The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) is a compact system-on-module (SoM) that brings the full power of the Raspberry Pi 5 into a more customizable form factor, ideal for embedded and industrial applications. Designed for developers and makers who need to integrate advanced computing power into their own systems, the Compute Module 5 features a powerful Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4 GHz, and offers up to 8GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage. It also includes connectivity options like Gigabit Ethernet, certified Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, and multiple I/O interfaces for enhanced flexibility in system design. With the added ability to interface with custom PCBs, the CM5 can easily be integrated into tailored embedded systems.
Powerful Performance with High Flexibility
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 is built around the Broadcom BCM2712, a 64-bit ARM Cortex-A76 processor clocked at 2.4GHz. This powerful CPU delivers desktop-grade performance for embedded systems, enabling you to run intensive tasks such as AI-powered applications, real-time data processing, and high-definition video decoding. With its broad range of RAM and storage options, from 2GB RAM to 8GB RAM and up to 64GB of eMMC storage, the CM5 is capable of handling a variety of embedded tasks with ease, making it suitable for both consumer and industrial applications.
Enhanced I/O and Connectivity Options
The Compute Module 5 is designed with versatility in mind, featuring multiple I/O interfaces that cater to a wide array of applications. It supports Gigabit Ethernet for fast network connections and includes dual USB 3.0 ports and a USB 2.0 port for peripheral integration. The CM5 also comes with dual HDMI 2.0 ports that support up to 4Kp60 resolution on both outputs simultaneously, making it ideal for high-definition multimedia applications. Additionally, the module has two MIPI interfaces, offering support for displays and cameras, providing extra flexibility for custom visual systems. For wireless connectivity, the CM5 offers fully certified Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 support, ensuring fast and reliable wireless communication for your projects.
Customizable Design for Embedded Systems
One of the major selling points of Compute Module 5 is its adaptability. Unlike standard Raspberry Pi boards, which are pre-configured with fixed ports and connectors, the CM5 allows developers to design custom PCBs that match specific application requirements. This level of flexibility makes the CM5 ideal for industrial solutions, smart devices, IoT systems, and other embedded applications where space, cost, and specific I/O requirements must be taken into account. The Raspberry Pi development kit for CM5 further aids in prototyping by providing an IO board and all the necessary accessories to start designing embedded systems from day one.
