PIMORONI Breakout Garden Mini (I2C + SPI) for Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IoT Router is an internet expansion board based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. The Compute Module 4 IoT Router Carrier Board Mini connects to a gigabit network card via PCIe, providing two full-speed gigabit network ports. This configuration offers better performance, lower CPU usage, and higher stability for long-term use compared to a USB network card. Despite its compact size of 55 x 62mm, the board retains the characteristic GPIO pin header of the Raspberry Pi, making it suitable for connecting actuators, sensors, and a smart cooling fan. Additionally, it includes a USB 2.0 interface for connecting mobile hard drives, printers, WiFi modules, LTE modules, and more.

The Compute Module 4 IoT Router Carrier Board Mini now supports the OpenWRT open-source router system, allowing it to function as a router with a simple setup. It is also compatible with Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu Server, and other Raspberry Pi systems. The powerful BCM2711 4-core 1.5GHz Cortex-A72 processor and extensive software support from the Raspberry Pi community make this board a solid foundation for building high-performance gateways, smart routers, and home IoT platforms. It can also be used as a mini-NAS, wireless network bridge, or LTE Internet terminal. A supporting case will be released soon. Note that the CM4 socket is fragile; ensure correct alignment before pressing it down and avoid repeatedly plugging and unplugging the CM4 module. Always verify the installation direction of the CM4 module before powering up.
