Industrial SBC builds on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
=====================================================
![](http://hackerboards.com/files/embeddedmicro_mypi-thm.jpg)
On Kickstarter, a “MyPi” industrial SBC using the RPi Compute Module offers a mini-PCIe slot, serial port, wide-range power, and modular expansion.
You might wonder why in 2016 someone would introduce a sandwich-style single board computer built around the aging, ARM11 based COM version of the original Raspberry Pi, the [Raspberry Pi Compute Module][1]. First off, there are still plenty of industrial applications that dont need much CPU horsepower, and second, the Compute Module is still the only COM based on Raspberry Pi hardware, although the cheaper, somewhat COM-like [Raspberry Pi Zero][2], which has the same 700MHz processor, comes close.

In addition, Embedded Micro Technology says its SBC is also designed to support a swap-in for a promised Raspberry Pi Compute Module upgrade built around the Raspberry Pi 3s quad-core, Cortex-A53 Broadcom BCM2837 SoC. Since this product could arrive any week now, its unclear how that all sorts out for Kickstarter backers. Still, its nice to know youre somewhat futureproof, even if you have to pay for the upgrade.
The MyPi is not the only new commercial embedded device based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. Pigeon Computers launched a [Pigeon RB100][3] industrial automation controller based on the COM in May. Most such devices arrived in 2014, however, shortly after the COM arrived, including the [Techbase Modberry][4].
The MyPi is over a third of the way toward its $21,696 funding goal with 30 days to go. An early bird package starts at $119, with shipments in September. Other kit options include a $187 version that includes the $30 Raspberry Pi Compute Module, as well as various cables. Kits are also available with add-on boards and an industrial enclosure.

>MyPi baseboard without COM or add-ons (left) and its port details
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module starts the MyPi off with the Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, 512MB RAM, and 4GB eMMC flash. The MyPi adds to this with a microSD card slot, an HDMI port, two USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100 Ethernet port, and a similarly coastline RS232 port (via USB).

The MyPi is further equipped with a mini-PCIe socket, which is said to be “USB only and intended for use of modems available in the mPCIe form factor.” A SIM card slot is also available. Dual standard Raspberry Pi camera connectors are onboard along with an audio out interface, a battery-backed RTC, and LEDs. The SBC has a wide-range, 9-23V DC input.
The MyPi is designed for Raspberry Pi hackers who have stacked so many HAT add-on boards, they can no longer work with them effectively or stuff them inside and industrial enclosure, says Embedded Micro. The MyPi supports HATs, but also offers the companys own “ASIO” (Application Specific I/O) add-on modules, which route their I/O back to the carrier board, which, in turn, connects it to the 8-pin, green, Phoenix-style, industrial I/O connector (labeled “ASIO Out”) on the boards edge, as illustrated in the diagram below.

>MyPis modular expansion interface
As the Kickstarter page explains it: “Rather than have a plug in HAT card with IO signal connectors poking out on all sides, instead we take these same IO signals back down a second output connector which is directly connected to the green industrial connector.” Additionally, “by simply using extended length interface pins on the card (raising it up) you can expand the IO set further — all without using any cable assemblies!” says Embedded Micro.

>MyPi and its optional I/O add-on cards
The company offers a line of hardened ASIO plug-in cards for the MyPi, as shown above. These initially include CAN-Bus, 4-20mA transducer signals, RS485, Narrow Band RF, and more.
### Further information
The MyPi is available on Kickstarter starting at a 79-Pound ($119) early bird package (without the Raspberry Pi Compute Module) through July 23, with shipments due in September. More information may be found on the [MyPi Kickstarter page][5] and the [Embedded Micro Technology website][6].

