HomeLabIO is a Compute Module 4 carrier board designed to fit in a 19" rack using 1U of space.
Features:
- Power over Ethernet 802.3at (PoE+)
- NVMe SSD up to 2280
- HDMI
- USB-C UART communication on the front
- PWM fan
This is my first attempt at making a PCB and was largely a practical learning experience.
The schematic is heavily inspired by the Raspberry Pi CM4IO and the HomeAssistant Yellow.
