Sprocket (ASG008) is the lighter of the two at 28 g, but is the more minimal board — it brings out only 1 USB OTG port and has no Ethernet ports on the carrier. It's a single-sided, lowest-profile 87 x 50 mm carrier. connecttec... +3connecttech.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=28 g”connecttech.com ↗“io.usb_ports=1”connecttech.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=0”connecttech.com ↗“smallest, lowest-profile 87 x 50 mm carrier”

Elroy (ASG002) weighs 41 g and offers more I/O: 2 USB ports (USB 3.0 and 2.0) and 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, alongside HDMI, dual MIPI CSI-2 inputs, and two mini-PCIe sockets. connecttec... +3connecttech.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=41 g”connecttech.com ↗“io.usb_ports=2”connecttech.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=1”connecttech.com ↗“HDMI, USB 3.0 and 2.0, GbE and two RS-232/485 serial ports”

In short: if you need Ethernet connectivity and more USB ports, the Elroy is the one to pick; the Sprocket trades I/O for a 13 g weight saving in the smallest, lowest-profile form factor. Both share the same 87 x 50 mm board dimensions and both are Active lifecycle. connecttec... +1connecttech.com ↗“identity.lifecycle_status=Active”connecttech.com ↗“identity.lifecycle_status=Active”
