Yes but it does not have an ethernet port and it is expensive compared to
the zero.
And you have to buy the socket etc etc. Except for the physical size the PI
3 would be better than the compute module in my mind.
The zero would be so danged ideal. Just plug in a USB to Ethernet adapter
for $3 and you are ready to go. The physical size is a big deal for my
project, the zero is the perfect size too.

If you are going to use it in a produce the compute module would
probably be a better choice. It's basically the same interface as an old
memory stick. You can get them reliably and easier to assemble if you
are using them in quantity.

Arrgh... Now I am back to the eternal AVR vs PIC war.
I don’t want to find all my AVR tools and figure out which ones still
work.
I want linux....
