To celebrate and support the release of the new Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, Seeed is sponsoring businesses and individuals using the Compute Module 4 in customizing their designs or when designing carrier custom boards.
What are Raspberry Pi Compute Modules?
With almost every Raspberry Pi iteration, a Compute Module version has been released alongside it. Compute Modules are essentially the bare guts of the standard Raspberry Pi board with the form factor of a small stick of computer RAM.
Geared towards customization and industrial applications, the compute modules provide greater flexibility, enabling designers to develop their own custom carrier boards, doing away with unnecessary interfaces and features, enabling smaller custom form factor boards and gaining access to more pins than the standard Pi board.
The latest in the line of flexible Raspberry Pi SoC boards, the Compute Module 4 incorporates elements of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with an all new smaller form factor.

As an approved reseller of Raspberry Pi, Seeed is going a step further by sponsoring industrial designers and makers alike in developing with the Raspberry Compute Module. We have two offerings for:
- Businesses developing products that use the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.
- Open source Raspberry Pi Compute Module carrier custom board designs.
PCBA Sponsorship for Commercial Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Products Customization
