EDATEC has also designed a more fully featured carrier board, the CM0 NANO, with a battery-backed RTC, USB hub, and Ethernet.

Chinese makers are already releasing awesome OSHW projects using the CM0, like the MoCM0, which is a 45x45x20mm Mac Mini-inspired Linux PC with active cooling.

Like other Compute Modules, there's a Lite version without eMMC that boots from a microSD card, as well as variants without onboard Wi-Fi 4 / Bluetooth 4.2.

The CM0 with no eMMC or wireless is the cheapest version; it costs ¥145 from retailers (about $20)

To flash the onboard eMMC, just install the nRPIBOOT jumper and connect a cable to the bottom microUSB port. Run rpiboot, write an OS image, and you're off to the races!

Some more pics of the IO Board. The CM0 is uniquely suited for low-profile applications that need a lot of IO.
othermod.com 's PSPi comes to mind!

The CM0 IO Board comes in a small, no-frills box with a 2.4GHz patch antenna and a jumper to enable flashing the CM0's onboard eMMC.

Oddly, the support URL on the box -- raspberrypi.com/products/cm0... -- currently 404s.

The CM0 is a SOM based around the processor that's on the Pi Zero 2W. It's got the exact same specs (1GHz BCM2710A1 + 512MB LPDDR2) but with MIPI DSI fanned out, optional onboard eMMC, and a u.FL antenna connector.

Here's a size comparison with a Pi Zero 2W and the CM0 IO board.

Here's a quick hands-on overview of the Raspberry Pi CM0, a 39x33mm RP3A0 castellated compute module @raspberrypi.com and EDATEC have released exclusively for the Chinese market!

Got burned by this one a few years back. The red LED in this series has a flipped markings relative to every other color

There's no recreation or emulation happening here. Kawaii contains an official Wii motherboard, heavily trimmed down with a Dremel!

But yes, Wiis can be trimmed much smaller than GameCubes, and also use much less power.

Some more glamour shots ✨🟦✨

Kawaii is 100% open source. Please check out the GitHub repo! github.com/mackieks/Kaw...

And yes, there really is an entire Wii inside! It plays GameCube games beautifully.

The magnetic dock breaks out analog audio, component video, and four GC controller ports.

I'm stoked to have finally finished the Kawaii, a fully functional metal Wii keychain. It's way smaller than it looks— only as big as a Game Boy cartridge! ✨🟦✨

Huge thanks to @weskmods.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social for being awesome project partners!

My strategy is designing jig PCBs. Works extremely well! If you wanted to, you could add holes for steel locating pins to the jig PCB and stencil. github.com/mackieks/thu...

The pinstrappable PDO selection also works as expected! 🥳

My LT6711A board works perfectly! It draws about 1W when converting 1080p HDMI to DP Alt Mode. ⚡

Whipped up an eval board for the Lontium LT6711A. It takes HDMI in and outputs USB-C DP Alt Mode. This is gonna be a gamechanger for Wii portablizing!

Currently working on Scampi, an open source shrimp-themed universal audio amp for portablizers! 🦐 🩷

It will support analog input as well as I²S from a dozen different video game consoles.

The lovely WUP-50 Wii U motherboard, at 1200DPI! 🤩

This is the LOLWUT Wii U trim. A fully functional Wii U in the palm of your hand (81x111mm). It's the culmination of ~3 months of off-and-on portablizing R&D by yours truly! bitbuilt.net/forums/index...
