IO Board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5

Description

Visit Compute Module 5 IO Board is a complete expansion board for hosting and fully exploiting all Compute Module 5 functionalities. It transforms the module into a truly modular, ready-to-use platform, suitable for industrial, automation, media center or advanced prototyping projects.

Extensive and versatile interfaces

This card offers a set of interfaces essential for operating the CM5, including :

• Two full-size HDMI 2.0 ports, ideal for connecting standard displays.
• Gigabit Ethernet port with optional PoE support, for connection and power supply via a single cable.
• Two USB 3.0 ports, useful for high-speed peripherals.
• A microSD slot for CM5 Lite versions without internal memory.
• An M.2 M-Key connector for installing an NVMe SSD and adding a fast storage solution.
• Two MIPI connectors (DSI and CSI-2) for easy integration of monitors and cameras.
• A standard Raspberry Pi 40-pin HAT slot, for adding compatible modular extensions.
• A PWM fan connector, an RTC (button battery) slot, and a physical power on/off button similar to that on the Raspberry Pi 5.
  Perfectly balanced, the card combines accessibility, modularity and functionality.

Reliable power supply and advanced configuration

It's powered via a USB-C port, negotiated to deliver up to 5 A, to meet the power needs of even the most demanding applications. Configuration jumpers allow you to enable/disable certain functions (e.g. boot from eMMC, boot via USB OTG, or even the power button) to better adapt the board to each project.

Durable, adapted structure

Designed as a long-term tool, it measures approximately 160 × 90 mmThis is a practical format for integration on a panel, in a rack or in an industrial enclosure. Its long production life makes it a durable choice for professional or educational installations.

Possible applications

It is ideally suited to the following applications:

• Rapid prototyping test a CM5 in different configurations with all ports immediately available.
• Local server or modular media center Thanks to the M.2 port and USB3, you can add storage, keyboard or external hard drive.
• Embedded projects and industrial IoT With PoE, RTC, fan and robust power supply, it offers a ready-to-use base.
• Educational workshops Its power button, direct access to all ports and secure structure make it easy to learn.

Easy to use right out of the box

Simply insert the CM5, supply power via USB-C or PoE, connect peripherals (HDMI, USB, Ethernet...), and you're ready to go. To take things a step further, every feature can be adjusted via jumpers or the power button.
