Description of ๐Ÿ”ง Waveshare Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board: An Efficient Development Platform and Reference Base-Board Design for CM4 Without WiFi

The Compute Module 4 IO Board is a companion board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (supplied separately). It is designed for use both as a development system for Compute Module 4 and as an embedded board integrated into end products. The IO board is designed to allow you to create systems quickly using off-theshelf parts such as HATs and PCIe cards, which might include NVMe, SATA, networking, or USB. The major user connectors are located along one side to make enclosures simple. Compute Module 4 IO Board also provides an excellent way to prototype systems using the Compute Module 4.

This is way worse than the CM3 I/O boards! Use a third-party theme.

Raspberry Pi I/O board for CM4 is a piece of junk. Three of these boards have died out of nowhere and once an $80 module fell out with them. Build quality is abysmal - on two different boards I caused the Pi to shut down unintentionally just by bumping into the fan header!

Pros
  • The I/O board allows you to quickly build systems using off-the-shelf components such as HATs and PCIe cards that can contain NVMe, SATA, network or USB devices.
Cons
  • No Instructions

Raspberry Bad Reference Design

This is not a problem caused by Waveshare. You create a reference design product. I have to wonder why Raspberry used USB 2.0 in the I/O board design. Talk about product damage. Theoretically, the maximum speed is 53 MB/s when using USB 2.0. The computing module is based on a 4-core ARM processor, the performance of which is more than sufficient to transfer several hundred megabytes per second over each channel.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Repair
