MEMESat-1 RM1116-D4E0W2 Custom design Buildroot I am with the Small Satelite Research Lab at the University of Georgia. We are looking for a computer to use in one of our projects launching next year. With the CM4 being out of stock everywhere, we are trying to find an alternative with the same form factor. We want to sample this SBC for possible integration. This satellite will be used as an education platform during STEM outreach by our customer Let's Go to Space.
MSLA resin printers RM116-D4E32W Currently the RPi CM4 + LCD Raspbian/Linux The project is currently in experimental state, I am working on Linux driver for current state-of-the-art LCDs featured on resin printers. However, these LCDs use 2x 4-lane MIPI interface, thus I am experimenting with multiplexing MIPI on Rpi CM4 (which sucks). This is why I am reaching out to you - as ROCK3 features 2x 4-lane MIPI! This is a killer feature for such a project. Just to give you context; the resin 3D printing is extremely limited a dominated by Chitusystems. They have terrible closed ecosystem, unlike the open ecosystem available for FDM printers. It is really hard for open project to start, as there is a big obstacle in driving high-resolution LCDs required for these printers.

Community will be encouraged to submit their PCB designs fitting aftermarket computers. A reference design for em350 will be provided, however a board for vastly popular eeePC would probably gain a lot of attention. Currently only Radxa CM3 is suitable, due to its unique LVDS output feature.
Seaberry Pi Any Custom Design, standard Mini-ITX form factor Linux The Seaberry Pi is a full-featured Raspberry Pi CM4 or Radxa CM3 carrier board in a standard Mini-ITX form factor that exposes the PCIe bus to a variety of different connector types, which include one M.2 Key M slot for NVME SSD, four PCIe Mini connectors, four PCIe M.2 Key E connectors (with dual PCIe and dual Reset lines support to accommodate dual Coral AI TPU M.2 modules), one x16 standard PCIe add-on card connector (x1 PCIe Lane functionality), and one x1 PCIe side connector.

Freeplay CM3 CM3 SODIMM without eMMC Freeplay CM3 (could use RM116-D1E0W0 plus IO board for devel) Linux Freeplay CM3 is a retro gaming system based on RPi CM3. It would be nice for customers to have more options for CPU. Integration/Development could be done with Radxa CM3 or Radxa CM3 SODIMM, but we prefer the SODIMM form factor in the final product. We can also use eMMC modules in our carrier, but our customers prefer to use SD cards for their OS.
OpenHD eMMC, prefer 2GB RAM, WiFi Raspi CM4 Compute Stick Raspbian, Ubuntu I'm one of the Core-Devs from the OpenHD Project, I would like to explore the possibilities to port and run OpenHD on RADXA Hardware. The main goal is to achieve better decoding and display latency with RADXA compared to Raspberry Pi 4/CM4. I hope that it'll be a good replacement for CM4 because it could be a drop-in replacement which will most likely reduce video latency. OpenHD is a Project, some even call it "suite", to enable digital video transmission via simple Wi-Fi-Adapters which minimal latency and high range/reliability.
Bootloader/UEFI Support RM116-D8E32W CM3 IO Baseboard Barebox, UEFI Hi, I'd like to port barebox to the Radxa CM3 and support my friend with UEFI environment development to support off-the-shelf linux distros on CM3 with barebox. I also have a ClockworkPi UConsole on order with an RPI CM4 adapter to use Radxa CM3 instead of RPI CM4. Improving mainline kernel support for Rockchip RK356x/CM3 is also on my todo list before the uconsole arrives.
Nirvati RM116-D8E0W2 BitPiRat Citadel Hi, I'm developing Nirvati & Citadel, a server & bitcoin node managment software. I want to make the software compatible with the Radxa CM3 & CM5 hardware because a lot of users are interested in other platforms apart from the Pi.
OpenFC-ROCK3 RM116-D1E8W2 Custom design Ubuntu I am working on a custom carrier board that would house many sensors (IMUs, baros, GPS, etc) along with some radio units for RC and VTX. The idea is to use this carrier board as a main communication hub for a quad-copter and the ROCK3 would act as a flight controller. The carrier board will have a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller that will communicate with all the sensors, radio units and output signals for the motor controllers. Along with all these, the RP2040 will communicate with the ROCK3 through USB 2.0 full-speed interface. The goal is to achieve time critical sensor data acquisition and motor control using the RP2040 while having the ability to have enough processing power through the ROCK3.
