Introducing the industrial Raspberry Pi 'Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5', which also includes a fan-equipped case and I/O board



The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 , which maintains the processing performance of

the Raspberry Pi 5 while being smaller for industrial and embedded applications, was released on November 27, 2024. At the same time, I/O boards and fan-equipped cases that can be used in combination with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 have also been released.

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 looks like this. Like the Raspberry Pi 5, it is equipped with Broadcom's SoC 'BCM2712' and its proprietary controller 'RP1'. RAM capacity can be selected from '2GB', '4GB', and '8GB', and storage capacity can be selected from '0GB', '16GB', '32GB', and '64GB'. In addition, models that support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also available.



The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 can boot the OS not only from the built-in eMMC flash memory, but also from an external SSD connected via PCIe. On the other hand, it is not possible to boot the OS from a microSD card. Here is the result of Tom's Hardware, an overseas media company, measuring the OS boot speed of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. The external SSD is slightly faster than the built-in eMMC flash memory.



The specifications are as follows.

There is also an I/O board specifically for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5.



When the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 is attached to the dedicated I / O board, it looks like this.



According to Tom's Hardware, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 can reuse some of the I/O boards designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, but the I/O board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, the Sourcekit PiTray mini , did not work.



This is a case that perfectly fits the 'I/O board with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 attached'. It also has a cooling fan.



There is also a dedicated heat sink available.



The antenna can be the same as that of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.



The 'Raspberry Pi Development Kit for Compute Module 5' is also available, which includes the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 itself, an I/O board, a case, a heat sink, an antenna, a power supply, an HDMI cable, and a USB cable.



The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 costs $45 (about 6,800 yen), and its Japanese distributor, Switch Science, is currently in the process of applying for approval.




It is also scheduled to be released on 'KSY'.

The 'Raspberry Pi Development Kit for Compute Module 5', a development kit that includes the 'Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5', the official I / O board, the official case, etc., has arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department, so we have published an article checking the contents and details of various parts.

I received the development kit for the industrial Raspberry Pi 'Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5', so I took a closer look at the contents and the installed chips. Review - GIGAZINE
