I don't get it. This doesn't have a pi in it, it's "pi compatible" ? Looks dangerously close to trademark infringement ? Maybe patent infringement? Why "pi compatible"? I suppose this means software not hardware since not same form factor and no I/o pins ?? Why not just say it's a linux machine? This is open source but pi is not ?

Just wanted to drop a link here to a page I maintain tracking as many Pi CM4-based projects as I've found: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/boards_cm (including the CutiePi).

The Compute Module 4 is the first revision (similar to the regular 4 model B) that is fast enough to actually be a practical/sensible replacement for a great deal of use cases where traditionally low power PC hardware would be preferred (though often more expensive).

The one common theme though is the soldering of the hirose connectors is a bear to do manually.

This was a Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/745629624/cutiepi-raspb... (I am a backer, but I haven't received mine yet, so don't yet have an opinion on the product)
