Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Lite, BCM2711, ARM Cortex-A72, 8GB RAM

Industrial-Grade BCM2711 Core: Powered by a 64-bit quad-core Broadcom BCM2711 processor (Arm Cortex-A72) running at 1.5GHz, delivering high-performance computing in a compact form factor.

Maximum 8GB LPDDR4 Memory: Equipped with 8GB of high-speed LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM with on-die ECC, offering the highest memory capacity in the CM4 family for data-intensive edge computing and multitasking workloads.

Lite Storage Architecture (SD Card / External Storage): Built without onboard eMMC flash, allowing developers to bring their own storage via a MicroSD card socket on a carrier board or external NVMe/PCIe storage.

PCIe & High-Speed Connectivity: Features a PCI Express 2.0 x1 lane alongside Gigabit Ethernet PHY, dual-display 4K HDMI support, dual MIPI CSI camera ports, and MIPI DSI display interfaces.

High-Density Board-to-Board Connectors: Replaces legacy edge connectors with two high-density 100-pin Hirose board-to-board connectors, providing a significantly smaller mechanical footprint and secure baseboard mounting.

PCB Composition: Built on a dense, multi-layer FR4 circuit board engineered for industrial baseboard integration, thermal management, and 24/7 continuous duty cycles.

Docking & Connector Care: Apply balanced, even pressure across both 100-pin Hirose connectors when mating or un-mating from a carrier board to prevent socket pin damage.

Static Handling Precautions: ESD-sensitive bare compute module. Handle strictly by the board's outer fiberglass edges and observe standard anti-static grounding procedures during assembly.

Environmental Limits: Operating temperature range is -20°C to +85°C. Ensure thermal dissipation (heatsink or active cooling) is applied under heavy CPU loads in sealed enclosures.

Top-Tier Memory Pitch: Highlight the 8GB RAM capacity as the ideal choice for developers running heavy containerized applications (Docker/Kubernetes), local AI/ML inference, or database management at the edge.

Lite Model Advantage: Position the "Lite" variant to customers who need flexible storage options, such as custom MicroSD cards, high-speed NVMe SSDs via PCIe, or network-boot (PXE) configurations.

Essential Carrier Board Cross-Sell: Recommend bundling with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board With PoE Feature or third-party CM4 baseboards so users can prototype instantly out of the box.

Industrial & Enterprise Target: Focus messaging on embedded engineers, industrial automation builders, and commercial product designers seeking a customizable, production-ready compute card.
