May I ask what's the point of the compute module + ethernet addon? Why not a normal pi4?

- Isthatablackgsd 5y agofrom what I remember, CM4 provides more functions and I/Os than you can get from Pi4. Just put it in the specialized motherboard (some boards have specific features to supplement CM4). I strongly recommend you to watch Jeff Geerling YouTube channel, you will see the why it is beneficial to use CM4 over Pi4.
- IntelMiner 5y agoUSB ethernet gets bogged down with interrupts if you start pushing lots of packets through it The board I linked is the Pi's ethernet as eth0 and a Realtek gigabit NIC over PCI-E 1x as eth1 (instead of USB3 which is what the Pi 4 uses the PCI-E for) As a result it can do a full gigabit of traffic with minimal overhead
