M5Stack has unveiled the latest addition to its popular Cardputer development board series, the new CardputerZero. This model shifts away from previous ESP32 microcontrollers to the Raspberry Pi Compute Module Zero (CM0).
"M5 CardputerZero is your pocket Linux lab," promises M5Stack.
The device allows you to carry a Linux system in your pocket, featuring CLI, SSH remote control, and on-device AI applications. Unlike its predecessors, the CardputerZero offers higher performance, built on the Broadcom BCM2837 system.
