Designers using the Raspberry Pi for embedded applications can now go to element14 for the Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit. The Module allows design engineers to use their own interface board that will host the compute module and deliver a smooth experience as they move from prototyping on the Pi through to shipping commercial product in volume.

SODIMM sized (6.5cm by 3cm), the Compute Module contains the BCM2835 chip with 512MB RAM with an on board 4GB eMMC Flash memory for booting the OS.

It also contains a fully functional IO board which supports an extensive GPIO and multiple connectors to help foster rapid prototype development with access to all of the BCM2835 functionality.

Also includes are adapters for camera and display, power supply, USB and four jumper connectors

Claire Doyle, Global Head of Raspberry Pi, element14 said: “We expect the Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit to be adopted by design engineers for industrial applications making the power of Pi accessible to more than just the hobbyist. The development kit industry is exploding and the Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit opens up the features of the Pi to the industrial design community.”
