For use with

Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5)

Key Features
  • Compact Design (87x88x25mm): Combines a small footprint with a rich array of I/O peripherals for versatile applications.
  • Dual Ethernet Ports: Features both 1GbE with PoE+ support (for simplified power delivery) and a 2.5GbE port capable of speeds up to 2500Mbps (2.5Gbps) for high-performance networking.
  • Dual M.2 2280 NVMe SSD Slots: Supports up to 8TB (4TB+4TB) via PCIe 2.0 (5Gbps) for fast data transfers and boot times, compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs in 2280, 2242, and 2230 form factors.
  • Dual HDMI 2.0 Ports: Enables dual 4K display output for multimedia or industrial use cases.
  • Dual MIPI DSI/CSI-2 Connectors: 22-pin FPC connectors (0.5mm pitch) compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 CSI and DSI modules for seamless camera and display integration.
  • MicroSD Card Slot: Supports Compute Module 5 Lite variants (without onboard eMMC).
  • Raspberry Pi HAT+ Compatibility: Reuse existing Raspberry Pi HATs to save time and reduce development costs.
  • Convenient Power Button: Easily wake or shut down the Compute Module 5 with a single press.
  • RTC Battery Socket (CR1220): Ensures accurate timekeeping during power interruptions.
  • PWM Fan Support: Includes a fan power connector for adjustable cooling in demanding environments.
  • USB-C Port: Handles both power delivery and OS image loading directly into the CM5’s eMMC.
  • Configurable Jumpers: Allows disabling features like wireless connectivity or EEPROM writing for customization.
  • Streamlined Connector Layout: USB, HDMI, Ethernet, and power ports are grouped along one edge for clean cable management and easy enclosure integration.