用树莓派计算模块搭建的工业单板计算机
=====================================================
![](http://hackerboards.com/files/embeddedmicro_mypi-thm.jpg)
在 Kickstarter 众筹网站上一个叫“MyPi”的项目用 RPi 计算模块制作了一款 SBCSingle Board Computer 单板计算机),提供 mini-PCIe 插槽,串口,宽范围输入电源,以及模块扩展等功能。
你也许觉得奇怪,都 2016 年了,为什么还会有人发布这样一款长得有点像三明治,用过时的基于 ARM11 的原版树莓派 COMCompuer on Module模块化计算机版本[树莓派计算模块][1],构建的单板计算机。首先,目前仍然有大量工业应用不需要太多 CPU 处理能力,第二,树莓派计算模块仍是目前仅有的基于树莓派硬件的 COM虽然更便宜有点像 COM 并采用 700MHz 处理器的 [零号树莓派][2],快要发布了。

>安装了 COM 和 I/O 组件的 MyPi装入了可选的工业外壳中
另外Embedded Micro Technology 还表示它的 SBC 还设计成支持和承诺的树莓派计算模块升级版互换,采用树莓派 3 的四核Cortex-A53 博通 BCM2837 SoC。因为这个产品最近很快就会到货不确定他们怎么能及时为 Kickstarter 赞助者处理好这一切。不过,以后能支持也挺不错,就算要为这个升级付费也可以接受。
MyPi 并不是唯一一款新的基于树莓派计算模块的商业嵌入式设备。Pigeon Computers 在五月份启动了 [Pigeon RB100][3] 的项目,是一个基于 COM 的工业自动化控制器。不过,包括 [Techbase Modberry][4] 在内的这一类设备大都出现在 2014 年 COM 发布之后的一小段时间内。
MyPi 的目标是 30 天内筹集 $21,696目前已经实现了三分之一。早期参与包的价格 $119 起,九月份发货。其他选项有 $187 版本,里面包含了价值 $30 的树莓派计算模块,以及各种线缆。套件里还有各种插件板以及工业外壳可选。

>不带 COM 和插件板的 MyPi 主板(左)以及它的接口定义
树莓派计算模块能给 MyPi 带来博通 BCM2835 Soc512MB 内存,以及 4GB eMMC 存储空间。MyPi 主板扩展了一个 microSD 卡槽,一个 HDMI 接口,两个 USB 2.0 接口,一个 10/100 以太网口,还有一个类似网口的 RS232 端口(通过 USB

![](http://hackerboards.com/files/embeddedmicro_mypi_angle2.jpg)
>插上树莓派计算模块和 mini-PCIe 模块的 MyPi 的两个视角
MyPi 还将配备一个 mini-PCIe 插槽,据说“只支持 USB以及只适用 mPCIe 形式的调制解调器”。还带有一个 SIM 卡插槽。板上还有双标准的树莓派摄像头接口,一个音频输出接口,自带备用电池的 RTCLED 灯。还支持宽范围的 9-23V 直流输入。
Embedded Micro 表示MyPi 是为那些树莓派爱好者们设计的,他们堆积了太多 HAT 外接板已经不能有效地工作了或者不能很好地装入工业外壳里。MyPi 支持 HAT另外还提供了公司自己定义的“ASIO”特定应用接口插件模块它会将自己的 I/O 扩展到主板上,主板再将它们连到主板边上的 8 脚,绿色,工业 I/O 连接器标记了“ASIO Out”在下面图片里有描述。

>MyPi 的模块扩展接口
就像 Kickstarter 页面里描述的:“比起在板边插满带 IO 信号接头的 HAT 板,我们有意将同样的 IO 信号接到另一个接头,它直接接到绿色的工业接头上。”另外,“通过简单地延长卡上的插脚长度(抬高),你将来可以直接扩展 IO 集 - 这些都不需要任何排线”Embedded Micro 表示。

>MyPi 和它的可选 I/O 插件板卡
公司为 MyPi 提供了一系列可靠的 ASIO 插件板,像上面展示的。这些一开始会包括 CAN 总线4-20mA 传感器信号RS485窄带 RF等等。
### 更多信息
MyPi 在 Kickstarter 上提供了 7 月 23 日到期的 79 英镑($119早期参与包不包括树莓派计算模块预计九月份发货。更多信息请查看 [Kickstarter 上 MyPi 的页面][5] 以及 [Embedded Micro Technology 官网][6]。
