This is exciting. A Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit (a.k.a “Model C”) arrived in the post today. At last I have a “Raspberry Pi” with a decent number of GPIO pins.
Just as when the Original Pi launched, there is not much information or third-party support yet. In particular, I’d love to see a sensible way of running and testing this using a proper debugger (JTAG?) but there is no mention of this in the scant documentation from the foundation.
There is already project based on this module called ‘Modberry 500’

…and http://www.raspberrypi.org/otto-a-hackable-camera-powered-by-raspberry-pi/
This is definitely not the “Model C”, but simply a stripped-down Raspberry Pi in a different form-factor. (primarily intended for industrial users rather than hobbyists – so I don’t expect much hobbyist-level documentation to be forthcoming)
You can find details of the JTAG pins on http://elinux.org/RPi_BCM2835_GPIOs
