The embedded module measures about 55 x 40mm and features the same Rockchip System-on-Chip seen on the Orange Pi 3B covered earlier this month. 

• RK3566 — Quad-core 64-bit Cortex-A55 (up to 1.8GHz); ARM Mali G52 2EE GPU; 0.8 TOPS@INT8 NPU

The Orange Pi CM4 offers a range of configurations to choose from, including varying memory capacities of 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB LPDDR4/4x, as well as eMMC storage options of 8GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB.

The module features a 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet transceiver for high-speed networking. It’s also equipped with an HDMI 2.0 interface supporting resolutions up to 4K@60fps, MIPI DSI display interfaces, an eDP and a MIPI CSI camera 4-lane interface.

There is also a compatible low-cost baseboard with interfaces such as GbE, stacked USB ports, 3.5mm audio jack, 2x CSI 2-lanes, 1x MIPI LCD, 1x 30-pin eDP, 1x M.2 slot, 1x MicroSD card slot and a 40-pin GPIO expansion header (supports GPIO, UART, I2C, SPI, PWM).
