# cmio

Note that this circuit currently has critical issues that are yet to be resolved. Do not use in its current state please.
**Note that this circuit is currently untested, as such I cannot guarantee that
it will function correctly.**

Custom Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO Board. Designed for low cost production,
minimal set of components, and compatibility with the Raspberry Pi GPIO header.
This is a custom Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO Board. Designed for low cost
production, and a minimal set of components.

Because low cost production was the main focus of the project, this Compute
Module IO board only has a subset of features in comparison to the official
version. However, whilst the official version costs £115, this design aims to
produce a Compute Module IO board that can be manufactured (PCB fabrication,
BOM, et al) under £30.

This allows hobbyists an opportunity to introduce themselves to the Raspberry
Pi Compute Module without breaking the bank.

Features:
* Low cost design.
* Only low cost components required.
* Micro SD card slot.
* Composite video output (No HDMI).
* Bank 0 and Bank 1 GPIO pins available.
* USB On-The-Go (OTG) support.
* Micro USB power input.
* Fully open source (KiCad files, etc. all available) under GNU GPL3 License.
* A most excellent **reset button**!

Compatibility with the Raspberry Pi GPIO header was removed after v0.2 to
simplify the design and reduce cost of production.

\* Prices correct at the time of writing, are in Pound Sterling and include
VAT.
