Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Development Kit

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.
• Peripherals:

  48x GPIO
  2x I2C
  2x SPI
  2x UART
  2x SD/SDIO
  1x HDMI 1.3a
  1x USB2 HOST/OTG
  1x DPI (Parallel RGB Display)
  1x NAND interface (SMI)
  1x 4-lane CSI Camera Interface (up to 1Gbps per lane)
