Introduction
The LattePanda Mu is a compact x86 compute module powered by an Intel N100 quad-core processor, 8GB LPDDR5 memory, and 64GB storage. Designed for flexibility, it features extensive connectivity options, including 3 HDMI/DisplayPort outputs, 8 USB 2.0 ports, up to 4 USB 3.2 ports, and 9 PCIe 3.0 lanes. With open-source carrier board files, users can easily design custom carrier boards to meet their specific needs.
Key Features
Powerful Performance in a Compact Form
The Intel N100 quad-core processor (up to 3.4GHz turbo) delivers robust performance for multitasking and demanding applications. Scoring 3115 (multi-core) and 1217 (single-core) on Geekbench 6, it outperforms the Raspberry Pi 5, Intel Celeron N5105, and Atom x5-Z8350, offering twice the CPU performance of the Raspberry Pi 5.
Card-Sized, Space-Efficient Design
Despite its small footprint (69.6mm × 60mm), the LattePanda Mu delivers powerful computing capabilities, making it ideal for integration into compact, space-constrained devices.
Adjustable Performance & Power Efficiency
The configurable TDP (6W to 35W) offers flexibility in power consumption and cooling:
- 6W mode: Efficient operation with minimal heat, supporting passive cooling.
- 35W mode: Maximized performance, requiring active cooling.
Extensive Expansion Options
LattePanda Mu exposes a rich set of expansion pins, including:
- 3 HDMI/DisplayPort outputs
- 8 USB 2.0 ports, up to 4 USB 3.2 ports
- 9 PCIe 3.0 lanes, 2 SATA 3.0 ports
-
64 expandable GPIOs
This ensures unmatched flexibility for building customized solutions.
Carrier Boards – Unlocking Infinite Possibilities
DFRobot offers two carrier board options:
- Lite Carrier Board: A streamlined platform for quick development and verification. (Note: The PCIe slot is available only with a 12V power supply.)
- Full-Function Evaluation Carrier Board: Exposes all LattePanda Mu pins for comprehensive hardware and software testing.
Simplified Custom Carrier Board Design
LattePanda provides open-source carrier board design files (KiCAD) and reference libraries, making it easy to develop tailored carrier boards, significantly reducing development time.
Multi-OS Compatibility
Supports Windows 10, Windows 11, and Ubuntu, ensuring broad compatibility for diverse applications.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DisplayPort
- A digital display interface used to connect monitors and other video displays. It matters because the supported DisplayPort version affects display resolution, refresh rate and monitor compatibility.
- eMMC
- Embedded MultiMediaCard is built-in flash storage soldered onto a board, similar in purpose to an SD card but integrated. It matters because it holds the operating system and files without needing a separate memory card.
- HDMI
- HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- TDP
- TDP, or thermal design power, is a guide to how much heat a processor’s cooling system is expected to handle. Checking the TDP rating helps you decide whether a heatsink or case is suitable for the board and workload you plan to use.
- Thread
- A low-power wireless mesh networking standard designed for smart home and IoT devices. It matters because Thread devices can relay messages through each other, helping build reliable networks for sensors and controllers.
- UART
- UART is a simple serial connection that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, often labelled TX and RX. It matters because this module is designed to replace a wired UART cable with a wireless link while keeping the same serial data format.
