Overview
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-the-shelf 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.
The Compute Module 4 IO Board also provides an excellent way to prototype
systems using Compute Module 4.
