Just about a week ago the Raspberry Pi foundation released an updated Pi 3 B+ (see this HN thread <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16582878" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16582878</a>).<p>This update was an incremental release and was a disappointment for some who hoped for more memory, some eMMC, faster USB and so on. These are all high cost options and the Foundations goals are really education at lowest possible cost - something which they have been very successful at.<p>This new carrier board for the Raspberry Pi 3 compute module attempts to satisfy more demanding users as well as the industrial market.<p>Among quite a few other features this board has eMMC, a RTC and a separate bluetooth micro controller for use in low power situations.<p>All in all a very interesting little board. I think it will be very popular for people looking for industrial solutions.
