How we built open source Raspberry Pi tablets and survived the chipset shortage
summary
CutiePi is an open source 8-inch Raspberry Pi tablet built around the Compute Module 4 with a custom carrier board and a Qt/QML touch shell that keeps full Raspberry Pi OS compatibility; drivers and device tree are merged upstream so images boot out of the box. All hardware is released as editable PCB and CAD files, the project holds Open Source Hardware JP005, teams iterate with ~10 PCBs per EVT/DVT stage, shipped during the 2020–21 chipset shortage and customers received working devices.
