After the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B blew our minds, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has released yet another superior version, that’s just as affordable. For the first time in the line of Pi’s, there is a change in form factor. The beautiful Raspberry Pi 4 B Compute Module (CM4) is here, bringing the awesome features and functionality of the full-sized Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2GB, but removing all of the unnecessary peripherals and interfaces. At first, cutting away the various USB ports and other interfaces may seem like a step backwards. However, the full-sized Pi 4 is equipped with specific peripherals that you may not need or missing others you need to add with various Pi HATs. With the Raspberry Pi CM4, Pi Makers have the advantage of an open-ended style to tailor these boards to precisely what your projects may need.
It was only 6 years ago that we saw the first introduction of Raspberry Pi’s compute modules. Since then, the following versions have always used the same basic form factor with limited feature sets. But now, everything changes. With this CM4, your scope for customisation is staggering, especially when paired with its partner in crime, the CM4 IO board; find out more about that spicy union here. With a faster CPU core, more interfacing capabilities, and greater multimedia options of 4K resolution, the Raspberry Pi CM4 rockets a step change in performance. We recommend intermediate and advanced enthusiasts take a serious look at how the CM4 can optimise your next awesome project with computing power that will rival fully sized computers.
Like their full Pi cousins, these CM4 Raspberry Pi boards are available in versions of different memory size and features. This Pi 4 Lite Compute Module features 1GB RAM and 0GB eMMC Flash memory without wireless capabilities.
Small as it is, the CM4 whacks a punch when compared to its predecessors, although it lacks extra peripherals and interfaces. Perfect for handheld projects, the CM4 provides exciting prospects for emulation. The biggest change is what’s missing. Don’t be fooled, this ingenious change is what stands the CM4 apart with extra high-speed interfaces. All the ports you’d usually find on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B are cut off. Instead of using the SO-DIMM connector of the CM3, the CM4 sports two high-density board connectors for you to integrate into the CM4 IO board or any other CM4 Base board. Getting rid of those ports frees up the total board area for a few new sneaky surprises. We can’t wait to share with you the ones we’re most excited about:
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 is a joy for any Maker to really experiment with and have fun seeing your friends drop their jaws at the awesomeness of your projects.
Please Note: This model of the Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module is the 1GB LITE/No Wi-Fi Version, which means it provides 1GB of RAM and does not contain the optional eMMC memory. However, other versions of the Pi CM4 offer various RAM sizes for your convenience. Additionally, we stock CM4 Base Boards for you to build your Pi Project to perfection.

No customer reviews for the moment.
When it comes to producing unique electronics components and modules, there are very few brands that can provide the quality that Waveshare can. Based in the Futian District in Shenzhen, China, Waveshare are experts in developing electronics to a high standard of quality, which have been thoroughly tested to work seamlessly with corresponding development platforms and systems – such as the E-Ink HATs for Raspberry Pi’s.
What we love most about Waveshare is how they are dedicated to providing quality products, and have moved away from the typical “Made in China” stigma – cheap products with cheap parts and components. Instead, Waveshare understand the value of supplying quality products and building sustainable relationships with international resellers and distributors. They know that consistent quality will result in consistent business, and as such they always ensure strict quality control for each and every product that comes out of the manufacturing plant.
We are always excited to peruse through their vast catalogue of exciting new products to find unique modules, components or even entire development boards that are designed with quality in mind. Because we know that every cent that we spend with Waveshare will be well-spent, with each product that order adding real value to our own catalogue of products.
