Important Notes

  • The USB 3.0 Type-C port does not support reversible insertion; confirm orientation before plugging in.
  • CM5 core boards with eMMC only boot from eMMC; the onboard TF card slot is invalid for these versions.
  • The power on/off button is natively supported by Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu; not supported by default in OpenWrt.
  • PCIe expansion modules (WiFi7/SSD/TPU/AI) require a dedicated same-direction PCIe FPC cable.

Overview

The CM5_Tiny is a small expansion board designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi CM5 core board. It features standard interfaces including MicroHDMI/RTC/CAM/DISP/Fan/USB 3.0, with the HDMI port supporting 4K output, as well as a power button, a 1.25mm 4P USB port, and a 16Pin PCIe slot. It also has a dedicated USB 2.0 OTG port, which can be used to program the system to an eMMC/TF card and can be configured as a USB network adapter under OpenWrt. With OpenWrt, the CM5_Tiny can connect to a router via WiFi as a WLAN, and connect to a PC via USB OTG as a LAN.

With 4G LTE, the CM5_Tiny can connect to a PC via 4G under OpenWrt, using either WiFi or USB OTG on the CM5 core board itself as a LAN.
