Key highlights

CMCube is a CubeSat Onboard Computer (OBC) powered by Raspberry Pi CM4 with a ARM Cortex M4 based Co-Processor and integrated with NASA's cFS framework that runs on Linux.

Key features

It provides efficient and versatile computing for CubeSats, allowing easy extension of both software and hardware capabilities. With its modular software design, users can add mission-specific apps without compromising OBC performance, and it supports Multiple ADC interfaces interfaceable with Analog sensors, RTDs, NTCs along with RS485, CAN, I2C, UART interfaces. On-board power isolation and signal isolation for all interfaces are integrated. The built-in hardware watchdog ensures reliability during long-duration missions.
