Nano Base Board (B) for Raspberry Pi CM4

The Nano base Board B is is 'big sister' to the Nano Base Board A, offering even more functionality and connectivity for your Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 in a tiny CM4-sized package.

This board breaks out an impressive array of connectivity from your CM4, considering the compact footprint, allowing you to evaluate multiple elements of the latest Compute Module for your project's needs.

Just like the Nano Base Board A, this B version allows you to power your CM4 via USB-C whilst also providing a USB port, CSI camera connector, SD card slot, GPIO breakout, boot switch and indication LEDs. On top of this, it also provides a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 jack, 3.5mm audio jack, Mini HDMI port, programmable button and a DSI display port!

Note: the GPIO header is packed with the board separately and will require soldering!

Features

The Base Board B is the same overall size as the CM4 module yet offers a host of useful features:

• 40-pin GPIO breakout
• Male colour-coded GPIO pins (packaged separately - requires soldering)
• USB-C 5V power port
• Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port
• Camera CSI port
• Display DSI port
• Mini HDMI port
• 3.5mm Audio jack
• MicroSD card socket for CM4 Lite variants
• 1x USB 2.0 port
• Boot switch
• User-programmable button
• Power indication LED
• Activity Indication LED
• Dimensions: 55mm x 40mm
