- kingosticks 7y agoI appreciate what they did and why. But no, that's not the exact same thing as the raspberry pi with it's ports de-populated. You need to provide power and ethernet (if required) yourself, I think. The compute model is the right choice for an actual product (i.e. making more than one), but for someone trying to jam a pi into a thin space, removing the ports is almost as thin. Plus you don't also need a motherboard. The compute module is also still waiting for it's BCM2711 refresh, another reason it's not the same thing. But when that does arrive, if it's just a case of swapping the modules that'll be a brilliant upgrade for this project.
