Raspberry Pi CM4 based Bitcoin node with PoE and M.2 NVMe

The bitcart

This project is unfinished and on hold until the supply of CM4 8GB improves

This is a Raspberry Pi CM4 carrier board optimized for being a bitcoin node.

It is heavily based on the official Raspberry Pi CM4 Carrier Board

[Still very much WIP. The schematic is mostly done, and the PCB layout is started. Needs a lot more work, and testing!]

features

  • Uses the RPi CM4 (use the CM4108032 with 8GB RAM and 32GB eMMC storage)
  • M.2 M-Key slot for NVMe SSD storage. (Need that 1TB+ for bitcoin core!)
  • Powered by 20W PoE+
  • Gigabit ethernet
  • USB port for debugging
