Overview

Since the Raspberry Pi Foundation released the Compute Module 3 Lite, you may have been watching it for so

time, don't know how to get started. Now it's time to get moving. We prepare this development kit for you to

evaluate the Compute Module 3 Lite quickly, reducing your development cycle.

The key parts in this Compute Module 3 Lite development kit includes:

Compute Module 3 Lite: Raspberry Pi 3 industrial version, the Pi in a flexible form factor, without eMMC F

onboard, instead, a 16GB Micro SD Card is included

Compute Module IO Board Plus: Extend kinds of interfaces from CM3, such as USB, HDMI, just like the

regular Pi, to help evaluating

CM3/CM3L Features

BCM2837

64-bit 1.2GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor
