Enhance your Raspberry Pi project with the Nano Base Board (A) – the indispensable companion for the powerful Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). Boasting the same footprint as the CM5, this compact base board is more than just a mounting platform; it's an essential toolkit designed to harness the full capabilities of the CM5 while fitting seamlessly into even the most space-constrained applications.
Product Description:
Upgrade your development and end-product integration with the Nano Base Board (A), meticulously crafted to accommodate all variants of the Compute Module 5. As a center for innovation and practicality, this base board serves as the stepping stone for evaluating the CM5 or incorporating it into your finished projects.
Key Features:
  • Perfectly Matched Dimensions: At 55 × 40mm, it mirrors the size of the CM5, ensuring a clean, unified setup.
  • Versatile Connectivity: Equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A port, dual MIPI 4-lane interfaces, and the proprietary 40PIN GPIO interface, expandability is at your fingertips. 
  • Storage Options: Features a TF card socket applicable for CM5 Lite variants (without eMMC), offering flexibility in data storage and system booting.
  • Efficient Power Management: The board accepts a 5V power input, doubling as a programming resource for eMMC burning. The thoughtful design includes a FAN header for cooling solutions, a power button, and a BOOT button to streamline the burning mode process.
  • LED Status Indicators: Stay informed of your Raspberry Pi's operational status with dual-color LED indicators.
  • Functional Pins: Special function pins for CM5 core power enable, ETH SYNC signal, and IO-VREF selection set the board apart, providing customizable logic level configurations and function enablement.
About the Compute Module 5:
The CM5 is a technological marvel with its BCM2712, a quad-core Cortex-A76 64-bit SoC offering exceptional performance. It comes in multiple RAM and eMMC flash configurations, elevating storage speeds up to 200 Mbps. Designed for industrial applications, the CM5 supports a certified radio module with various antenna options and features onboard Gigabit Ethernet PHY and PCIe Gen 2 x1 interfaces.
What You Get:
  • Nano Base Board (A) x1
  • 2*20PIN color-coded straight pinheader x1
Please note: The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 is not included. Enhance your technological ensemble by purchasing the CM5 separately.

Weighing just 0.015 kg, the Nano Base Board (A) for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 offers a sophisticated solution without the bulk. It's the ultimate choice for developers and innovators looking to push the boundaries of their embedded computing projects.

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.
GPIO
General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
MIPI
MIPI is a high-speed display and camera interface often used inside phones, tablets, and embedded devices. It matters because raw MIPI displays usually need special driver hardware or software support, unlike plug-and-play HDMI screens.
RAM
RAM is temporary memory used while a device is running, and its contents are lost when power is removed. A “Run in RAM” mode is useful for testing settings without permanently programming the module, but it may not support every feature.
