  • The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 is a tiny, full-featured computer with eMMC storage and WiFi, but it's not widely available outside China.
  • It's part of the Compute Module (SoM) line, designed for integration into other products, with castellated edges for easy soldering.
  • The CM0NANO development board by EDAtec serves as the official IO board for the CM0, featuring Ethernet, USB, HDMI, and more.
  • Despite its capabilities, the CM0 has limited RAM (512MB), making tasks like web browsing impractical.
  • Global distribution of the CM0 is uncertain due to shortages of LPDDR2 RAM and competition with the Pi Zero 2 W.
  • The CM0 is targeted at low-end, integrated products, making its availability outside China unlikely in the near future.
