[CNX-Software] - Miniature Raspberry Pi CM4 carrier board only exposes USB-C port and 40-pin GPIO header

Mirek Folejewski’s (aka Mirko Electronics) PicoBerry is an open-source hardware, miniature Raspberry Pi CM4 carrier board with just a USB Type-C port for power, a 40-pin Raspberry Pi GPIO header, and barely anything else. At just 70x20mm, the 2-layer board only adds a few LEDs, namely the ACT/PWR LEDS and two user LEDs, and supports any Raspberry Pi CM4 module with eMMC flash, but not the Raspberry Pi CM4 Lite since the board does not include a microSD card slot. PicoBerry specifications: Supported system-on-modules – Raspberry Pi CM4 with eMMC flash, and possibly compatible SoMs such as Radxa CM5 or Pine64 SoQuartz64 USB – USB Type-C for power Expansion – 40-pin GPIO header with the same layout as on Raspberry Pi 4 or other Pi boards with a 40-pin header Misc – ACT/PWR LEDs, 2x user LEDs (green.red) Power Supply  – 5V DC/3A via USB-C port, Dimensions – 70x20mm (2-layer [...]
