CM3+ Lite edition?

[wizardofyendor]

Are we going to begin seeing new units shipped with CM3+ Lites?  I know they have better thermals and power management.  Is that enough to swap the current CM3 with the 3+?

[wizardofyendor]

Nevermind, just saw this is answered in another thread.  Units are currently shipping with 3+.

That is correct.

Is there an easy way (perhaps by visual inspection?) to tell if your board is the lite one or not?

[Porcinus]

Yes,
Look at the back of the Compute Module, is there is only one chip on the left side and a empty BGA on the right, this is the Lite version.

When you buy a CM3 Kit, the Compute Module is included.

Ah, Thanks! That's what I was looking for, and makes total sense.
