The element14 Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit CadSoft Library

element14 is pleased to offer our very own CadSoft library for Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit--for free! Our new library simplifies Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit development by giving you instant access to the pinouts you need for building your own custom circuit. Just download the attached zip file and load the library into CadSoft.

Don't yet have CadSoft EAGLE? Get your copy here!

We hope you enjoy building with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit and CadSoft. Thanks for being a part of our community!

Just had some board printed. The mounting holes are backwards. The smaller hole should be on the side with the most pins and the larger hole should be on the side with the fewest pins. I verified this through the TE Connectivity P/N 1565917-4, Newark P/N 08P0616. I ended up just using some clippers on the larger post and had to pay attention to the alignment more.

The design and schematic were perfect for my project otherwise -- thank you for your efforts!!

Thanks, and good catch! This will be updated in the Rev B version.

There is an mistake in the Pinning.... Pin 113 is the Signal HDMI_CK_P (not HDMI_DO_N)

That sounds like a great project! Given that you want to take some components off and add some of your own, I don't think you'll need their libraries. Just download their CAD files, and start hacking away. I'm not sure what format the RPi CAD files are in, but if they are EAGLE then there is no library needed to open an existing design and move/delete things. You only need the library when trying to add components.

I don't know anyone at RPi, but I bet the best way to make a documentation request would be with a comment on their blog. Good luck!

That is exactly what I'm looking for. My intent is to build a custom CMIO board with only the CMIO provided elements that I need (i.e. USB, Ethernet, HDMI?, etc., no camera, sound, ...) and add the components required for my project (Bluetooth, relays, real-time clock, etc.).

The compute library gets me the DDR2 socket, but a library with all the CMIO related components would be awesome.

I don't suppose you might have a contact at the RPi foundation that I could ask directly do you?

Thanks for responding.

Hi Mitch-
It sounds like you are looking for the CAD files for the compute module and IO board. I don't know if they publish their libraries, and I don't think they have published the CAD files for the module itself, but they just posted the IO module design files last week here: Raspberry Pi Documentation. Maybe if you asked, the RPi foundation would publish everything!

This only has the CM and the DDR connector. It would be great to have a library that included all the components on the actual CM and more importantly, the CMIO board.

Hi Elbert.

The downloadable file should look like this. Please let us know if you can see it - and thanks!

Cheers,
