The CM0IQ is a highly compact board utilizing the Raspberry Pi CM0 Lite Compute Module. Measuring just 42 × 36 mm, it integrates various interfaces within a 15.1 cm² area, making it ideal for applications with limited space like robotics, IoT devices, and bespoke hardware solutions.
Though smaller than the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (19.5 cm²), the CM0IQ features a full-sized USB-A port, a Micro HDMI port, and 4-lane MIPI CSI and DSI connectors. The designer achieved this compactness by using a 1.27 mm 40-pin GPIO header instead of the typical 2.54 mm version. Additional features include USB Type-C for power, a microSD card slot for storage, 5V solder pads for power input, and four M2 mounting threads.
