Now that rpi CM4 is out there are new possibilities.


This board looks like a good start to redesign it and convert in to specialized boat IO board for CM4

something like a combo of MCS board, autopilot, and Moitessier Hat

They wave design fees currently if you design a board using their toolkit which is quite interesting:

I do not have expertise in board designs but I hope someone will be able to build specialized boat board to support autopilot and chart plotter on Linux.

If there is dedicated hardware board I could customize this Linux distro to support it:

Sorry for cross posting it. I've originally posted it in pypilot (it's relevant there too).

Thanks,

I have expertise in Board design and I made a 10" Plotter based on the CM3+ Module.

I am in contact with Thomas (the inventor of the mcs). We already talked about a plotter based on the CM4.

Cheers,
