Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4

New, more compact form factor

Compute Module 4 introduces a brand new form factor and a compatibility break with earlier Compute Modules. Where previous modules adopted the JEDEC DDR2 SODIMM mechanical standard, with I/O signals on an edge connector, we now bring I/O signals to two high-density perpendicular connectors (one for power and low-speed interfaces, and one for high-speed interfaces).

This significantly reduces the overall footprint of the module on its carrier board, letting you achieve smaller form factors for your products.

Compute Module 4 IO Board

To help you get started with Compute Module 4, we are also launching an updated IO Board. Like the IO boards for earlier Compute Module products, this breaks out all the interfaces from the Compute Module to standard connectors, providing a ready-made development platform and a starting point for your own designs.

Compliance

Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 has undergone extensive compliance testing and meets the standards required in many countries. You can find all compliance information and regional certificates at raspberrypi.org/compliance.

If you are integrating Compute Module 4 into a product and need assistance with compliance, the Raspberry Pi Integrator Program can help: more information and contact details here.

FAQ – Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4)

1. What are the main specifications of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4?
The Raspberry Pi CM4 features a Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit processor at 1.5GHz, with memory options ranging from 1GB to 8GB LPDDR4 RAM. It supports eMMC storage options (0–32GB) and dual HDMI, PCIe, USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, enabling flexible embedded system design.

2. How does the CM4 differ from the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B?
Unlike the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, the CM4 is designed for industrial and OEM integration. It uses board-to-board connectors instead of standard I/O ports, allowing direct embedding into custom carrier boards for optimized form factors and connectivity.

3. What are the main applications of the Raspberry Pi CM4?
The CM4 is ideal for UAV companion computing, industrial control systems, IoT gateways, AI edge devices, autonomous robotics, and smart vision systems. Its modular design supports both production deployment and prototyping environments.

4. What payment methods are accepted for purchasing the Raspberry Pi CM4?
Motionew accepts credit/debit cards, PayPal, and wire transfers. For corporate or bulk purchases, proforma invoicing can be arranged for direct bank payments.

5. Is OEM customization available for the CM4 module?
Yes. Motionew provides OEM customization, including custom carrier board design, pre-installed OS images, and hardware configuration (RAM/eMMC selection). Contact the sales team for MOQ and lead time information.

6. Are datasheets and documentation available for the CM4?
Yes. Motionew provides datasheets, hardware design guides, pinout diagrams, and carrier board documentation. Additional technical support is available for product integration and firmware setup.
