UpBerry v0.3: Summary
⠀
1. Aluminium case is perfect. I didn't expect it to be that nice (overall feeling and temperatures). Under the full load during the whole hour (FULL LOAD!) the CPU temperature was only 60℃, and the case was 50℃. In normal conditions, the CPU is about 45℃.
2. Assembling was a bit complicated. Had to cut off the parts from the USB-C port, because I mixed up the PCB footprint a bit. The case hole was also designed for another port. However, everything is fine and the prototype is fully functional.
3. Bootloader update button works great, you hold it during connection to another PC and then release. This allows you to flash the OS or change the config file.
4. There are no problems with the Wi-Fi signal. It does not interfere with the case at all.
5. You can use a monitor with a USB-C hub, for example, and connect the mouse and keyboard to the monitor. USB power delivery works as well.
6. The size is 58*58*13mm (2,28x2,28x0,51'') Characteristics depend on Raspberry Pi CM4 you use:
- quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC up to @ 2.2GHz (OC)
- H.265 (HEVC) (up to 4Kp60 decode), H.264 (up to 1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode)
- up to 8GB LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM
- up to 32GB eMMC Flash memory
- 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless;
- Bluetooth 5.0, BLE;
- HDMI port up to 4k60
- Power 5V 2A (usual USB port on monitor or TV)
- Bootloader button, you can flash, update and configure the device from another PC just with a usual USB-C cable
- USB port can be used to connect the mouse and keyboard with the hub

I think the cheapest and high-quality PoE shield for Raspberry Pi (or even free if you find a way to order a free example board). Based on Silvertel Ag9705-FL (about €8.4 or $9.8)

How do you like this concept?
- Based on Raspberry Pi CM4 (quad-core CPU, up to 8Gb RAM)
- 2 touchscreens: 5 and 7 inches
- 2 USBs for external controllers
- HDMI
- Speakers and audio port
- USB-C for charging
- I think great for #retropie

I did it!
Now I have Raspberry Pi CM4 with 128Gb eMMC onboard.
In the system, it is visible as:
"MMC Type: eMMC v4 (Embedded) - Manufacturer: Toshiba - Model: 128G04 - Size: 116.2G"
The speed of the new storage is a bit faster in some cases compared to the original 32Gb model. Much faster and reliable than an SD card.
⠀
Used this chip:
Mfr. No: THGAMRT0T43BAIR
Mfr.: KIOXIA America, Inc. (formerly Toshiba Memory America, Inc.)
The chip itself costs about 42 euros.
⠀
And relatively low cost tools (on the last photo in the carousel). Preheat table is recommended.
I followed the temperature profiles on a stopwatch, but in the end, I had to warm up the heat gun to 380 degrees. The main thing is not to overexpose, because there are many components on the bottom of the board that can be unsoldered. Lately, I have been constantly using mine UpBerry board (Black PCB one first photo) as a developer board, very convenient 🙂 will share it after finish with the case.

UpBerry v0.2
The second revision of the PCB. Everything works. Only the ports need to be slightly aligned in-depth and height.
The case will be made of aluminum (that's why that is the only v0.2). I 3D-printed test one just for an example and for checking the size (photo in the carousel).
The main purpose of this device is to show dashboards and metrics on large monitors in offices. But I think it can be used as a replacement for a Chromecast or even a PC in some use cases.
