On a second thought, having Framework mainborad compatible with compute module pinout has its own advantages.
By having such a mainboard, we could use, out of the box:
-
Raspberry Pi compute modules 4 & 5:
-
Orange Pi compute modules
-
Banana Pi compute modules
-
A dozen of various China RK35xx based modules:
- And who knows what else.
So, strategically this project can be a win for makers and a fit for Framework’s niche of geek-oriented upgradeable and repairable hardware.
Since the schematics was already implemented in dozens of adapter boards (including anyon_e) I think it should be quite straightforward to port it to Framework’s form factor.
The only concern is probably the cooling system and board height.
UPD: Someone had already started such a project.
