Thankfully, unlike the impossible-to-buy Compute Module 3E (which also used the RP3A0 SOC), the CM0 and IO Board devkit are widely available on AliExpress and Taobao! Many thanks to RasPi and EDATEC for not completely locking down the supply chain! 😃

Like other Compute Modules, there's a Lite version without eMMC that boots from a microSD card, as well as variants without onboard Wi-Fi 4 / Bluetooth 4.2. The CM0 with no eMMC or wireless is the cheapest version; it costs ¥145 from retailers (about $20)

The CM0 is a SOM based around the processor that's on the Pi Zero 2W. It's got the exact same specs (1GHz BCM2710A1 + 512MB LPDDR2) but with MIPI DSI fanned out, optional onboard eMMC, and a u.FL antenna connector. Here's a size comparison with a Pi Zero 2W and the CM0 IO board.

I'm stoked to have finally finished the Kawaii, a fully functional metal Wii keychain. It's way smaller than it looks— only as big as a Game Boy cartridge! ✨🟦✨ Huge thanks to @weskmods.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social for being awesome project partners!

The Nintendo Kawaii, a collaboration project between myself, @mks.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social has finally been released fully open source! If you're brave enough to build one you'll have one of the most unique pieces of gaming jewellery ever. Info here: bitbuilt.net/forums/index...

And yes, there really is an entire Wii inside! It plays GameCube games beautifully. The magnetic dock breaks out analog audio, component video, and four GC controller ports.

My LT6711A board works perfectly! It draws about 1W when converting 1080p HDMI to DP Alt Mode. ⚡

Whipped up an eval board for the Lontium LT6711A. It takes HDMI in and outputs USB-C DP Alt Mode. This is gonna be a gamechanger for Wii portablizing!

Currently working on Scampi, an open source shrimp-themed universal audio amp for portablizers! 🦐 🩷 It will support analog input as well as I²S from a dozen different video game consoles.

You are up to date.
