Compute Module • Re: my wish for CM5 module

ive seen a few people that are very clearly not industrial users, that are struggling to do the most basic things with a cm4 and refusing to read any docs

and i just have to wonder, why did you even get a cm4? an rpi4 would have been for that user
Because on devices like the retroflag there is nothing else except the CM4....and it has an internal Li-ion battery.
On that device it''s very difficult to keep the CM4 cool.....needs an ultra compact heatsink.
The RF device has headphones output with a volume control. Not available on RPI5.

If you use 1 or other of 2 boards Official AND/OR Tofu (maybe others) you can run CM4 in a car/truck at 12 or 24V, something that is hopeless on Rpi3b/4 or 5 because of the 5V PSU needs.
Again keeping a CM4 cool is not easy on hot summer days if viewing HD vid.

I don't like SD card computers, so that means forget CM4 without e-MMC and RPi4/5

FYI CM4 runs on Nano-B boards which are absolutely tiny and have a headphone jack, (again something the Pi5 has lost).
I have a very good installation of Android which works great on that, + you can tether the CM4 to a vast heatsink with it, and plug in headphones if you don't want audio over HDMI.
So why don't they read the docs then? Which I suspect is the real point point from the post.
