Raspberry Pi Compute Modules 3+ is a range of DDR2-SODIMM-mechanically-compatible System on Modules (SoMs). The modules contain a processor, memory, eMMC Flash (on non-Lite variants) and supported power circuitry. These modules allow for leveraging the Raspberry Pi hardware and software stack in their own custom systems and form factors. In addition, these modules have extra IO interfaces over and above what is available on the Raspberry Pi model A/B boards. This opens up more options for the designer.
