Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4
The Raspberry Pi 4 is the world’s most widely adopted single-board computer—powerful, affordable, and perfect for rapid prototyping and deployment. With up to 8GB of RAM and a quad-core Cortex-A72 processor, it’s more than capable of running advanced workloads at the edge.
When paired with Avocado OS, developers can accelerate time to production with a streamlined, repeatable Linux development environment—no complex toolchains, no custom Yocto builds.
