Reminds me of this project someone was working on: https://hackaday.io/project/164845-dlt-one-a-damn-linux-tabl... They started off using the compute module, but ended up switching to the Nvidia Jetson Nano. Both of these projects make me wish for a world where a standard pin-out in this SODIMM format arises and we could see some inter-operable competition like we have with PC desktop parts.
What I really want is to use the Rasperry Pi as both a computer system and a throw away embedded module. So I would want something like this when I program the Rasperry Pi to say control a robotic arm somewhere.
