Other Content
The official onboard diagram is important here because this kit includes more than just the base board. It highlights the Core3506 module, 4G reset and network indicators, USB host expansion, dual Ethernet, PoE header, DSI connector, M.2 slot, GPIO header, and SIM card slot.
The pin definition image is useful when adapting the board to Raspberry Pi HAT style add-ons or when wiring custom peripherals through the 40PIN header and Matrix IO functions.

FAQ
What makes this kit different from the plain Lyra Pi A W board?
This SKU is the 4G Kit, so it includes the SIM7600G-H-M.2 cellular module, antenna hardware, and mounting accessories instead of just the base board.
Does this board have a TF card slot?
The Lyra Pi A series does not include the TF card slot used on some B-series versions. That is why this kit emphasizes eMMC and module-based configurations instead.
What kinds of projects fit this kit best?
It is a strong fit for Linux IoT gateways, 4G-connected control terminals, remote monitoring nodes, and networked DSI display systems.
