development Kit
This Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Development Kit features both compute modules which fit in DDR2-SODIMM sockets for embedded use. In this kit you will get 2 compute modules, CM3 and CM3L, as well as the IO Board, camera display adapter, Raspberry Pi 5V 2.5A power supply, Micro USB cable and jumper wires.
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 and Compute Module 3 Lite have the form factor of a DDR2-SODIMM RAM board and have extra IO interfaces over and above what is available on the standard Raspberry Pi models. This Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Development Kit contains what you need to start building embedded Raspberry Pi products for mass production.
Includes:
- Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 (CM3)
- Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Lite (CM3L)
- Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO Board
- Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO Board Camera Display Adaptor
- Official Raspberry Pi 5V 2.5A Power Supply
- USB A to micro B Cable
- 4x Jumper Wires
Features:
- CM3 contains a BCM2837 processor (as used on the Raspberry Pi 3), 1GB LPDDR2 RAM and 4GB eMMC Flash
- CM3L is the same as CM3 except the eMMC Flash is depopulated leaving the interface pins available for the user to connect their own SD/eMMC device
- The accompanying IO Board is a simple, open-source breakout board that you can plug a Compute Module into
- The board hosts 120 GPIO pins, an HDMI port, a USB port, two camera ports and two display ports.
- The BCM2837 processor is an evolution of the BCM2835 processor that can address more RAM (up to 1GB) and the ARM CPU complex has been upgraded from a single core ARM11 in BCM2835 to a Quad core Cortex A53 with dedicated 512Kbyte L2 cache. All IO interfaces and peripherals stay the same and hence the two chips are largely software and hardware compatible.
