| 5 | 1 | laforge | This project is about mounting a Raspberry Pi embedded Linux computer as a module that can slide into a standard 3U component carrier. |

| 7 | 4 | laforge | Why would one do that? The primary use case is to use it as control computer for a variety of other component carrier mounted boards. In this case it fits nicely next to the other boards you would like to control, e.g. via USB or UART. |

| 9 | 9 | pespin | In theory one could of course also assemble an entire component carrier with nothing but such raspberry pi modules, but for this there are already a number of less expensive systems around on the market. |

| 11 | The advantage of this approach really is the capability to mix and match with other modules in this standardized form-factor. |
