The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Lite (CM3L) packs the BCM2837 quad-core processor and 1GB RAM from the Raspberry Pi 3 into a compact 67.6mm × 31mm DDR2 SODIMM form factor. Designed for industrial applications and custom embedded designs where a standard Pi won't fit.

The Lite version does not include on-module eMMC flash storage or WiFi/Bluetooth — you provide your own SD card or eMMC storage via the carrier board. All BCM2837 processor interfaces are exposed through the SODIMM connector, giving access to many more GPIOs and interfaces than a standard Raspberry Pi.

Key Features

  • BCM2837 Processor – Quad-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A53
  • 1GB RAM – LPDDR2 on-module
  • SODIMM Form Factor – 67.6mm × 31mm, fits standard DDR2 SODIMM connectors
  • Full SoC Access – More GPIOs and interfaces than a standard Pi
  • Lite Version – No eMMC flash, no WiFi/Bluetooth (use your own storage)
