. Often they have better hardware specs, and yet they remain a more obscure also-ran in that generation of Single Board Computer (SBC).So when I saw Radxa's CM3 and Pine64's SOQuartz, I wanted to see if either would be—as they advertised—'drop in, pin-compatible replacements' for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.

Christmas Tree PCB Just The Trick For Festive Glee | Hackaday
It’s a forward-looking project, complete with USB-C connector, future-proofing it for some time until yet another connector standard comes along. When plugged in, like many similar projects, it blinks some APA102 LEDs in a festive way. The PCB joins in on the fun, with white silkscreen baubles augmented by golden ones created by gaps in the soldermask.
An ATTiny167 is the brains of the operation, using the Micronucleus bootloader in a similar configuration to teh DigiSpark Pro development board. It relies on a bit-banged low-speed USB interface for programming, but the functionality is largely transparent to the end user. It can readily be programmed from within the Arduino IDE.
