cm4crypto

cm4crypto is an adapter board that allows you to use an M-Key M.2 compatible module with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (cm4).

adding fast terabyte SSD options within a sleek RPi 4 format makes the cm4crypto perfect for uses like:

  • participating in blockchain networks
  • acting as a home media server
  • hosting a local database

status

this project is no longer actively developed. the source material will continue to be available for reference.

additional resources:

features

  • Adds M.2 M-Key PCIe x1 interface for use with NVMe SSDs or other compatible modules
  • Designed for use in the Flirc RPi 4 case
  • Power Over Ethernet (PoE) support
  • Camera Interface

M.2 compatibility

M.2 specifies a connector layout, standard interfaces, and a few form factors. with such a wide variety of options available no single product can hope to support them all. here are the things you should check to see if your desired module is compatible:

propertyvaluenotes
keyMthe M.2 connector on the cm4crypto uses an M key
interfacePCIe x1though the M key standard supports PCIe x4 the cm4 only has x1 PCIe lane available. thanks to PCIe compatibility this should only reduce performance, not prevent functionality
dimensionsup to 22 x 80 mmto fit in the case

RPi 4 compatibility

the cm4rypto inherently gains some compatibility with RPi 4 accessories since it was designed to work with the sleek Flirc case however design tradeoffs had to be made as well.

compatible

  • 1x Gigabit ethernet
  • 2x micro HDMI ports
  • 1x USB-C port for power or USB OTG
  • 1x USB-A port (USB 2.0)

discrepancies

  • there is no 3.5mm audio jack
  • GPIO is very limited - only GPIO 2, 3, and 14 are available along with the first set of power pins (for PoE compatibility)
  • the camera interface is relocated so that it comes out near the sd card
  • the sd card receptacle is slightly offset to allow for the M.2 connector

Questions

How big is the Lobby PCB?

It measures 85 × 56 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.33 mm thick.

What parts does the Lobby use?

41 parts, built around the MYLSM00502ERPL and RT9742GGJ5. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Lobby KiCad files?

From the oclyke/cm4crypto repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/lobby/lobby.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/lobby/lobby.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Lobby design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask oclyke before reusing the design.
