    What is Raspberry Pi Compute Module? What is it used for?

    Compute modules, essentially stripped-down versions of single-board computers, offer essential processing components like CPU, memory, and storage but exclude many peripherals and I/O ports. They are ideal for creating specialized, compact, and scalable devices, making them valuable in applications like cluster computing, home automation, handheld devices, and industrial automation. Despite their flexibility, compute modules can be costly and require additional boards, adding complexity. Popular options include Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and Nvidia Jetson modules.
