Banana Pi BPI-CM4 IO Board For BPI-CM4 Compute Module With MIPI DSI, MIPI CSI, miniPCIe, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet And 26-Pin GPIO
The Banana Pi BPI-CM4 IO Board is a carrier board built for the BPI-CM4 compute module. It breaks out the module’s interfaces into standard connectors, so you can move from evaluation to a working embedded setup without custom board design. The board has MIPI DSI and MIPI CSI ports for display and camera connections, an HDMI output, and a miniPCIe slot for expansion.
The board has a 1-Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet port, 2 USB 2.0 ports and a USB Type-C OTG port for fast networking and peripheral connectivity. A SIM card slot and TF card slot support cellular and storage needs. The 26-pin GPIO header, UART debug interface and AD key make it well-suited for prototyping, firmware development and small-scale deployment. At 100 x 72 mm, it fits easily into compact enclosures.
Key Features
- MIPI DSI Display Interface: Connects compatible MIPI DSI displays for embedded user interfaces and panels.
