The
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) Development Kit is your all-in-one solution for building powerful embedded systems. This kit includes the
Compute Module 5, a
CM5 IO board (Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Wireless, 4GB
RAM, 32GB
eMMC), a rugged
metal case, a
passive cooler for heat management, and a complete
antenna kit for wireless connectivity.
To get you up and running quickly, we've also included a
standard HDMI cable, a
USB-A to USB-C cable, and a
27W USB-C PD power supply.
The Compute Module 5 is available in a range of configurations to suit your project needs, with options for different eMMC storage capacities, DRAM sizes, and both wireless and non-wireless variants. Whether you’re building industrial systems, custom electronics, or other embedded solutions, the CM5 has you covered. Perfect for developers looking to integrate Raspberry Pi power into their own hardware designs!

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- eMMC
-
Embedded MultiMediaCard is built-in flash storage soldered onto a board, similar in purpose to an SD card but integrated. It matters because it holds the operating system and files without needing a separate memory card.
- HDMI
-
HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- RAM
-
RAM (random-access memory) is fast, temporary memory a device uses for working data while it is running; in its common volatile form, its contents are lost when power is removed. Some devices offer a mode that applies settings to RAM only, which is handy for testing changes temporarily because they are not stored permanently and disappear at power-off.
- USB PD power supply
-
A charger or power adaptor that uses USB Power Delivery to negotiate higher voltages and currents over USB-C. It matters because the device and cable must support the required PD power level, otherwise a board, soldering iron, laptop, or other product may charge slowly or not run at all.
- USB-C
-
USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
