This is Waveshare Nano Base Board (B) for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.
The Differences. Although the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 has the same computing power as the Raspberry Pi 4, one can think of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module as a stripped-down version of the Raspberry Pi 4 with no ports. So, a carrier board is necessary to use the Compute Module The Compute Module 4 IO Board is a companion board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (supplied separately). It is designed for use both as a development system for Compute Module 4 and as an embedded board integrated into end products
