@Felthry it's a slightly janky snap-kit cyberdeck by clockworkpi with swappable sodimm compute modules similar to the old raspi cm3. i'm currently using their somewhat diminutive sunxi d1 riscv64 module, but most of the modules are arm based.

@patchwork also neat to hear about something that uses CPU cards, that's not been common since... was it the pentium 2 or original pentium?

@patchwork though i know there's some stuff built around TI's C2000 architecture that uses sodimm for the mpu connection too, we worked with one of those (a DSP430 i believe) in college

@Felthry that sounds cool 👀 i love systems with easily swappable modules like that

@patchwork i dunno the c2000 architecture is not pleasant to work with

@Felthry it is! i kinda wish it was running on top of an fpga like the precursor, but it's still neat to be able to tinker with it a lil
